Default Recent Buys
I recently bought JM Smuckers, SJM it is yielding 3.74. Has a history of raising dividends for over 50 years Seemed like a good play. not much risk, good yield.

i bought AFLAC, AFL is yielding 8.22. Love the yield not much down side as I paid less than 15. Plenty of cash so I think the dividend is safe for this year. Good company beat down by big insurance and banks.

I have been watching but have not pulled the trigger on GE. Seems like a great buy at under 10. Closed today at 8.47 and is yielding 14.6 after cutting the dividend. Traded as low as 5.75 last week. Great Company beat down by GE Credit. I think I will gamble on 1000 shares soon.

What are you thinking?
