As I stated in the article Buying Dividend Growth Stocks Without Looking , I recently skimmed from the top 25 holdings of the Dividend Achievers Index, available in ETF form from Vanguard. In March of 2015 I sold VIG and purchased these 15 individual holdings: 3M , Pepsi , CVS Health Corporation , Wal-Mart , Johnson & Johnson , Qualcomm , United Technologies , Lowe's , Walgreens Boots Alliance , Medtronic , Nike , Abbott Labs , Colgate-Palmolive , Texas Instruments and Microsoft .
