Lots of good portfolio's, so I thought I'd look at trying to pick only 15 stocks I would recommend. Came up with the following, mainly for their long history of paying and increasing their dividend and that all offer Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Purchases. I'd consider it a very conservative portfolio and could have easily added 10 to the list.
