Not 100%. They have characteristics and you can look for them. And the fact that I had good luck with six doesn't guarantee I'll have the same with more. And to be VERY clear, for something like this, I'll use money I can afford to lose, if I do it. It does fly opposite everything that I do with buying dividend-payers.

That may or may not be.   Could not prove it either way by me.

Here is the thing, I do not need to do it.  I do not want to spend the the time trying to learn that obscure corner of the markets.  I simply see not reason, happily retired for 8 years at the age of 70, to go there.

Increasing dividend cash flow by at least 10% each year, that is where I am at.
