The so-called Dogs of the Dow—the top dividend-yielding stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average—are not fetching the kind of returns that investors may have been counting on this year, particularly after the strategy crushed the broader market in 2016.

The idea is to pick the 10 highest yielding stocks on the Dow and adjust the portfolio at the end of each year to reflect changes in dividends.

But the 10 blue chips that offered generous yields at the end of last year are up an average 2.4% so far in 2017, lagging the 6.3% gain logged by their non-canine peers and the Dow’s DJIA 5.4% year-to-date advance, according to Bespoke Investment Group.

Three of the Dogs—Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., and Verizon Communications Inc.—are, in fact, the worst performing Dow stocks so far.

If you have registered and cannot see the technical indicators on each stock of my Watch List below, make sure you are logged in and refresh your browser.

As an example of the success that my book teaches, in a 7 year time frame from January 3, 2006 to December 31, 2012, Decker Corporation increased 304.7% if you would have implemented a pure buy-and-hold strategy. If you would implemented the strategy that I explain in my book, The Confident Investor, you would have seen a 371.2% return on your investment. This is a 21.8% increase on the profit percentage.

Can your investment system beat the market by that much?
