You 'experts' are gonna choke on your numbers. Look, just buy a good stock, (fairly easy to check out on your 'puter), and keep it while it pays more than 10% dividend, and if the price falters keep it as long as you are not losing money net. Allow yourself a 5 - 10% loss before exiting and trying something else. If your profits are above 10%, let it ride. As your income drops below 10%, begin a defensive watch, or put in a stop loss.

In any event, don't let the price or dividend flutuations bother you. Forget listening to the constant doomsayers, and go with the fundamentals.

Remember your objectives of income, and dividends, and watch your minimum happiness level. Set it like a trigger, and the value of your purchase drops below your 'trigger level' then sell, until it does, HOLD. and that is that!

I am waiting for the election. I have sold out most items, keeping some token things thru thick and thin, like SIVR and SLV. Pared back my REIT holdings about 90%, still have 1300 CIM and short the E$ with DRR and EUO, The Euro dollar is in a distinct downtrend, and it is like watching grass grow, but looking at a long term chart, the E$ is dropping, getting lower highs and almost lower lows. Which I see as a floor that the people whose life revolves around the E$ being 'up', can keep it up, but with the economic situation worsening in Europe, and I perceive here also, although TPTB say we are recovering, [I don't believe it looking around at all the empty store fronts] that we also are hurting and the recovery is 'in name only'.
I still feel the REITs are the best place to be, but I am hoping, [while missing dividends] to get back in post election.

My picks in this order are, (if you are totally out or just beginning investing) to be in DRR, EUO, SLV, SIVR, AGNC, NLY, FAZ(if Obama wins) and long equities if Romney wins))
Whomever wins, be in PM's [precious metals] Ag first, then Au, then Pd then Pt. I may like Pd 2nd.

I am very close to suggesting VERY strongly a big position in PM's
