Are High Dividends Sustainable?

Since I am older than dirt I have changed my investment attitude immensely. The preached wisdom is that seniors need to be very conservative and invest in "safe" low dividend stocks? Hogwash!!
Seniors need to have short term goals and change quickly with the market.

When I buy any stock I am investing (loaning) my money to the company. Am I to trust them to grow the company so I can get a return? In good economic times maybe! Of course that is after they give top managent their cut and squander what they can!

In these uncertain times show me the money. Cliff Watchel has it right and even Peter Schiff.
Pick 12 high dividend stocks with a good smattering of foreign dividend payers like from Canada to protect against the falling dollar and watch your basket of eggs like they were gold!

If 1 out of 12 has a problem you have 8.33% at risk easily covered by the other 11 divy stocks.

Give me a better idea in these uncertain times for oldsters?

Are High Dividends Sustainable?

Please don't lump REIT's (Uncle Sam) into your catch all methodology. As long (forseeable future) as the fed has to keep interest rates at near zero I will sock away the dividends. Go NLY, HTS, AGNC Go!!!!!!!!

Five Stocks Raising Dividends

I have held NLY for aout 1 1/2 yrs plus I have continuously sold monthly call options to increase the alreday great returns. I also hold HTS that maybe even a better REIT? but is not as good of an option play.

Seven Companies Profiting From Obama's 'New' New Deal

History shows us that generally in western democracies the right man is in the right place. Look at Winston Churchill - brought him back during WWII; where he did a great job and then discarded him after the war.
