Backtesting shows that the Dogs of the Dow strategy beat the DJIA. I'd be interested in knowing if buying the Dogs of the Dow in year 1 and then holding them permanently, instead of rebalancing annually, beat the Dogs strategy. Rarely does a trading strategy beat a sound buy-and-hold strategy.

I think mutual funds, primarily low expense ratio, no load index funds are better than most stock picking "strategies" I might use. You're guaranteed market returns that way, they're tax efficient when you're investing in non-retirement accounts, and it takes absolutely zero time and effort to "research" and "manage" my portfolio.

I look at which companies are in the dogs list and study them. I tend to choose from them if I do believe they are financially solid. I do not invest blindly on them... but I do consider them as good candidates. I do take in consideration the dogs of the dow strategy. I look at which companies are in the dogs list and study them.
