Buy 3 September Dogs Of The Dow; Watch 6

Summary

• "The Dow® [adds a stock] if the company has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth, and is of interest to a large number of investors... Sector representation...is also a consideration.” - Dow Jones & Co.
• The highest-yield 10 stocks are September’s Dogs of the Dow: INTC, MRK, KO, AMGN, JNJ, CSCO, IBM, CVX, DOW, and VZ. They still average just a 3.66% annual yield.
• Thirty Dow stocks represent nine of the eleven-sectors. Dow Jones tracks utilities as a separate index and omits real estate. Broker top-ten target-estimated September net-gains range 17.25%-43.62%, topped-by INTC as of 9/4/24.
• Dow Industrial Index top-ten firms by broker target-price upside, INTC, BA, AMZN, CVX, DIS, CRM, MSFT, MRK, DOW, and NKE, averaged 24.67%.
• Analyst one-year targets featured ten highest-yield Dow stocks producing 32.89% more gain from $5k invested in the lowest-priced five than from the same investment in all ten. Lower-priced (“little” Dow dogs) lead the pack by over three and one-quarter lengths into September.
