Intel Ups Dividend

The semiconductors are getting hit on concerns about slowing consumer spending and less demand for electronic gadgets.

However, I think long-term investors can find plenty of nice dividend-paying tech stocks amid this cyclical weakness in the semis.

Just look at what happened today -- Intel (INTC) announced a 13% hike in its dividend. And plenty of other firms from Microchip (MCHP) to Linear Technology (LLTC) are rewarding shareholders with nice payouts.

So take a look at some four-letter ticker symbols for dividends, dude. You might be surprised by what you find!
