Title: ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs?
Post by: dionysiandame on October 29, 2012, 09:14:12 AM

I just read about this ETF this morning on Seeking Alpha and, considering the opinion/points of the writer, SDOG looks to cover a wider range of the market then both the VYM and HDV.

Apparently, the ETF has only been around since July of this year, but I'm wondering if any Mustachians have invested in it; despite it not beating Vanguards' indexing cost.

Just doing a bit of research before I decide where to plant some dough.

Nope, because I've never seen evidence that "dogs" strategies work even before the often higher expenses.
