This morning I bought 20 shares of AT&T @ $28.29 and 15 shares of Intel at $23.24. It's days like the last week where I wish I had more capital. The shares of T are giving me a 6% YOC and INTC are giving me 3.53%. I don't expect AT&T to give me much dividend growth but I figured I could use some quality and stable high YOC for the moment. I feel that Intel can continue to grow it's dividend in the high single to low double digits and that will just be gravy for a company as dominant in its own niche as Intel. And if they can somehow break in to the tablet industry the prospects are even better. These purchases raised my YOC for my portfolio to 2.99% from 2.72%. I want to get the YOC up but I've taken a flier on BAC. If the global and domestic financial system can get to some semblance of stability I think BAC will work out nicely. Obviously this is a 2-5 year wait and see approach for BAC but the potential gains I feel greatly outweigh the risks. Just a annual dividend for BAC of $0.40 gives me a YOC over 6%.

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...

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...

This is going in the Recent Buy section even though I didn't buy anything. I sold a put contract for Intel today expiring July 20, 2012. The strike price is for $25 and I sold it for $0.53 per share or $53. By selling this put contract I was able...

On December 14th I added to my positions in both Intel and Bank of America. I purchased 30 shares of INTC at $23.27 and 80 shares of BAC at $5.25. My YOC for the new INTC shares 3.57% and the BAC YOC is 0.75%. The purchases have brought my YOC for my...
