Good list Erik!

The only problem I have with it is that it's TOO conservative if a guy only owned those big cap big dow names. The yield on them is just not enough - which is why I pitch -- offset some big cap dow stuff like McDonalds and Coke - with a name that pays 6 or 7%.... and has a bit more risk. If you don't do that - you end up with a portfolio paying 3% or less - and that won't keep up with inflation. It'll grow - and it'll be safe - ya just need to be somewhere in the middle... Too safe is where old guys like me reside.
