Dividend Paying Stocks

I know there are obligations, long, short term etc.. dividend paying stocks, convertibles,
preferred shares and real estate investment trust. suggestions
and help assess, thank you y / a people.

solid dividend payers that have a chance of rising prices as well:
KO coke 2.9%
ABM ABM Industries 2.65% (they manage the parking garages, the largest of its kind)
MO Altria 5.00%
FE first energy 2.9%
AT & TT 3.6%
GE Gen Elec 3.0%

I have deliberately left our financial and healthcare stocks since I'm not sure they are great investments right now but there are good dividend payers, too.

Historically, utilities have always been a good investment for "widows and orphans." However, in recent years (say like the last 2 decades) services industry has also increased deregulation and they are not as "safe" as they used to be. (Think Enron here.)

On the other hand, they still have some regulations for them, public utility commissions. And I do not know how we can possibly do without electricity, water or heat from natural gas.

I would say a diversified portfolio of strong public service, mainly in the field of electricity. Buy 10 different actions that pay 5% dividends and hold it for a long period. Most of these stocks are also increasing their dividends by a few cents per share each year ... then they tend to follow inflation. And, as higher dividends, and stock prices.

A good solution would be to buy a low-risk private mortgages. You can buy the ticket at a discount yield 10 to 15% which is paid monthly and Britain will provide income and capital repayment. Stocks, while being more liquid, on average, will not return the same returns historically. The key is to invest more than 50% of the value of the property today. This will limit your exposure in case of default rating and you must seize to recover your investment. It is unlikely that property values would fall further 50% over today's levels. I bought a few notes of buyers Mortgage, Inc. and have been very satisfied with the marks they found for me. It also gives you a resource in the company if you have any questions in the future. http://www.mortgagebuyers1.com. Hopefully it works as well for you as it has for me.

Any unified theory of Financial
Revealed in Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel
By Scott Adams

1. Making a will
2. Pay off your credit cards
3. Get a term life insurance if you have a family to feed
4. Fund your 401k up
5. Fund your IRA to the maximum
6. Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford
7. Put six months expenses in a money market account
8. Take all the money left over and invest 70% in an index fund of stocks and 30% in a bond fund through any broker and never touch it until retirement
9. If all this confuses you, or if you have something special going on (the issues of tax planning Retirement College,,), hire a financial planner based on law, not one who charges a percentage of your portfolio

Check the bottom line: a portfolio with an asset allocation of 70% in Vanguard Total Stock Market Index (VTSMX) is doing well, the scene remarkably similar to the S & P 500 Index. In addition, the portfolio of simple two-fund is ideal for the vast majority of America's 95 million investors.

Dilbert simple two-fund portfolio compares favorably with our other lazy portfolios.
