2008 Dogs of the Dow (C, PFE, T, VZ, MO, GM, DD, JPM, GE, HD)

Since it is year-end, we wanted to compile a list of the 2008 likely Dogs of the Dow.  We included Friday’s closing prices for each DJIA component and we also gave the current dividend yield.  It is always possible that these can change if the performance shoots up or if other DJIA components get hit extremely hard, but these should be the 10 Dogs of the Dow, sorted by yields going highest to lowest:

Citigroup (C) $30.24                       7.2%
Pfizer (PFE) $23.24                         5.5%
AT&T (T) $41.48                               4.0%
Verizon (VZ) $44.32                         3.9%
Altria (MO) $77.43                            3.9%
General Motors (GM) $26.64         3.8%
Dupont (DD) $45.35                        3.7%
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) $44.11    3.5%
General Electric (GE) $37.14         3.4%
Home Depot (HD) $26.66              3.4%

We’ll be following up next week with a more expanded statistical piece along with our own outlook from a673b.bigscoots-temp.com for each component of the 2008 Dogs of the Dow.
