Would add to what another said:  Do you really want to be owning (and tracking) all these different stocks?

If you want divds+growth,  may I recommend that you open a brokerage acct and consider the following "simple"  ETF divd portfolio:

1. VYM (or DVY) = U.S. Divd stocks

2. PID = Ex-U.S. divd stocks.

As these are both ETFs, the E/Rs are very low.  Am certain you can find a brokerage which will re-invest the divds for you.

Alternatively, just purchase Vanguard Wellington. Its E/R is neglible.  It will provide you a U.S.-centric investment, using a 60/40 stock/bond allocation.    It strives to provide regular recurrng income plus growth.  Its been around since about 1929. The current manager seems to be doing a fine job (he UNDER-owned the financials recently).
