Over the last few days I've added to PSX, MCD, PM, MO, LEG and added new positions in WMT and TGT.
MSFT has my attention a little. In about 3 weeks (around 9/15) they should announce a dividend increase; at today's 2.91% yield another 15% raise would put the yield around 3.35%. I must admit I do not have much feel on tech stocks, and I generally shy away from them.
MCD should announce a dividend increase around the same time. A 10% increase would move the current yield to 3.56%.
PM should announce around 9/12, a 10% raise would put the yield at 4.46% at today's price. And of course MO is supposed to announce tomorrow 8/23, a 7% raise would put the yield at 5.63%.
I think MO and PM are especially good buys for the long term at current prices.
