My Dividend Portfolio as of 12/31/2010

.
My Dividend Portfolio:


Symbol Yield Current ShP Annual Income
PFE 4.57% $17.51 42.70
CIM 16.79% $4.11 31.15
NGG 6.31% $44.38 49.66
V 0.85% $70.38 3.35
HRB 5.04% $11.91 9.60
ANH 13.86% $7.00 7.76
HIMX 10.59% $2.36 8.25
PRGN 5.83% $3.43 2.00
SHMR 5.85% $13.75 8.04
LMT 4.29% $69.91 87.00
TOTAL 5.17% 249.51


This marks a 45.12% increase in my annual divided cash flow from my November 27th posting regarding my holdings.  This is due to a few reinvestments from stocks that I own and also a new addition of Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT), which I purchased Thursday, December 30th.  I have set many goals for this year, to which I will use my recent action on Thursday as one for the new year.  I set goals with my friend who is an auditor in Chicago, who was in town and we decided to really set goals and strategize on how to accomplish these.

My goals for 2011:
Invest $7,500.00 (minimum) into DRIP (Dividend Reinvesting) stocks (Update: I have done $2,000)
Maximize my Roth IRA contributions of $5,000.00 for year 2011
Create other Passive Income Streams (which one can see from my Passive Income Online blog)
Start Positions in Speculative/Micro Cap stocks
Accomplish my education and certification goals for 2011 (MBA-Finance graduating May 2011 and CPA exam August 2011)

With these goals, more specifically the investment goals, I hope to add to my dividend income stream.  I will continue to reinvest my dividends from my holdings, which will thus provide me more shares of that stock, thus increasing my dividends annually (all else held constant such as a stable dividend etc).

Disclosure: I do not recommend any particular company. I am therefore Long on all stocks above, but do not provide this chart as a recommendation of any sort. Do your due diligence and find what is suitable for you. Thank You : )

As the Market Crumbles...

.
Hey Everyone! As we have seen, the market has been stumbling, crumbling, falling, well - you know the rest. This is due to the European Bailout of Ireland and other talks across the world regarding different issues happening. What does that mean for an investor? Well - Bargains! This has been great for investors to pick up discounted stocks that produce even higher yields than before due to the decline. Who do I have my eyes on?

LMT: Lockheed Martin: Currently Trading at $68.20, it just boosted its dividend this quarter, and has done so for the last 10 years Plus! The dividend per share is at $3.00, giving it a 4.40% dividend yield. They are near their 52 week low and are actually a few dollars away from their 5year+ Low! Price to Earnings (P/E) is only 9.63 (I like something below 15 or the average of the S&P 500 Index) with an incredible earnings per share of $7.08. With a $3.00 dividend divided by a $7.08 earnings per share, this gives LMT a payout ratio of 42.4% (I like somewhere between a 40 an 60% range). This shows that they retain earnings for growth opportunities, but also love to give back to their shareholders. Lockheed Martin is in the aeronautics, defense, security sector, with its biggest competitor (according to Google Finance) being Boeing. Now why don't I talk about Boeing? I have nothing against them, but as a dividend investor, Lockheed provides a greater dividend yield and does have proof of incredible dividend growth over the longterm.

I will continue to keep my eye on Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) and also a few other companies such as Nokia (NOK) and Banco Santander (STD - Bank in Madrid Spain, has been hit hard due to the fact it is apart of the European Union countries, etc).

Disclosure: I do not make recommendations. This is simply full analysis of Companies. However, Lockheed Martin Corporation is priced right for me and I would consider placing a large investment into them, holding a Long Position. All information is from Google Finance as of 6:00 PM on 11/29/2010.  Thank you.
