Dividend Dog Tales Of The Russell 1000 In March
A once per year trading system triggered by yield, called the Dogs of the Index can be used to determine the best-of-the-best dividend stocks. The dogs system empowers investors with all the wisdom and knowledge of the well-paid wizards of investment and publishing for free, as those investors select the highest yielding and lowest priced constituents from a collection of equities built by experts.
The charts below for the Russell 1000 Index reveal high yielding stocks whose prices increased (or whose dividends decreased) as candidates to be sold off once each year in order to sweep gains and reinvest the seed money into higher yielding stocks in the same index.
Two key metrics determined the yields to rank the Russell 1000 dog stocks: (1) stock price; and (2) annual dividend. Dividing the annual dividend by the price of the stock declared the percentage yield by which each dog stock was ranked. Thus the investor was able to follow, trade, and await results from an investment in the lowest priced, highest yielding five or ten stocks in the index.
