Dogs of the Dow
Buys Michael O’Higgins’s mechanical classic: the ten Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks with the highest dividend yield — the “dogs” the market currently likes least. The original version buys them once a year and holds for a year; here the list is redetermined on every run from the current yield, with the Dow’s composition taken from a curated list as of June 2026. Only shares our own deep-dive analysis rates green are bought — yellow or no analysis at all is not enough. New positions are added four times a year; a stock is sold as soon as it drops out of the ten highest yields or is no longer rated green. If the list holds no green-rated share, the portfolio stays in cash.
