Investment Strategy: A Value and Contrarian Approach To Investing
This strategy is based upon a variation of the popularized investment strategy known as "The Dogs Of The Dow," that generated over a 15% average annual return since 1973 with relatively few losing years (see "Notes 1, 2 & 3").

The idea behind this strategy is to buy certain Dow Jones Industrial companies with the lowest P/E ratios and the highest dividend yields. By doing so, this strategy buys Dow stocks that are cheaper relative to their peers. This strategy targets buying good companies when they are temporarily out of favor and their stocks prices are low, with the intention of selling them after they have rebounded over a period of time.

Why has this strategy proven so successful? By investing in stocks from the exclusive Dow Jones Industrial Average, an individual investor knows that he or she is buying well known, quality companies that have strong balance sheets with sufficient financial strength to ride out tough times.

Over time, the market goes through cycles - sometimes favoring growth strategies and at other times favoring value strategies. This is a value and contrarian approach to investing that complements Green Pastures' Growth Model.
