There is nothing wrong with a yield strategy.

Bonds don't have a lot of room to run. There is a large & growing community of older investors seeking yield.

There are certainly stocks among the div yielders that are overvalued right now, but if you're investing on even a 10 year horizon, those yields are pretty juicy as a class and they provide some downside protection.

And heck, the Dow is only up something like 1% this year and is lagging the S&P and Nasdaq pretty significantly the last few years.

I'd much rather hold a basket of yielders than growth right now.
