It's all good, Steve.... My 2¢ is we have a good balance... when we do have something to say about the DGI stocks, it does not go unnoticed and in between, we see some posts about CEFs, options, preferred stocks... you name it, but it doesn't consume the board...
I, for one, would not have done the homework to figure out CEFs if not for posts here and now I own a small basket of them... ditto preferred shares (I still have LTS/A, one that you first mentioned here)...
CE,HRS,SNX are good DGI stocks... for people with a longer time horizon than most here.
You and some others manage PFs for people of all ages and financial situations, so you take all of that into consideration, from what I can tell -- perhaps lower yielding and higher growing are more appropriate for 20-30 yr olds... someone around 60-70 might want higher income now vs. divvy growth...
It's all good... I don't think anyone's gone way out of bounds for long...
I also view this board as a support group since. As my wife used to object, but no longer now that she's tasted DGI -- anyway she questioned why we weren't investing like everyone else who are constantly trading in and out looking for the next AAPL or GOOG, etc. and selling low-or-no yielding stocks to generate income.
We have been fortunate and DGI works as a core strategy for us -- we ended last week still just off ATHs for our PFs while the broad markets had their worst week in many moons...
Look at any of the UTEs we ever mention around here -- look what they did Friday... big moves up for the entire sector and since that's the absolute core of our cores, I no longer hear my wife ask me why we have so many regional utes... people think they are boring? Well, I'll let them bore me all the way to the bank in retirement. |
