  • Protected Principal Retirement Strategy: Retiring Without A Million-Dollar Nest Egg - Part II [View article]
    I am a little leery of bonds and preferreds here. I use CEFs for both.

    I believe that it is very difficult to get a handle on future inflation rates. If you consider government spending levels achieved by the present administration, coupled with printing money on a 24/7 basis, it is evident that at some point serious (or hyper) inflation is going to occur.

    It is not too difficult to envision an inflation rate that might make that of the Carter years look conservative.

    If you spend that much time I would bet we have many of the same positions.

    Don:

    Neither PWE nor PGH are MLPs.

    Don

    I generally stick with CEFs for bonds, preferreds, senior loans, floating rates and high yields.

    Would be interested in Multi Driver.

    Enjoyed the article Brad. Triple Net Lease is a good place to be.

    Certainly sounds as if you enjoy the research, and have done well.

  • Don't Buy An MLP Without Reading This [View article]
    SRV presently sells at a 29% premium to NAV. Would you pay $1.29 for a quart of milk that you could buy for $1.00?

    I enjoy doing the research - although it is clearly not for every one.

    Please do not classify me as an "expert". I look at investments as a second job.

    This is just a strategy that I use. Right now you can get an 8% yield from many MLPs that have increased quarterly distributions for many years.

    An individual with a $300 - $500K nest egg cannot do much with a 4% RMD.

    That's the idea - don't touch the principal until you absolutely have to.

    The next article will focus exclusively on MLPs. There will be plenty of information on individual stocks.
