INTC dividend increase




In a bit of a surprise, today, Intel announced that it is raising it's quarterly dividend from $.225 to $.24.

This represents a 6.6% raise and is the first raise since May 2012 when the quarterly dividend went from $.21 to $.225.

Sharebuilder DRIP Purchases- CVX, RDS.B, BBL, GE

Volatility has returned to the market and we are starting to enter 10% correction territory.

Here are my weekly buys that went through yesterday-

This weeks purchases 10/13 (Dow 16,315):
  • $300 of CVX at $112.07. Yield 3.82%.
  • $300 of BBL at $54.05. Yield 4.59%.

$1050 of new capital invested adding $45.40 to my annual dividend income.

Note: Chevron is now approaching 4%.  I have been a shareholder since the middle of 2010 and the highest initial yield I have seen was 3.94% back in July 2010.  It was trading at $73 and paying out $.72 quarterly.  I will continue to add at these levels and will be more aggressive at 4% ($107).  I would like to bring CVX to a full position.

This was my first addition to Shell this year.  I have a full position in Shell but will start adding more if it gets below $70.

On my radar for next week: CVX, BBL, MCD, V, ACN, AFL
