I agree, especially over the long run.
In a quickly advancing market like seen coming out of the recession, you may lag for a few years as higher growth and recovery stocks will see higher gains. However, in today's market with higher volatility and lower growth, the higher dividend yields and lower beta from quality names will likely outperform.
