I am semi-retired. I had a career in computer programming and systems analysis for many years. Lately, I've been doing tax preparation during tax season and teaching a tax course in the Fall.
My investing interests are mainly with dividend/interest producing securities. I look for growth by reinvesting the dividends when the market takes a dip. I invest in a number of closed-end funds, as they seem to have the best yields. Dividend investing has its pro's and con's, but it keeps me in the game because even in a down market, I don't get too excited as long as I'm getting paid. :)
