Our 150+ dividend-paying companies portfolio has outperformed the S&P 500 on a total return basis (which includes re-invested dividends) without having any of the S&P 500 top-7 cap-weighted stocks {i.e., without " The Magnificent Seven" tech stocks — Apple ( AAPL ), Alphabet ( GOOGL, GOOG ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Amazon ( AMZN ), Meta ( META ), Tesla (TESLA) and Nvidia (NVDA) — which make up 29% of the S&P 500's performance}. Our site [BSDN] has outperformed The Prudent Speculator [TPS] for the last 6+ years that we have both been tracked by hulbertratings.com.  TPS is a dividend oriented advisory site with a remarkably outstanding 40 year 14.13% Average Annual Rate Of Return, however its recommendations involve not just buying, but also keeping up with its selling and rebalancing.  In contrast our site's recommendations only involve buying and holding (you only sell if you need funds)!
