On this date in 1620, the (Plymouth) Council for New England was chartered by the king of England as a joint stock company with monopoly rights on (found here):
“…all the Breadth aforesaid throughout the Maine Land, from Sea to Sea [emphasis ours], with all the Seas, Rivers, Islands, Creekes, Inletts, Ports, and Havens, within the Degrees…”
The profits should be derived from (found here):
“…the Firme Lands, Soyles, Grounds Havens, Ports, Rivers, Waters, Fishings, Mines, and Mineralls, as well Royall Mines of Gold and Silver, as other Mine and Mineralls, precious Stones, Quarries, and all, and singular other Comodities, Jurisdictions, Royalties, Priveliges, Franchises, and Preheminences…”
The payments of those profits should be paid to (found here):
“…Us [England’s Royalty], our Heires, our Successors, the fifth [20%] Part, of the Ores of Gold and Silver, which from time to time, and aft all times hereafter, shall happen to be found, gotten, had, and obtained, in or within any the said Lands, Limitts, Territoryes, and Precincts, or in or within any Part or Parcell thereof, for, or in Respect of all, and all Manner of Dutys, Demands, and Services whatsoever, to be done, made, or paid to Us, our Heires, and Successors.…”
By 1635, the charter for the Council of New England was revoked. However, within the time of the Council for New England’s existence, which later folded into the Massachusetts Bay Company and other corporate entities, the wheels of a new nation were put into motion.
Review last year’s list, we see that closest to the low was the best strategy which lost only 0.6%. The market, however, gained 6.6% since last year. Purchasing companies with low P/E or high dividend yield, a classic value approach, did not work out well.

| Strategy | High | Low |
| Yield | -45.7% | -10.8% |
| P/E | -7.4% | -49.6% |
| Payout Ratio | -25.6% | -26.7% |
| P/B | -1.2% | -29.7% |

Majority of the gained came from Clorox (CLX) gained 40.9% and CH Robinson (CHRW) gained 18.4%.

On this date, in his letter to shareholder, Robert L. Rodriguez said the following:
"We believe the past six months is nothing more than consolidation after a period of superior performance. The overall market exhibits these same tendencies. Large capitalization stocks have outperformed smaller capitalization stocks. This is the reverse of 1991.
“With the cross currents of both a sluggish economic recovery and a national election, investors appear to be confused as to what market capitalization segment to focus on. We believe the trend towards investing in smaller capitalization stocks has experienced only a pause rather than a reversal.
“The recent severe underperformance by several ‘blue chip’ companies and the re-emergence of interest in small capitalization stock managers by pension funds convince us that the trend towards smaller stock investing is still intact. As capital is redeployed from larger stocks to smaller stocks, it will have an exponential impact."

In November 2019, Morningstar.com published their DividendInvestor which contains their Income Bellwether Watchlist. Below is the performance of the stocks based on the top highest and lowest dividend yield from October 9, 2019 to October 9, 2020.
As the data continues to demonstrate, low yield generally outperforms high yield. This has been resoundingly shown in our Dogs of the Dow in the period from 1996 to 2019.

We begin with a look back at last year’s list. The S&P 500 rose 18.3% and the Industrial rose 7.9%. Purchasing the top 5 companies closest to the low would result in a loss of 60.1% while the best strategy was to purchase top 5 companies with highest P/B ratio. One theme is clear from our data, the typical value metrics didn’t work well.

| Strategy | High | Low |
| Yield | -58.2% | -7.3% |
| P/E | 6.1% | -60.1% |

| P/B | 18.4% | -20.1% |

Under the high P/B, 2 best performers were Eli Lilly (LLY) & Clorox (CLX). Hindsight is 20/20 but wouldn’t we all want to own Clorox knowing a pandemic was on the horizon?
