Hi Karw

Thanks for checking my math as I did it by pencil and paper. I got similar results.

I know and believe entry point is the best key to success over the long run. However you evaluated p/e , book value , dividend yield , orcrofts method etc.

You want stable stocks with a history of dividend increasing regularly and the company committed to it. You want reasonable yields equal to inflation or better. You want the business to be growing at a reasonable rate.

Could use the dow or any set of stocks you want. Doesn't matter. Dow is just one well publisized collection.

One place I found fairly recently was Iqtrends.com . They subscribe to dividend yield value investing. They rank their universe of stocks as to value criteria. Once every six months or so I subscribe for 45$ for a month or two and use their list of vetted stocks for a selection universe. I also use mark hings Value stock selector to look for value.

Carl Carson wrote a book on using low priced dow stocks for a selection universe.

No I never researched the dogs of the dow.
