Dogs of the Dow

The basic strategy is to buy the highest yielding Dow 30 stocks at the end of the year. Lets see how they are doing so far this year. With interest rates ticking higher, I would expect that these haven't done so well. Some are higher, some are lower. The only one I have traded is GM.
