WisdomTree Dividend Top 100 Fund (ETF) (DTN)

CAPS Rating:
*****

Closed-end fund

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Dividend-paying stocks, like value stocks, have had a great run since the "growth crash" started in 2000. But any rally that goes too long becomes a bubble, and every bubble ends with a "pop." What makes it worse in this case is that (1) several dividend-seeking ETFs like this one have allowed inves...More

Jeremy Siegel is a better investor than me hands down. His book "Stocks for the long run" is simply amazing. If you haven't read it, your missing out.

...after you read it, you really should, you'll be happy to know that Mr. Siegel runs the WisdomTree series of ETF's... Clearly, these ETFs have had amazing results from there back testing. But more importantly, almost all these ETFs are relatively low risk as they involve companies commonly found in an index benchmark today, but they are weighted to different fundamentals. Even though they are the main indexes re-weighted, they have typically a lot lower volatility and Beta toward their respected benchmarks too. Usually yield, and higher yields are found in good companies that have lower prices (more specifically: low PEs) commonly known as value stocks. Value investing outperforms the market.

If I'm not mistaken, this ETF has an average annualized return of 13% per year (from like 1967 to 2006) while the comparable S&P is only 10.5% or so. While a 2.5% difference doesn't sound much, a 10k dollar investment held for 10 years would produce about 6k more dollars held on this WisdomTree ETF.

Baby Boomers will seek dividends over growth later in life as they will want income.

DTN weights stocks based on their dividend yield.

Typical indices weight on market cap alone, which means they buy more of the higher priced stocks, and less of the lower priced stocks. This is counter-productive for obvious reasons.

DTN puts more money into companies with higher yields, as opposed to companies with the highest market cap. Because of this, I see DTN outperforming the S&P over the long term.
