Dogs Of The Dividend Aristocrats Index 2015


The “Dogs of the Dow Jones” theory is a popular investment strategy. Put most of your money into those stocks from the Dow Jones with the highest yield, cheapest price ratios and big expected earnings growth.

It's easier to tell you this than to do it. However, I like to enlarge this philosophy to stocks from the Dividend Aristocrats index.
