Monthly update:
Four years is a short time, but I still believe that over time, starting out higher yield, and taking advantage of the market of stocks in different ways, will do better than the S+P and a strict DGI portfolio, income and total return. Ten years will tell better. I still believe dividends are key.
| Others don't like to compare and that is their prerogative. I've seen reasons explained in many ways.
The way I see it, I'm not letting my offense refuse to play because there "could" be a blitz.
I'm not letting my defense refuse to play because they don't know ahead of time if the play will be a run or a pass.
I don't want a participation certificate. That said, I'm definitely being outscored in the second quarter.
Even so, it was a fun year. Really would like a nice correction though.
