Dogs of the Dow Jones Index As Of June 2013

Dogs of the Dow Jones originally published on “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Today I like to deliver you an update of the price ratios from the current Dogs of the Dow Jones. The two telecom carrier AT&T as well as Verizon are still the top yielding stocks on the list. They are followed by semiconductor company Intel and drug producers Merck and Pfizer. Nothing new compared to the results from last month.

The philosophy behind is to buy ten stocks of the Dow Jones with the highest dividend yield and lowest price to earnings ratio at the beginning of the year and to hold these stocks for a year.

Summarized, the 10 cheapest stocks of the Dow Jones have an average dividend yield of 3.50 percent as well as a forward P/E ratio of 12.20. The average P/B ratio amounts to 2.72 and P/S ratio is 2.48.
