Thanks, Dividend Watcher, for all of the great information.
I pulled the trigger yesterday afternoon and bought equal amounts of the following stocks:
Symbol Company Name
ABBV AbbVie Inc.
APPL Apple
BNS Bank of Nova Scotia
CBRL Cracker Barrel
CL Colgate-Palmolive
CMI Cummins Inc.
CVX Chevron Corp
DLR Digital Realty Trust
ED Consolidated Edison
EMR Emerson Electric
GE General Electric
GPC Genuine Parts
HCP HCP Inc.
JNJ Johnson & Johnson
KMB Kimberly-Clark
KMI Kinder Morgan Inc.
KO Coca-Cola Co.
MSFT Microsoft
OHI Omega HealthCare Investors Inc.
PEP PepsiCo
PFE Pfizer
PG Procter & Gamble
SO Southern Company
T AT&T
TGT Target
VTR Ventas, Inc.
VZ Verizon
WFC Wells Fargo
WMT Wal-Mart Stores
XOM Exxon Mobile
I added Apple, Bank of Nova Scotia, and Genuine Parts and I removed MO Altria (my wife decided she didn't want to invest in tobacco). I haven't actually purchased the 4 REITs yet. I am in the process of doing a Roth conversion and plan to put the REITS in the Roth. I was able to purchase WalMart after the drop in price yesterday although I understand that it may drop some more.
Now I need to figure out the best way to monitor my portfolio (probably quarterly) to make sure that all the companies are continuing to pay dividends and (hopefully) raise them a bit each year.
