Hi Brian -

Of your stocks, I own INTC, ETP & F.

INTC is a 1.02% portfolio position. I consider this one of my best technology "vaule" buys when I can acquire shares at/or below $20.00/share. I noticed it is getting near my initial sell target of $29.00/share. What's your take and do you have an expected "fair value" target. My cost basis is $19.85/share w/ buys in 2006, 2009 and 2012. You can see I have held some shares for almost 8 years as this is/was a good company to get exposure to the technology sector at a reasonable price.

If I sell any shares it will probably be 50% of my holding but I would like to target those proceeds to one or more other value technology companies. A dividend would be nice but not a deal braker. I always liked Google's technology but the price of their shares is/was always way outside my value range.

I also hold a 1.13% portfolio position in ETP w/ my original buy in 9/2012. I had the dividends reinvested which now account for 15% of the total value. I have no plans on selling and would like to add to my position at $54.00/share or lower. The annual distribution is 6.6% and their growth rate is estimated at 4.5% reflecting a total " Yield to CAGR" value of 11.1%. ETP's " Yield to Coverage" is good at 1.1x. It could be considered a buy at the current level as the distribution + estimated growth is >= 10%.

I bought my shares of F in 12/2005 at an avg price of $8.09/share and have a sell target of around $19.50/share. It has grown to a 0.67% portfolio position. I have never added to it and of all the autos, I like F because of their position in the pickup truck business. It's the only auto company I own and would consider DE and/or CAT as potential adds in the large truck and machinery sector (vs auto).

FWIW, I have had CSCO on my high tech list but even at $16.00/share I could not pull the "value" trigger. I also been watching AMAT but they never met my value target either.
