I have decided to
add our hypothetical portfolio based upon my DRIP suggestions since
taking over as the editor of DA in June of 2003. Below you will see
each candidate listed by: date picked, picked price, current price,
and the hypothetical gain/loss on each recommendation. Each week, I
will update these numbers so we can get a clear picture of our
progress (if any).
EDITORS SIDENOTE: I have received several emails from readers asking
about older recommendations that I have made, so instead of listing
a new Drip of the Week article next week, I will be giving a recap
on all the current DRIP's I have recommended since becoming editor
of DRIPAdvisor.com.
