Didn't Motley Fool end up stating publicly that this was not a good investment strategy. They originally came out with this system over a decade ago. I thought they abandoned it several years ago and recommended against it.

Maybe not because I haven't followed that site in recent years.

I think you are correct. However, I just had this money in a bank acount making .01%

I have used it the last couple of years

I think it's a safe way to make a few extra $$ without to much risk

I like AT&T "T" still paying 5.3% Div

In Canada on Toronto the dogs of dow, or dogs of Baystreet have done very well, or portfolio some what based on the highest paying divs.

though you are not diversfied, mainly pipelines and banks., and banks. good to look for stocks that pay dividends, and are increasing those dividends on a regular basis.
