The Dogs of the Dow Theory


If you're after the "quick kill" stop here!
If you believe good investments take time, discipline, and strategy, this section is for you! Under this theory you pick from the Dow 30 1-5 stocks with the highest Dividend ratio (and thereby the most depressed price) and adjust periodically Here's a result of buying after the recent dip in the market (bought on 12/31/98) with $25,000 to invest.


However, If you are among our more conservative clients:



SYMBOL PRICE @ 12/31/98 SOLD AT GAIN/LOSS
JPM 105 140 1,665
MMM 71 81 729
CHV 83 95 727
GM 72 90 1240


Not bad ! A $4,361 profit in 120 days on the phantom portfolio.
By the way's the over 55% (APR) Return on Investment!!
