Keep in mind that many blue chip DGI type stocks have low beta's, meaning they are less volatile than the market. This can cause you to lag a bit in the current market as it keeps going up in a near straight line. However, when #$%^ hits the fan, you'll be happy you are in the boring DGI stocks as they probably won't fall nearly as much as the rest of the market and the majority of them will continue to pay and raise dividends.
Remember its a marathon, not a sprint. Its easy to forget that and be distracted by everything going up and the market setting new highs every day. Things can change in a hurry. When they do I'm guessing you'll see the tide shift in the other direction and you'll outperform the benchmarks you are talking about.
