Intel

I hate to say it but, "I told you so".  The market is finally starting to value Intel's stock (INTC) more properly. The shares have moved a few dollars higher this month.  I am in this one for the long haul, like forever, unless things change for them for the worse.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Season Greetings

Happy Holidays to all!

Intel Update

I feel this stock is an even stronger buy.  They are almost at the point of their earnings "bottoming out".  Tracktion  with Smart phone and Tablet chips is just starting to pay off.  Also they have gotten away from the distraction of Internet TV by selling it to Verizon.  Two years from now you will be kicking yourself for not buying this stock!  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel

Alright Intel (INTC) is on the move.  I have been saying yo buy it since $20.50 a share.  In the mean time getting paid 3.75% to wait for the market to fully value it.  Plus with Dividend reinvestment will be paid off even more once the stock goes towards $40.  It's not too late to get in on this one for the short and long haul.  I'm buying more on dips.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel (INTC)

Intel has once again gone on sale.  I take this as a great buying opportunity for the long term investor.  Your patience will be rewarded. A few years from now when this is a $40 stock you will be really happy.  In the mean time bank the 4% dividend.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Great Stock Market

Market is at all times highs once again.  Even at these prices stocks don't look over valued to me on an historical basis.  I still love Intel (INTC) and Brinker International (EAT).  Neither looks even close to over valued at these prices.  Buy more of both for the short and long haul.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Wendys (WEN) Update

Wow Wendy's stock had a big 12% correction Thursday based on decent earnings but with a revenue shortfall.  I thought the correction was over kill so picked up more shares Friday at the open.  I was rewarded with half the correction coming back in the price on Friday.  Love this one for the long haul.  They have really cleaned up their act.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel (INTC)

Intel is starting to move higher.  If you notice news about their design wins in Phones and Tablets is coming out in drips and drabs.  Just wait until this Christmas season's news comes out.  This stock is due for a short term pop, plus love the long term (Over the next 3 years too).  Good luck investing.  Tony

Brinker Update (EAT)

A good earnings report from Brinker is enough for a nice pop in the Stock.  In September they raised their dividend 20%!  In a bad environment for Restaurant stocks they are gaining market share.  I love this well run company for the short and long haul.  Announced a continuation of their share buyback program which will help raise their earnings per share too.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel Update

Intel (INTC) had another good week.  Their earnings came in ok but their guidance for the 4th quarter got lowered.  The stock itself took the news in stride pushing up to almost $24 a share with a 4% yield.  Looks like the 1st quarter of 2014 will see the big push into smart phones and tables.  They have won 10 contracts to supply chips in products that will be on sale before Thanksgiving.  This should give us a good idea of how much traction they can gain in the lower margin business.  Time will tell, in the mean time we can collect the 4% dividend to tie us over.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Brinker (EAT)

I'm loving this company more and more.  Just from my own local experience in Northern New Jersey I can see their locations are always packed!  The food is always consistentlyy good and the service is top nonce.  We especially like their Maggaoins location in the Riverside Square Mall in Hackensack.  While this is only anecdotal evidence of how well the company is run It's still encouraging.  As Peter Lynch always says, "Invest in what you know."  On the stock side I look for $60 a share within the next 2 years.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Brinker Update

They just raised their Dividend 10% starting this quarter.  Good earnings and a rising Dividend, what is there not to like.  Buy this one and put it away for the long haul.  Good luck investing. Tony

P.S. - Symbol is "EAT".

Intel Update

My research on Intel (INTC) lately is making me even more bullish.  They will dominate in the Mobile/Tablet space in the future.  Margins will be less but they will make it up on volume.  Sure they were late to the game but now their research money is firing at these cheaper chips full time.  I look for $30 a share within 6 months and $40 within 18 months.  Remember too that they are paying close to 4% dividend right now and it's due to get raised.  Time to double up on this one!  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel

Intel (INTC) Finally some analysts are jumping on the bandwagon about this company too.  After a rating raise the stock was up over 3% yesterday.  $30 price target within a year, yeah that sounds about right.  Collect the 4% dividend, that is due to be raised, in the meantime.  Buy this for the short and log term.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel Buy Time

Ok I believe Intel (INTC) has corrected enough to signal a short term buy.  Otherwise it's a great time to get in for the long haul.  $40 a share within 2 years is very attainable for this company!  Collect the 4% dividend while waiting for it to pop.  Plus they are due for another Dividend increase soon.  I like it big time.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Stock Sale

