 TOP DOGS OF THE DOW

Top Dogs Of The DOW  Performance

Here are the amazing results of a very simple strategy detailed in the book, Buffett and Beyond.  It is simply a buy and hold strategy where you choose the 8 stocks from the Dow 30 with the highest Clean Surplus Return on Equity at the beginning of the year and hold them for the entire year. 

The first chart below shows that owning the Top 8 most efficiently operated companies in the Dow returned on average 14.2% per year VS the Dow average return of 8.9% per year over the past 24 years.  14.2% - 8.9% divided by 8.9% is an extra return of almost 60% per year just by investing in the 8 most efficient stocks in the Dow and holding for one full year.

Under the chart below, you will see another chart of the growth of $100,000 invested in the Top Dogs relative to the growth of $100,000 invested in the Dow 30 index.  I think the difference between $1,740,748 and $745,736 over 24 years is worth talking about.  That's a difference of 133%.

Please remember the Return On Equity (ROE) used in the Buffett and Beyond method is not, repeat not, the same traditional accounting ROE you hear about every day.  The ROE we use is configured by the use of Clean Surplus.  Clean Surplus is described in the book, Buffett and Beyond and the course for both CPAs and professionals coming out within the next few months.
