[quote=Anonymous]answer the question. why shouldn't someone just go to vanguard and buy a very low-fee index fund that tracks either the entire stock market or the s&p 500 (or a mix of those), or buy SPDR shares of such funds. you keep ridiculing that approach as foolish, but your investment strategy appears to be: buy a "basket" of large, established dividend-paying companies and let it ride, re-investing the dividends. i am not seeing the difference here at all, other than the fact that an investor stands to lose more if s/he doesn't pick the right basket of stocks (not only that, but you have to factor in time spent evaluating whether stocks in the basket should be swapped out and whether the investor is picking the right stocks).
