Your first 3 funds contain a lot of the same stocks. Can you invest in single stocks or just mutual funds? If you can invest in single stocks, buy dividend paying stocks (T, VZ,MO JNJ,MAIN,XOM, CVX, COP). Buy and reap the dividends. Just an idea....

I also was at the soft opening, and Chef Jeremy Langlois has created a menu that is imaginative and one that I believe everyone will enjoy sampling. Some of my favorites were the Corned Beef & Cabbage soup, the Zapp's Potato Chip Crusted Grouper, and the River Road Sliders. It's a little more casual...

One of the best restuarants in the area. Perfect for Valentine's Day. Start with a drink in the Turtle Bar.Everything there is great, but I really like that rack of lamb, the duck and the lobster dishes. The Banana Split Foster is a great dessert. Your date will truly be impressed with the food and ...

They pay around 15%. I'm semi-retired and look for stocks that pay above average dividends, since I use that as ...

Posted by BigD329 on 8/28/11 at 11:45 am
I've been invested in REIT's for the past two years and done pretty good. Yet several "financial advisors" always say stay clear of them. A stock that returns 14-19% dividend and price that doesn't fluctuate that much doesn't seem that risky to me. Any thoughts on the subject?...

Went to the banquet Thursday honoring John Folse. Very nice. The food was great. The community coffe marinated lamb by Chef Jeremy Langlois of Latil's at Houmas House was the best course of the night I thought. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:...
