I've started paying more attention than normal since my sisters' Ameriprise account should be at Ameritrade by the end of next week. Not quite mid six figures for me to put to work since the five private reits will stay with Ameriprise for now and amount to 60K. Being non affiliated or some such causes Ameritrade to charge $150 for year to hold them. Ameriprise will hold them for their $40 annual account fee. That in itself should be enough concern for everyone to stay away. Saw your mention of ERF on Pauls board. It showed up on a screen for me over the weekend. Interesting. Plan to put my sister in: 50% low yield, high, 9%+ dividend growth 25% mid yield, low dividend growth 25% high yield, quite possibly no dividend growth. At 58, she can use more income now that going for just dividend growth. I have a current list of 28 stocks I'm comfortable with. I would appreciate if you or anyone else wants to chime in with an idea for any of the three categories.
