This is silly and amateurish....certain stocks are just dead growth wise...Phillip Morris generated 110,000% since the 50s....I'd strongly advise not buying the whole market to anyone who is capable of research and reading a company balance sheet
Congrats if you had the foresight to buy Phillip Morris back in the 50's.
But many people would have bought Eastman Kodak instead. Or PanAm. And have nothing today. For that matter, why not just buy WalMart in 1970?
If you buy an index you don't have to worry about which winner to pick, you'll still do pretty well. But if you want to gamble on the future, go right ahead.

Ok....did eastern airlines or Kodak pay a dividend that grew year over year for 30+ years as most divided titans do? Exactly they didn't so their long term solvency wasn't really a shock...most companies that are div titans raised dividends even in the worst markets like 1987,tech bubble,2008,2009 and so on...no comparison.
