General Comment .. I assume that most of the board participants are here because they are in general agreement that ownership of common stocks characterized by a long term history of increasing dividend payouts is a viable and desirable way to provide a secure and growing retirement income .. Having said that, there are several variables for consideration in achieving the goal .. Personally, I don't believe that there is "one" right approach as everyone has their own set of circumstances and objectives and that is why I enjoy frequenting this particular board .. Some participants invest via tax deferred vehicles Some participants invest via non tax sheltered accounts Some participants utilize fundamental analysis Some participants favor technical analysis Some participants utilize option sales for added income or hedging Some participants utilize ETFs for hedging or investing Some participants harvest capital gains along the way Some participants are compounding their dividends in additional shares Some participants are harvesting the dividends to pay living expenses Some participants are filling out their portfolio positions Some participants are managing fully funded portfolios Some participants invest in MLPs, ADRs and other non traditional vehicles Some participants invest in domestic equities exclusively Anyway .. IMHO it's all good !! Triff ..
