DG-Income Growth Model Change Due To HNZ Buyout
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway made a bid to buyout HNZ. As a result of the price run-up, and lower current yield because of it, this holding has been sold in the DG-Income Growth model and replaced with the next highest yielding stock on the buy list, Clorox (CLX). This model will be completely rebalanced next month.

Stop-Loss Sales In DG Models
In the last two weeks, Intel (INTC) and Diebold (DBD) triggered my -20% stop-loss rule (4 wks of underperforming the S&P by 20%). I had written about perhaps ignoring the stop-loss for INTC because it has such a low payout ratio, but since I haven't had time to do more research on this, the rule will remain in effect. The sales occurred on Oct 5th.
INTC sold, replaced by Maxim (MXIM) in the Income Growth and Dividend Aristocrats+ model portfolios.
DBD sold, replaced by Harris Corp (HRS) in the Small Cap DG portfolio.
INTC was retained in the high-yield, low-payout model because this model does ignore the stop-loss rule.
Disclosure: I am long INTC.
Riding Coach!
I've been looking to add some consumer discretionaries to my portfolio. When Coach (COH) dropped below $49 last week, I took the plunge. Not a bad move so far...14% up in a week. Hopefully the dividend keeps getting raised too.
Disclosure: I am long COH.
