5 Dogs Of The Dividend Aristocrats Index

The Dogs of the Dow Jones strategy gained a major popularity within the recent years. The strategy is very simple: You only need to invest money into the 10 cheapest stocks of the Dow Jones, measured by expected growth and price to earnings ratios.

This investment rule can also be used for other indices or adjusted by several criteria.
