Thanks everyone for their replies to date - so a couple of things For myself, I transitioned to DGI investing for the most part when I finally realized I haven't got a clue what stock or bond or housing or car prices are going to be at any point in the future, but I do know what a company is willing to pay me in dividends and whether said company is likely to continue paying AND increasing them -- reliably -- through bulls, bears, corrections... whatever... I have transitioned to DGI investing as well over recent years - with a healthy mix of preferred stock investments to generate dividend income also I have decided that my wife's pension (very good) along with my SS (as good as I could hope for all things considered) are my "bond" like investments... regulated utilities I view as almost bond-like in their safety and yields (both quite stable for the best utilities)... I sleep very well at night... Neither my wife nor I will have a traditional pension - just a mix of 401k / 403b accounts. And we are both too young right now to draw SS. But i hear what you are saying on the SS side. And technically I could convert all or a portion of one of my 403b accounts at TIAA CREF into a traditional type pension payout thru an annuity type payout. While I have no concerns over their ability to meet future obligations, I have never been big on annuity's and would prefer to generate a similar type return on my own with those funds I do have a few regulated utility stocks - maybe I should look at a few more of them , particularly on the preferred stock side to see what type of income I could generate there
