Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rich Duprey]

  When China developed its so-called Golden Shield project that used technology to monitor, censor, and otherwise contain its citizens, U.S. companies that helped the government develop the program rightly came in for criticism.Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO  ) provided the networking equipment critical to operating the vast, complicated surveillance system that was installed. Honeywell (NYSE: HON  ) , United Technologies (NYSE: UTX  ) , General Electric (NYSE: GE  ) , and IBM were all there providing the repressive regime with the technology and know-how to keep its citizens in check.

  Both VYM and VIG are also overweight in Consumer Staples, which makes sense, as well as Conglomerates. VIG's top three holdings based on March 30, 2013 share counts are Pepsico Inc. (PEP), Procter & Gamble Co. (PG), and Coca-Cola Co. (KO). In contrast, VYM has these three as well, but they are ranked, 16th, 6th and 11th respectively. VYM conglomerate exposure is through General Electric Co. (GE), United Technologies Corp. (UTX) and 3M Co. (MMM). VIG does not have GE, but does have the other two and three smaller firms as well. It is slightly surprising to see small VIG with fewer holdings have more in a specific sector than VYM.
