Testing the Dogs of the TSX
– moneysense.ca
The Dogs of the TSX is a simple stock picking strategy that appeals to dividend investors. Those who follow it faithfully buy an equal amount of the top 10 yielding stocks in the large-cap S&P/TSX 60 index each year.
While the basic Dogs strategy is simple, I back tested several different takes on it using MoneySense‘s Bloomberg terminal. I’ll show you two of them today.
Just like the basic Dogs strategy, both variants buy an equal amount of the top 10 yielding stocks in the S&P/TSX 60 each year. But they calculate yield in different ways.
