Dogs of the Dow Jones originally published on “long-term-investments.blogspot.com“. I love it to make profits with stocks but I also need to accept that I will lose some money in the stock market if I’m too greedy and take big risks. There are hundreds and thousands of assets strategies out there and every tactic to gain money from the stock market could work and give you a passive income if you are disciplined.

One investment strategy I would like to update today is the Dogs of the Dow Jones investing rule. The popular investment theory was introduced by Michael O’Higgins in 1991 and became very popular.
