Re-upping on this underperforming ETF. In theory dividend stocks should outproduce the S&P, but over time fees eat away any margin, and I'm skeptical of the fidelity of ETF to underlying equities.

I'm a bit skeptical that the market as a whole will do well over the next year or so and dividend producers seem to do better on average, especially when the market is not doing well. All of these companies in this index have increased their dividends for at least 10 consecutive years. Hopefully they can continue to do so in the future.