If the market corrects a little more this week it will be really sweet.  Stocks are on sale and I like it.  Look for 5% more downswing to be the signal to get into many nice solid Dividend paying companies.  Actually Intel (INTC) is already cheap enough to buy into at the open tomorrow.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Correction week

I like it, the market was slightly down this week.  Another week of stocks going down and I will let to get in on some more good quality Dividend earners.  Intel (INTC) was down this week as well.  If it falls below $22 I will double up my position.  Can't get a finer quality company sporting a 4% dividend anywhere today.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Brinker International

One of my picks Brinker International (EAT) just released great earnings. Don't believe I have wrote about them in this Blog before, but should have.  Think the rally in this one has just started.  Solid company with 2 main concepts, Chill's Bar n Grill and Maggainos.  They smartly shed their troubled restaurants to focus on their main profitable ones.   Nice dividend and should see a lot of growth now that the job market has turned around on the US.  Strong buy for the short and long haul.   Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables.  Tony

New Stock Pick

Got a new pick for my readers today.  Cheesecake Factory (CAKE),  they have less than 200 locations in the U.S. so a lot of room for growth.  Thing I like is the stock took a big hit this week on worse than expected earnings. Solid quality company on sale, perfect time to establish a new position in it.  Dividend is low at around 1.5% but should grow in the next few years.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Disclosure

I want to do a full disclosure post today.   “I put my money where my mouth is.”  Many of the stocks I have written about I personally own shares in.  For example I have long positions in McDonalds (MCD), Wendys (WEN), Starbucks (SBUX), and Intel (INTC).  Obviously I believe in these companies and have invested accordingly.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel

Intel (INTC) had a bad week for sure.  The market went to new highs this week and yet it was down.  Bad news about PC shipments was the main reason for the correction in the share price.  Thing is this was old news, everyone knew PC sales would be down.  Let's look forward to the future.  Intel will be huge in selling their chips to be used in Smart phones and Tablets.  Once they make these inroads the shares will soar!  Sit back and collect the current 3.8% dividend until this happens.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel (INTC)

I've got one investment only for today.  Intel!  Buy it now, long term you will be handsomely rewarded.  Good luck investing.  Tony

What Did I tell You?

Hate saying I told you so but this week is proof.  Last week end I thought the long waited correction was almost over.  Market fell on Monday and then was up over 100 points every day.  I am not a short term trader, in for the long haul.  It just felt right to get in on some good stocks that were on sale last week end.  Remember to but those great dividend payers on the next dip.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Correction Over?

I believe the long needed correction is almost over in the Stock Market.  There are many stocks on sale to me had for cheap prices  now.  Pick up that dividend payer you have been waiting for, I am.  Ever correction is a buying opportunity for the long term patient investor.  Just a little investing philosophy for a Saturday. Good luck investing.  Tony

Correction

Wow that long needed Stock Market correction is finally here.  It makes sense being rates on the 10yr US bond have backed up to over 2.4%.  Once the market finds a constant point for the 10yr yield I think the correction will be over.  Actually tomorrow we may see a nice pop being short term the market looks over sold.  Intel (INTC) is on sale now.  Also Wendys (WEN) is getting attractive once again.  A few more percent down on Wendys and I'm jumping back in.  Good luck investing. Tony

Intel

I've said it before and I'll say it again Intel (INTC) is a monster buy right now!  The market corrected this week and Intel hardly went down.  It's still in a tight trading range of $24.50-$25 a share.  A positive divergence is a great thing to see in a stock.  I am going to double up my position on a small pullback, even 2% is enough for me to buy more.  Buy and hold this one for the long haul, you won't be sorry.  Plus this year's dividend increase will be close to 20%, IMHO. Good luck investing.  Tony

Stock Market Correction

The market finally had 3 down days in a row.  Its about time it corrects somewhat.  Fear not some quality dividend paying stocks are now on sale! I love these dips to increase positions in long term holdings. Buy I say. Good luck investing. Tony

Intel Once Again

This Blog is turning into the Intel fan club Blog. I'm liking the stock more and more.  Positive Barrons article this weekend is driving the stock up today.  IMHO INTC is still a buy.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel

Down day in the market and yet intel (INTC) is up again. I love positive divergences in a stock.  I am even more bullish on this company. Tony

Intel Update

I'm reading more and more good things about Intel (INTC).  Stock is still super cheap on fundamentals.  I am doubling up my position on the next dip of 5%.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel

