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

Dogs of the Dow and buy therefore new Dogs of the Dow.

I’ve no idea if
those stocks are really good investments. If I look at the current results, I would
only buy a few of them but not all. For sure, every investor needs a clear strategy
to follow and it's very easy to stop thinking and making research when you put
each year the best dogs into your portfolio.
I truly believe that this strategy is also no guarantee for better returns but you can get new ideas for your asset allocation. The more often your target investment appears on your daily screens, the more attractive is the company.
