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
