"I don't think the model is threatened," says Tom Gardner, co-founder of the Motley Fool Website, where an estimated 200,000 "fools" play some version of the Dow dogs. Stan Craig, head of UIT sales at Merrill Lynch (which controls $10 billion in Dow-dog assets), notes that a buy-and-hold investor in the first "Select 10" UIT in 1991 would be up 184% by now, vs. 171% for the Dow.
