Rockwell Automation (ROK)

Must brag: My portfolio is amazingly similar to Janet Yellen's based on her financial disclosure statement that's been in the press lately.

Like me, she owns only a small number of stocks, mostly blue chipish stuff. She's generally in low cost funds from Vanguard and Fidelity.

According to that two year old disclosure statement she owned:
- DuPont
- Office Max
- Pfizer
- Direct TV
- ConocoPhilips
- Raytheon
- Terradata
- NCR corp
- Cytec Industries

That's a nice bunch of stocks. But nothing as good as ROK. Impossible to know for sure, but they've probably slightly beaten the S&P 500 in recent years. But most of those individual stock holdings are under $15,000... microscopic in view of her and her husband's wealth and income. (he has a Nobel prize in economics!)

"A big chunk – between $1 and $5 million — of Yellen’s money shows up in Vanguard Tax Managed Growth and Income Fund (VTGLX). This low-turnover, large-cap stock fund charges a microscopic 0.12%. It’s of chief interest because of its strong track record in taxable accounts — it’s never paid out any capital gains in its history,"
