You might try this interesting strategy, it's called "Dogs of the Dow". You purchase the top ten stocks in the DJIA's 30 stocks which have the highest dividend yields in equal weighted amounts. This type of strategy produces results based on the contrarian belief that if a higher dividend yield shows the stock is not in favor by investors, and is undervalued. Historically the 'dogs of the dow' have outpeformed the DJIA.
As of right now the list consists of Citigroup (C), Pfizer (PFE), AT&T (T), Du Pont (DD), Altria Grp (MO), Verizon (VZ), General Motors (GM), JP Morgan (JPM), General Electric (GE), and Home Depot (HD)
However, you would need to recalculate the dividend yields to make a list for 2008 since this list consists of the dogs for dec 2007.
