10 companies that control everything. - Concasto - 04-13-2014
Well not everything, but almost. They all pay a dividend. Getting into a basket of these stocks when div yields creep up may be a good idea.

Too bad Mars is a private company. There's only two types of food, Snickers & everything else.

I own 6 of them

I'd like to get my hands on them too. I just own one from the list (JNJ).

I thought this article on Seeking Alpha was interesting as well.
The Only 20 Companies That Matter.
"The most profitable 20 companies represent 20% of total U.S. profits."

Unfortunately a portfolio of those 10 underperform the S&P.

On the way up, sure.
My blackjack play over the last 3 months has out performed these stocks.

Cool, I own 7 of these, nuts!
PG, YUM, KO, K, GIS, PEP, and UL
KO being my largest position but it's still relatively small.
I've been watching KRFT and MDLZ, might buy some later this year.

Too true, over the long term it is a sound portfolio.

No, they do not underperform if your metric is current dividend yield. They outperform by a lot.

I was referring to total return in the last bull run. IMO, measuring anything else doesn't make a lot of sense.
