When you read my
blog for a longer period, you would get some ideas of stocks you have never heard
before. That’s right; my database includes all 6,607 stocks and some of them are
working in real small niches. Today I like to go back and show you the 10 hottest
dogs of the world’s most mentioned index, the Dow Jones Index.
I cover the “Dogs
of the Dow” strategy in my blog “long-term-investments.blogspot.com” on a
regular basis. The philosophy is to buy 10 stocks of the Dow Jones with the
highest dividend yield and lowest price to earnings ratio at the beginning of
the year and to hold these stocks for a year. After this period, the investor
should sell stocks that are no more Dogs of the Dow and buy therefore new Dogs
of the Dow. Below is an updated sheet of the 10 best Dogs of the Dow. Such
stocks have the lowest expected price to earnings ratio and highest dividend
yield within the Dow Jones Index.
The 10 cheapest stocks of the Dow Jones have an average dividend yield of 3.48 percent as well
as a forward P/E ratio of 12.40. The average P/B ratio amounts to 2.68 and P/S
ratio is 2.18.
