The Magic Formula's Top 11 Dividend Stocks

Shame on you - anyone who knows anything about investing understands that there is no magic formula for stock picking. To make matters worse, every serious academic study shows stock picking is a failed method of investing. Even the great Benjamin Graham recanted on his death bed saying paraphrased that markets are efficient and stock picking is gambling. Articles like this encourage investors to overweight their portfolios in individual holdings. Stock picking of any kind is speculating and gambling. Wake up, you do the investor a huge disservice. -Mark Matson
