Portfolio - "Update"

I recently sold all my Intel (INTC) stock. It had gone up a lot and I  could take the gain as long term. Plus, Intel hadn't increased its dividend in over a year, so it violated one of my rules. I plan to hold most of the proceeds until the market provides a better buying opportunity. I did add more to my Mattel (MAT) and Kellogg (K) positions.

My portfolio, in order of largest holding to least....

WAG (Walgreen)
PEP (Pepsi)
MAT (Mattel)
PG (Procter & Gamble)
GPC (Genuine Parts)
MMM (3M)
KO (Coca Cola)
HAS (Hasbro)
ADP (Automatic Data Processing)
KMB (Kimberly Clark)
T (AT&T)
VZ (Verizon)
K (Kellogg)
SYY (Sysco)
DPS (Dr. Pepper, Snapple)
6% GNMA (Government National Mortgage Association) Bonds

Stocks make up abt 23% of my assets.  Other assets are CDs, a home mortgage and about 2% precious metals..
