Dividend Achiever Watch List

The market put on a bull horn and marched passed 10,000 but settled below that mark at the end of the week. The Dow gained 130 points (1.3%) this week.

We're mid way through October and if you recall the same time last year, this marked the beginning of the market freefall. As a result, many companies with their low mark have been pushed up by the moving 52-week range. At the end of the week, my watchlist expanded to 11 companies compared to 9 from the previous week. Here are the companies on my watch list as of October 16, 2009.
