Great post, <BR/>I wonder how this analysis would have turned out if you had determined the stocks you purchased based on a value analysis. For example in 1997 did Pepsi look cheaper than Coke and still safe, if so why not switch Pepsi for Coke, assuming of course that your methodology attempts to buy quality dividend payers at a fair price.

Jae: JNJ is a stady performer - just what you want out of a long-term dividend investment.<BR/><BR/>Rbacarel: Thanks for the recommendation. I will take a look at Monetta Young Investor Fund.<BR/><BR/>Billm: Thanks. The spreadsheet is available at the end of the post if there is a particular fund you would like to compare it against.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes,<BR/>D4L

Excellent post. Would be very nice to see a comparison against managed mutual funds.

I've been racking my brains to decide which dividend stocks I should buy for my 401k and came to the conclusion that JNJ was the best first buy. Now I just have to take a big bite.<BR/><BR/>This post was a good help.
