The Dividend Dogs Rule
Stocks earned the "dog" moniker by exhibiting three traits: (1) paying reliable, repeating dividends, (2) their prices fell to where (3) yield (dividend/price) grew higher than their peers. Thus, the highest yielding stocks in any collection became known as "dogs". More precisely, these are, in fact, best called "underdogs".

Brokers Cast A 24.79% Advantage For 5 Highest-Yield, Lowest-Priced Technology Sector WallStars To August 2019
10 top Technology WallStars were culled by yield for a quarterly update. Yield (dividend / price) results verified by YCharts did the ranking.

$5000 invested as $1k in each of the 5 lowest-priced stocks in the top 10 Dividend Technology kennel by yield were predicted by analyst 1-year targets to deliver 24.79% more gain than $5,000 invested as $.5k in all 10. The second-lowest priced Technology top yield dog, PCTEL Inc., was projected to deliver the best net gain of 44.91%.
The five lowest-priced Technology top yield stocks for August 1 were Nokia, PCTEL, Inc., Camtek, Daktronics, and Tessco Technologies, with prices ranging from $5.43 to $18.00.

The distinction between five low-priced dividend dogs and the general field of ten reflected Michael B. O'Higgins' "basic method" for beating the Dow. The scale of projected gains based on analyst targets added a unique element of "market sentiment" gauging upside potential. It provided a here-and-now equivalent of waiting a year to find out what might happen in the market. Caution is advised, however, since analysts are historically only 20-80% accurate on the direction of change and just 0-20% accurate on the degree of change.
