Best 2014 Dividend Stock Pick Returns Beating Both Benchmarks! I started this “tradition” on my blog back in 2012. The goal is to pick 20 US and 10 CDN dividend stocks that I think will outperform their peers. This is the reason why I use VIG and XDV as my benchmarks. I keep track of my results for accountability purposes. I find that too many analysts and blogs just drop the ball on their picks when they aren’t so great. By posting monthly results, I have no choice but to face my …
