November 25th 2011 Tracking Portfolio

I like to list stocks that qualify as "new" or "dividend" stocks for those of you that are interested.

For my most recent tracking portfolio, the following stocks qualify as dividend stocks:

Stock Initial Price End Price Yield
KLAC 42.08 43.30 2.9%
AMAT 10.16 10.25 3.1%
MSFT 24.30 24.84 3.3%
CMTL 29.28 29.50 3.5%
RTN 43.12 43.69 3.9%
HRB 14.41 15.18 4.2%
STRA 88.03 91.01 4.5%
CHKE 12.05 12.27 5.0%
DLX 19.79 21.37 5.1%
PETS 8.96 9.17 5.6%
PDLI 6.03 6.24 7.5%
USMO 13.07 13.47 7.7%
GNI 104.83 106.60 12.4%
NOC 53.42 55.13 15.6%

Then the following stocks are "new":

Stock Initial Price End Price
OSIR 4.13 4.30
NSU 5.10 5.52
NBIX 6.00 6.18
CJES 19.25 19.70


I have been active in my dividend portfolio of late. I have added three stocks, FCX, HPQ and STO. Then today I added shares to KMF and MNDO. KMF is interesting as it is trading at an 11% discount to it's NAV. That is much lower than it's average of -3.85%:

As of 11/28/2011

What criteria do you use to determine if a stock qualifies as "new" or "dividend" stock?

I commented on that in blog the previous day. A stock is new if it has not been in a mechanical tracking portfolio past 12 months. A stock is a dividend stock if yahoo yield is greater than 2.5%.
