Buy: INTC

I have been patiently waiting for Intel to drop below $20 all month.

I could not pass up adding today as the stock opened up 3.5% lower on the retirement of the CEO.

Pulled the trigger on 200 shares at $19.63 for an initial yield of 4.58%.

Did I catch the bottom?  Most likely not. 

However, I am happy collecting a 4% plus yield on a premium blue chip that I believe will right the ship despite the fears of slowed growth in the PC market and lack of market share in the mobile chip market.

This latest Intel purchase will provide me an additional $180 in annual dividend income.

We have had a small correction since Obama was re-elected last week as attention has focused to the fiscal cliff and the realty of another 4 years of Obama.  With that said, some stocks are starting to look attractive again.  Among my favorites, McDonalds and Intel are both sitting at 52 week lows.  Intel is looking especially attractive sitting at $20.28 and a 4.4% yield.

Exelon (EXC) is also sitting at a 52 week low ($29.94..7% yield) and has been pummeled over the last week after the CEO announced a possible dividend cut sometime in 2013.  I believe it is oversold here and may average down.

Today's buys went through on another down day and was off 59 points to close at 12,756.

• $400 of MCD at $85.26. Yield 3.61%.

• $200 of PM at $85.25. Yield 3.99%.    

• $200 of MO at $31.53. Yield 5.58%.  

• $200 of KMI at $32.75. Yield 4.40%.

Total purchases of $1000 adding $42.40 to my annual dividend income.  

Obama wins again!
