A semi-quick check shows Prosper can take people from Florida but not Ohio.

I wanted to get my adult daughter started on this path, so I have set up an actual Dividend Growth Portfolio for her with a $100 a month contribution. I will make it public and discuss it in another separate thread.
Here's today's Stock Tip. Intel. A dividend growth stock beaten down to where it pays 4%. It hit $22.50 today.
An excellent buying opportunity.
I have debated buying INTC or a number of months now. For some reason I can just never pull the trigger. I just don't understand why INTC is priced where its priced at. Its a dividend grower in an industry that "should" see growth into the future, tech. It makes a product where the barriers of entry are very high and have even taken some market share in Apple products.
Right now it has a 4% yield and a P/E of 9.54 well below the market average. Its acting more as a utility than a tech stock or even a dividend paying stock. I agree that is is very attractive at this price, but I just don't understand why?
Because people think the PC is dead. And most of their money comes from there.

Intel said it is “seeing customers reducing inventory in the supply chain versus the normal growth in third-quarter inventory, softness in the enterprise PC market segment and slowing emerging market demand.” Intel shares are down 7% in 2012.

I was going to update this with a link about investing small amounts when getting started

But it really doesn't apply within a Roth which is where people should be investing.
Intel by the way has not gone up (yet). It's gone down. It's gone down as low as $19.23. It's back to $21.16. I have picked some up. It's a 4.3% yield at this point.
I still think it is a great long term buy.
OHI announced another increase today, from $.44 to $.45.
CLMT also increased recently from $.62 to $.65 and BGS from $.27 to $.29
Received a good number of special dividends in Dec. SCCO paid a $2.70/shr special dividend.
Bought CBRL, WU, CA, and added to CLMT recently.
Looking seriously at AFL, NSC, WPZ among others.

OK, for OHI. $20 additional income a year. We own some CLMT also.
We sold our CLMT to avoid the K-1 thing from here on out. Simple is better. OHI has done well. Besides raising the dividend, they had a nice earnings report and is up to $27.75
One of my favorite stocks.
Still hoping Lidspinner will take the plunge

My position right now is buying ZNGA, and selling the call.
ZNGA right now is at $3.20
The Jan 15 call, at $5 / share is at $.83
That means an immediate return of 25% on the stock with room for growth in the next 2 years of an extra 56%. With cash on hand of $1.67 / share, unless something goes seriously wrong the floor is $2.50 / share, and the ceiling is $5.83 / share... not a bad position for $3.20.
