BTW, although I don't own a share of about half those stocks, if I were told I had to flip my entire port into those 20 stocks today, I'd be OK with it. I'll get an above market average yield, less volatility, and a very good chance every stock on that list not only survives the next depressed market, but likely grows my income some right through the turmoil. Maybe not at 10%, the entire port average increases some. Consider that a complement. Not a chance in hell you would have picked my port only six months ago.
