You're not to far off the mark on some points.
On the other hand, ....why haven't you traded in and out of Divi-Dog a few times by now? I've been in and out 2 times!!! But still holding a core position from 18-20. Look at Divi...you get the chip biz for free in the teens. Short BRCM instead....much more fun...see XLNX for hint.

I sold my last bit of INTC at 82+ and kicking back, but all this stuff is just corrective activity so far....bear not out yet.

Chip biz in general could get really ugly for some this summer......take your swings.

Rarebird,

Very nice analysis of MO and some tech stocks. Thank you for the time in doing so.

Notwithstanding the social stigma and the litigation threats, I recently added MO to my accounts because of the reasons you cited. I do think that a slowing or correcting market favors undervalued dividend plays.

Does anyone here have any thoughts on any such dividend plays other than MO (and outside of the tobacco sector for diversification)?
