The Index Beating Strategy That Appears To Really Work: "Dogs Of The Dow"

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Michael O’Higgins might not be a household name. But some believe he should be. After all, he might have achieved something that nobody else has done. In 1978, he devised a strategy that he declared would beat the Dow and the S&P 500. There’s nothing new about that. Plenty of money managers claim they own a secret sauce. Some do well for a handful of years– until the market bites them back. Investment graveyards are filled with would-be legends. Many employed complicated methods: shorting the market; using leverage; utilizing quant-based projections and fancy algorithms. But like the Greek legend, Icarus, they eventually fell to Earth.
