T, OHI, KMI

T is a no doubter for this index.  Change my mind with facts lol.  

KMI is solid for energy.  XOM not a bad call IMO.  Sure they've had a great 2021 but much of the last decade has been bad.  Folks definitely buy it for the high dividend.  As biased as I am I don't think our intent should be to kneecap this index to extreme underperformance. I am trying to think back at least three years on this project. 

I am going to nominate MO, IBM and XOM.  Not terrible companies, but I smell yield trap.    

I got more but I'll wait for input from others.
