Ten High Scoring Dreman Stocks with Low-Price Dividend Ratios

DWS Dreman Value Income Edge Fund (DHG) is a closed end fund that IPO'd in '07 at $20, now trades at $4, an 80% loss, similar to any fund with Dreman in the name. He doubled down into Fannie Mae common and preferrred until Fannie was a 7% position in DHG at the time of its government takeover and total loss to the fund. That is reckless and irresponsible.

The Dreman brand of contrarian investing has been catastrophically out of synch and out of favor for the last two years. I am sorry to have ever heard of David Dreman and his previous track record.

DHG is a leveraged combination of dividend paying equities, high yield bonds and a hedge type short strategy. The equities cratered, the bonds evaporated and the shorts appreciated in share price.
