Stock best answer:

Answer by musicblue99
To be safe in investing, its good to go for dividends. At this time REITs offer a good buy because they sold off recently when there was an intererst rate (going up) scare. The ones i am invested in are Developers Diversified Realty (yield ~4%) and Northfield Realty (yield 11%) By law they have to pay out 90% of their income to the shareholders. Reinvest the dividends and your account will grow nicely.

Put some high percentage in high dividend investments and the rest can go into growth stocks like Alternative Energy. Its best to use a mutual fund for this like GAAEX. Look it up.

good luck

Knitty's Very Tall Socks. It only took a week! Hopefully, the second will go as quickly.
