As of right now, our new portfolio of dividend income stocks, or the BTDP, has out performed the S&P 500 in just 5 months. At first, I was using this portfolio as a way of demonstrating how a stock only portfolio could outperform an ETF only portfolio, but it has quickly become another very popular portfolio for investors seeking direction and a plan.
The update for the experiment can be read right here, but this update is intended to highlight the progress of the BTDP in and of itself.
