With the
volatility in the
stock markets and financial sector, we feel as a company, that it is extremely important for
individuals to be more diversified in there investments now, then
at any other time in American history.
My observations have been: — I have experienced low
volatility similar to a balanced series of
stock and bonds — dividend income has grown between 6 - 8 % annually — not that much growth potential as most of the
individual stocks I own are mature companies — I sleep well
at night — none of these companies cut their distribution in 2008/2009 meltdown
