Dogs of the Dow

Dogs of the Dow
The Dogs of the Dow strategy just became much easier,
now that you have found SignalTrend's Dogs of the Dow
page. The Dow's top ten yielding stocks are presented
along with other helpful information. You can see critical
information in an "at a glance" format. Prices are shown if
you want to buy the low price five out of the high yield 10.

Eight other screens show relevant value and growth data
for the 100 stocks in the S&P 100.

Buybacks
One of the most important screens is the Top 10
Buybacks - S&P 100 screen. You'll see which S&P 100
companies are most aggressively accumulating their own
stock. The Top 10 Issuers screen shows the ten
members of the S&P 100 which are heavy sellers
(issuers) of their own stock. When a company's market
activity in its own stock is extremely focused on either
buying or selling its own shares, one has to wonder if the
directors know something that we don't.

All nine screens below have a Stock Buyback vs.
Sales column which shows the net dollar repurchase of
stock by the company divided by the market value of the
company.

S&P 100 Stock Screens
The S&P 100 contains one hundred of Wall Street's largest and
best known companies.

Nine free screens show the ten S&P 100 companies with:
● Highest Yields
● Lowest Price / Earnings ratios
● Lowest Price / Book ratios
● Highest 5 Year Total Returns
● Highest 3 Year Earnings Per Share Growth
● Strongest Buyback Histories - Companies that are
● aggressively buying back their own shares.

Stock Buyback %
When a company raises funds by issuing shares, it is essentially, selling its-self. The issuance (sale) of new shares by a company is
the opposite of a buyback. The column titled "Stock Buybacks vs. Sales" shows the net dollar repurchase of stock by the
company over the last four reported quarters divided by the market value of the company. If the result is positive, the company
was a net buyer of its own stock. If the result is negative, the company was a net seller of its stock.

Net Payout Yield %
The Net Payout Yield % is the sum of the Dividend Yield and Stock Buyback columns. It represents the sum of the dollars spent on
both dividends and stock repurchases divided by the Market Value of the stock. Dividends benefit shareholders by distributing cash
directly to the shareholders. Funds used for buybacks decrease the number of outstanding shares and proportionately increase the
ownership percentage (and EPS) of each remaining outstanding share.

Trailing P/E
The ratio of the stocks latest closing price to the company's earning per share from total operations for the last reported 12 months.

Price/Book
Ratio of the share price to the company's book value per share using the latest reported figure. Book value is the total assets of a
company minus total liabilities, also called shareholder's equity.

3 Yr. EPS Growth
The three year actual compounded annual growth rate of earnings per share using the latest 12-month figures, derived by the least
squares method, using 4 data points - a base year plus 3 subsequent annual data points.

Dogs of the Dow

The 10 highest dividend paying stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) are shown above. The "Dogs of the Dow"
strategy, was popularized in the 1991 book "Beating the Dow", by Michael O'Higgins. O'Higgins started with the 10 highest dividend
paying stocks in the Dow and then narrowed the list based on share price. Others have expanded since that time with adjustments to
the selection process.
