Yesterday I sold another put option on Intel. I sold the $25 17 Aug 2012 put for $0.46. Less commission I received a total of $38.01 in premium for a total return of 1.52% which is annualized to 21.75%. I figured that since I want to add to my Intel position...

Position Closed - Intel Corporation (INTC)
Yep, Intel announced yet another quarterly dividend payment of $0.225 per share. That would be 8 straight payments of $0.225. For a position that had the promise of being a solid dividend growth investment, I’m very disappointed in this. I’ve been rather disappointed that Intel couldn’t even give a token increase of $0.01 at least once since the September 2012 payout. As a dividend growth investor that’s trying to reach financial independence through dividends, a dividends safety is priority 1A and its growth is priority 1B. Towards the end of 2013 I wasn’t completely fed up but I was getting there and wouldn’t have minded closing out my position. So I let Mr. Market make the decision for me and decided to sell call options on Intel until the shares were called away from me. I mentioned in my March dividend update post yesterday about a call option for Intel executing so let's go over the details.
