FYI: One popular investment strategy is to purchase stocks that have gotten "cheap" on a dividend basis: stocks that pay a higher dividend than their peers. For the Dow Jones Industrial Average, this is known as buying the "Dogs of the Dow", or the ten stocks in the Dow that have the highest dividend yield as of year end, equally weighted. The strategy is simple and easy to execute; it requires at most twenty trades per year, and operates on the theory that stocks that pay a high dividend will see higher total returns over the long run than stocks that don't.
