Dogs of the Dow is simply the top ten stocks in the Dow sorted by dividend yield. Flying Five further sorts those by lowest price. Net Payout yield is the top ten Dow stocks sorted by net payout yield. See previous posts: Flying Five, Dogs of the Dow; Net Payout Yield.
For the past 30 years or so the Dogs strategy has outperformed the DOW by ~ 3% per annum, and the Net Payout Yield strategy another 3% on top of that (ditto for Flying Five). But are the results simply data mining? The NPY strategy certainly sits the best with me of any of them.
All three performed below the DJIA Index in 2007:
DOW: 6.43%
DOGS: 2.22%
Flying Five: 4.18%
NPY: 6.3%
