Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Anyone could see that in March of 2009 O Realty with a yield of 7 percent, Coca Cola with a yield of 4 percent, Altria with a yield of 6.5 percent, VFC with a yield of 3.5 percent, Home Depot at 4 percent Johnson and Johnson at 4 percent, Fed Realty at 3.5 percent all were great picks and all mentioned here.
DVY is not a “proxy” for blue chip dividend stocks, ...
The blue chip dividend fund is SDOG ...
OK, those stocks you mention did rebound well from the downturn. While I am not going to suggest any cherry-picking or hindsight used here (seriously, no sarcasm intended at all), I still ask how an investor that isn't interested in individual stocks can take advantage of any benefits in this area.
SDOG doesn't have a long enough track record to see how it did in the 2000 and 2008 dumps. And it just seems to me that, if that stock list you gave was so easy to see, why didn't many active funds jump on them, and show above average returns?
Is there some SDOG equivalent that has a longer track record?
