Dogs of the Dow Follow Up

    Posted by sbaxman111 on 19th of Oct 2016 at 12:15 pm

    The 5 highest dividend yields in the Dow at the end of 2015 were VZ, CAT, CVX, XOM, and IBM. At the time that I calculated their YTD performance a few minutes ago on a buy and hold basis, VZ was up +14.15%, CAT was up +33.19%, CVX was up + 18.65%, XOM was up +15.00%, and IBM was up +12.97%. An equal weight investment in all 5 for the year would average around 18.79%.

    By applying the new Spy Pro LONG trade dates to these same stocks:

    VZ is up 26.24%, CAT is up +46.82%, CVX is up +35.66%, XOM is up +23.80%, and IBM is up +44.47%. An equal weighting here is up about +35.40%.

    The Dow is up approx +4.60% YTD on a buy and hold basis
