December 22, 2023

Okay, it’s that time of year. We are going to close out a few of our Dogs and Small Dogs of the Dow positions today and early next week. Once that is complete, we simply wait until the first week of 2024 to initiate our new Dogs and Small Dogs positions (and several others across various portfolios).

Dogs of the Dow Portfolio Alert (INTC, JPM, AMGN)

Okay, it’s that time of year. We are going to close out a few of our Dogs and Small Dogs of the Dow positions today and early next week. Once that is complete, we simply wait until the first week of 2024 to initiate our new Dogs and Small Dogs positions (and several others across various portfolios).

But before I enter our new Dogs of the Dow trades, I intend on having a subscriber-only event that will go into great detail on the strategy used within the Fundamentals service and how we approach each individual portfolio.
