The DIY aproach to building your own 10 stock portfolio from the Dow makes a lot of sense for anyone wanting control over yield and growth. Price weighted indexes can really distort priorities, so being able to pick the specific companys that align with your divdend goals solves that problem. I like how you balanced high yield names like Verizon with growth drivers like Microsoft to get both income now and future expansion.
Glad you liked the concept. ETFs are a great solution, but in this case, I think all the Dow-based ETFs have flaws. I may see how the 10 stocks I picked end up performing based on those ETFs. Would be a fun future test!
