Dogs Of The Dow Jones: A Compilation Of The Cheapest Stocks From The Index

Dogs of the Dow Jones originally published on “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Investing is hard work, especially when you don’t have a system or strategy to follow. An investing strategy helps you to avoid big failures and keeps you on track. One popular investing scheme is the dogs of the Dow Jones Strategy.

The Dogs of the Dow Jones Strategy is a popular investment rule or strategy which is used by many investors. The success is controversial. Some studies say that you can create an outperformance by following this rule; others say you don’t have a benefit from it.

The philosophy behind is to buy ten 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 ten best Dogs of the Dow. They have the lowest expected price to earnings ratio and highest dividend yield within the Dow Jones index.

I’ve attached a full list of the current dogs of the Dow Jones in this article.

17 Cheap Large Cap Dividend Contenders Close To New 52-Week Highs

Cheaply valuated dividend growth stocks close to new 52-Week-Highs originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I published recently a small article about Large Cap stocks close to new one-year highs with a single P/E.

The idea behind is that there could be more room for a higher stock price due to the low valuation and the break-out signal. I know that this kind of method is more technically but it should give you some new ideas from a different perspective of the capital market.

Today I would like to screen my dividend income growth stock database by shares with 10 to 25 years of consecutive dividend growth that are 5 percent or less away from new one-year highs. In addition, the earnings income multiple for the next year should be under 15 and the market capitalization over USD 10 billion.

Only 17 stocks fulfilled these criteria of which ten are currently recommended to buy.
