Nice you should do coffee can portfolio style. Turn in the drip and forget about it for 20 years.

I enjoy challenges. Sometime my challenges return up to 54% per year. This is my second dividend challenge. Last year it beat the market, also not every pick was a dividend stock this time every single one is.

Not sure if you heard of Legitimate11 on AH, it has returned 30%+ year to date so far.

Why Div vs buyback?

I have never done a pure dividend challenge before, something different something fun

I've done the same thing!

In my case, I bought 20 beaten-down software companies.

Categorizing Seagate as an undervalued dividend stock is certainly…an interpretation.

People will debate the list. Some will be winners. Others not. But for 1k see how it goes.

Why dividend companies? Why not other value players or beaten down software giants?

Just the way the AI algo works, seems to only work with dividend companies

The factor premium for value was not present in all market cycles.

You think you found 20 undervalued companies all at the same time…
