I think your a bit heavy on tech but I'm biased toward oil/energy.

Take a look at these

Southern Company - elctricity & nukes
ExxonMobil - integrated energy
Waste Management - garbage
Kinder Morgan - Pipelines (my fave)
Philip Morris International - Cigarettes

Full disclosure -I own shares of all my mentioned stocks.

Yes oil is good lately!

Some oil companies also sell off their future oil well profits in trusts like the following. I don't know how much the dividends will increase due to the higher oil prices? But the yields are pretty good lately. Read the details of each trust before investing of course.

It is my understanding, that in some cases at least, they are selling off their future oil well profits to get the cash now (to pay for the highly expensive exploration and drilling costs of finding new sources of oil).

Sabine Royalty Trust (SBR)
Whiting USA Trust (WHX)
MV Oil Trust (MVO)
Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (CRT)
Etc.

Also you can buy an Energy or Oil "ETF" (Exchange Traded Fund).

More on those here...
Exchange-traded fund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And search google.com for the words...

Oil ETF

or

Energy ETF

And again research the investment and read all the fine print before investing in anything.

Check out AK Steel (AKS).

Looking cheap at the moment, trading at $7.22. Pays a dividend with a yield of 2.77%. Wells Fargo gives it an outperform with a target of $9.50-10.50. You can hold this stock long because the dividend is better than you will get in a CD or savings account and just wait for the price to climb.
