Wow, the dividend growth portfolio beat by a mile. I expected it to win, but it was only five years.

This is a good read, especially on a day when I'm on the fence about continuing DGI.

What are you considering switching to?

Thinking about going to total stock market index funds for more diversification.

I think 20-25 non-correlated DGI holdings actually provide more diversification than a total stock market index fund. Lots of overlap in there along with plenty of dog stocks IMO.

I agree.  I pulled the first page of stock holdings (roughly 25) in the total stock market funds, most of which I already own as part of my portfolio.

At this point I have most of the top names in my Roth.  My taxable has a mix of the remainders.  I might double own a few positions between roth and taxable for some blue chips.

Gotta agree with NilesMike.  I bet most DGI'ers portfolios are about as diversified as the S&P 500.  If you truly want to diversify, consider real estate, or something outside of the stock market.
