Bargain. Dividend. Bargain dividends. What sweet, Foolish words. "[P]icking up a high-yielding stock at a bargain is akin to finding an oilfield in your backyard, making you rich for years to come," wrote Fool analyst Austin Smith in an article suggesting three stocks for your portfolio.

• Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ  ) is "a model of stable shareholder returns," and investors' reaction to recalls are out of sync with their effect on the company.
• "As the world's largest semiconductor company, [Intel (Nasdaq: INTC  ) ] has the money ... to continue delivering knock-out blows to the competition."
• With Philip Morris (NYSE: PM  ) , "you're buying future growth, and with a five-year PEG ratio of 1.13, it leads the industry in affordability."

"The holiday season is just getting started, but I'm willing to stand behind my assertion ... that it's not going to be a jubilant season for teen retailers," he wrote.

He brought along a mixed bag of news from the teen-oriented retail sector to flush out his thesis and highlights some stumbling blocks that he sees. Sean is concerned that rising material costs will eat into margins more quickly than the stores can raise prices and notes that discounts are "running rampant throughout the sector."