Yet more bragging about what a great pick Intel (INTC) was/is by me.  I am buying more and will ride it up to at least $30 a share in the next 12 months.  Meanwhile bank the Dividends every quarter.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel Update

Got to love it, Intel (INTC).  Bad down day in the market yet it goes up.  I can't wait until all the Analysts and the public jumps back into this one.  Also when the short covering starts we should get a nice pop.  Look for another 15% jump in the Dividend this year too.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel

I hope some of my readers have profited from this pick, Intel (INTC).  It has a ton of upside in it so ride it higher.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Correction

Looks like an actual correction has started.  Notice Intel (INTC) is up in a down market.  I am picking up even more of their shares.  This stock is a bargain and colleectin the current 4.2% dividend is a gift.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel

Intel was up today in a falling market.  I love this one at these levels, plus the 4.3% dividend yield is a bonus while we wait for $40 a share.  I would think this will be a double within 2 years.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Correction

Where is that healthy correction we need?  I am long so can't complain.  Just don't want to see a bubble.  Good luck investing.

Market Correction

Finally a small market correction this week.  I want to see a 5-7% correction to get this back on track.  Then it will be buying time once again.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel (INTC)

Intel has started to move higher this week.  I am picking up some more shares.  This stock will explode in the next 2 years.  The business PC replacement cycle is way past due.   That and there push into Smart phones chips will fuel growth.  Collect the now 4.2% dividend and wait for them to raise it.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Intel (INTC)

Intel is my last stock pick.  They are getting into the smart phone chip market, in a big way.  Totally dominant position in chips for desktops and servers.  Maturing company with a raising large dividend, 4.3%.  I am buying at these low levels.  We could see a double in the next 2 years while we collect the fat dividend.  Good luck investing.   Tony

BLOG Comments

What no comments about what a great pick Wendys (WEN) was by me?  I have been posting buy since around the $4.20 range.  Look back at my old posts and see what I wrote.  Still like the turnaround story long term.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Wendys (WEN)

I traded most of my Wendys stock.  No one ever goes broke taking profits.  I still believe in the company but felt the stock had gone too far to fast.  Any price under $5.30 and I jumping back in.  Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables.  Tony

Wendys Stock Breakout

This week is finally happened.  Wendy's Stock (WEN) broke out of it's trading range.  Looks like $6.50 should be coming within the year.  You heard about this stock  on this blog long before anywhere else.  I like to take credit when I'm right.  Doesn't always happen that often, LOL.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Wendys (WEN)

Did you all listen to my advise about this stock?  Finally it has started to break out of it's trading range.  It's not too late to get in for a short term pop or  long term hold.  Don't forget about the 3.1% yield on the dividend. Good luck investing. Tony

Ebook Update

I'm almost done editing my Ebook "Trouble in Atlantic City".  Close to finished with the page breaks and general formatting.   Started writing it 2 years ago, who knew it was so much work involved in writing a story!  Plan on having it on sale on Amazon and Barnes & Noble;  within a few weeks.  I will be selling it for $6.99, well worth the price for all the work  put into it.  Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables.  Tony

P.S. - Back to Investing Posts starting tomorrow!

Snow!

Damn we got a lot of snow!

Fast Food Stocks

My 2 favorite fast food stocks are doing great so far this year!  McDonalds (MCD) and Wendys (WEN).   It's not too late to get into either of them currently.  Plus both pay over 3% dividend so you get paid well to wait for the price run up.  Wends turnaround is proceeding nicely.  McDonalds has gone through their correction phase on the way up to new highs.  Buy both stocks and reap the benefits.   Look through my BLOG to see I have been recommending them both for some time!  Good luck investing.  Tony

Wendys Review (WEN)

Finally some progress on this one.  My average cost per share is $4.50 so doing well in this stock now.  Plus have bought more shares via dividend reinvestment for the 2 years have owned it.  The turnaround has only begun so it's not too late to get in now.  I am buying on dips and at every dividend payout.  Join me and make some coin.  Good luck investing.  Tony

Wendys (wen)

This Stock is finally performing well.  Its about time our patience is being rewarded.  Plus we are collecting the new3.5% dividend.  I love the story and still look for $6 a share this year. Good luck investing. Tony

2013 Stock Market

Market started the year off right.  Over 3% for the Nasdaq. Hope the trend continues. Good luck investing.  Tony

New Year

I am hoping this is a better year than 2012!   Happy New Year to everyone!  Tony
