SWKS was my worst holding in 2016. Didn't help that it was in a bad neighborhood: NASDAQ up 7.5% vs 9.5% for the S&P and a very strong 13.4 for the Dow.

Buffett's BRK was up an incredible 23% for the year. Again, buy/hold generally worked out well... maybe not so well with SWKS.

Looks like SWKS was down about 2% this year, or nearly breakeven counting the dividend. My Walgreens was about the same.

Not sure what my best winner was. My small holding in Comcast was up 25% and another 2% for the dividend. Rockwell Automation was up about 30%+.

Overall, my individual stocks seem to have roughly matched the S&P 500. A so-so year for me. Did have a number of dividend increases in 2016.

No buys/sells in 2016. Will continue to hold SWKS.
