And that said, you would have been much better off in 100% Pimco Total Return Fund over the last 10-15 years.
Your $500k investment portfolio would be worth, what $1.2 million? (less income used) instead of $500k (or less if you go back toward 15 years). I think most would rather become a millionaire.
Of course, no one should be in one asset class, even all bonds.

The headline is a misnomer. It should read why a retiree likes dividends. There is no asset allocation that is relevant to an investor in a wealth accumulation phase. Or to one who is in the last stages of wealth creation.

Mike you admit to doing very poorly over a period where many of us made very good money, because we had balanced portfolios with allocations to stocks, dividend stocks, reits, bonds long and short duration - low and higher risk, preferred shares, covered call etf's for more income, gold and silver and oil and gas trusts.
Again, the chances of you finding value before the pros is very very slim. No one knows where the markets or individual stocks are going at any time. If you want to make money, take away the guessing. Own non-correlated assets.

Ven, your straight forward enthusiasm and no excuses all in support for pm's is amazing. Just like Eric Sprott who has most of his wealth in pms stocks (along with other materials and oil and gas companies). As a Canadian, I've held his Sprott Canadian equity for some 15 years. It's the only mutual fund I would hold. Worth the very high fees. I think it has delivered near 20% average annual returns.
The guy sticks to his convictions and sleeps well.
Greece agrees to lay off 15,000 public-sector workers by the end of 2012, a government minister says, which would signal a concession after meetings between PM Papademos and Greece's political leaders over a reform program demanded by the country's creditors had been delayed for another day.

Of course we need government. We also need to pay a fair price for government and the services. That is not happening. Government is generally doubling in cost every 10 years in most developed nations.
At the root of it all is government waste and overspending.
Hey Geoffrey don't those two lines write a few books? The bond market is always much more reasonable and knowing than the casino known as the stock markets.

Demographics, yes. Government no. Likely very high risky when you are at the mercy of government regulations. There is that little point of the US being on the road to insolvency. Governments will get desperate at some point.
