Sometimes the simplest strategies can yield the biggest results. Case in point, the venerable Dogs of the Dow. The strategy is nearly 30 years old and has managed to produce steady market returns for most of those years. The key word is most.
Lately, however, the dogs have been more bark than they have been bite, as they are underperforming their parent index by a wide margin.
But that could change in the new year. Thanks to a number of factors, value stocks are starting to regain their mojo. That means the Dogs of the Dow could finally be on top. For investors looking for a high income and good total returns from a portfolio of stable blue-chips, the Dogs are a top draw.
