Dogs of the Dow Stock Picking System

Overview

The "Dogs of the Dow" strategy is a trading system that buys beaten up Dow Jones Industrial 30 stocks. Each Dow stock is ranked on an annual basis by dividend yield, and stocks ranked #2 thru #5 are invested in with the stock in position #2 getting a double weighting.

Commentary

With the addition of Microsoft, Intel, and Home Depot in late 1999, three large cap growth stocks with little dividends, the Dow lost a considerable percentage of high-yielding stocks. As a result, Doh.com believes that the "Dogs of the Dow" strategy may no longer be a viable investing strategy for its followers. As of 01/01/2001, Doh.com no longer tracks the system.
