On December 1, 2008 I assembled a portfolio based upon a dividend yield and a mix of potentially independent stocks. I included the following:
| Company | Share Price |
| Verizon | $31.61 |
| DOW | $18.13 |
| IBM | $77.60 |
| J&J | $55.73 |
| Kraft | $25.60 |
| DuPont | $22.53 |
| Alcoa | $9.46 |
Then I have been watching it as the market has bumped along. Dow has taken hist but IBM did well. I am a strong believer in Verizon but it is going nowhere. The Dividend from this pool based on December 1 2008 prices is 5.6%. So as long as it does not go down much I am doing well. So far it is a good package. Will keep you all updated.
