The focus at this point is on the dividends the company pays considerably than the remuneration growth or charge appreciation. Clothed in regular provisions, the thought is to good buy stocks with the aim of will not solitary wage high-quality dividends, but will retain pricing levels on the classes of the imminent time.
If followed the way it is designed, we think the strategy is ridiculous. Why would investors hunger to invest in a strategy with the aim of requires the routine charge to fall in place of their investment objective to increase in intensity?

Final Thoughts
While we thought earlier, we think the Dogs of the Dow investing strategy is ridiculous. Where would investors in Johnson and Johnson, and Pfizer, be had these companies not been between the top 10 dividend yielders throughout 2010?

Also, allowing for the charge gains in place of many of these stocks throughout 2010, it seems to us with the aim of investors are simply laying a bet with the aim of by the side of the last part of the time, stocks like DuPont in place of instance with the aim of had an increase in intensity in charge throughout 2010 of 46%, will by the side of the very smallest amount retain all of their 2010 charge gains, and last part 2011 between the highest dividend compliant stocks in the Dow Index.
Somehow we don't think the odds are real favorable in place of with the aim of to occur, but after that who knew Kibbles and Bits would be such great big seller?
