I moved about 10% to BP and 10% to GE this past December... my only real recent moves. So, as you see, not a lot of jumping in/out or churning and all of them are big names that pay decent dividends. Of course the account is set up to reinvest on all of them. Of the 10% that I cannot do the brokerage on, about 1/2 is in company stock and the rest is in "growth" funds. I have another little IRA account we set up that has mostly KMB and PG that I have held since 2011. And then there is my wife's 401 which is stuck in some generic Schwab funds, but there are not very many choices for us in that one.

You have good names --- and kudos to you for understanding investing! Now -- quit fretting about all the "news" and talking heads... they'll only get you churned up in the interest of "news".
