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
