Have you ever considered buying Altria, ACAS, or ALD. They have pretty good dividends. I bought this stocks in my ROTH and signed up for the DRIP program. What do you think of Pfizer? I have been thinking of buying due to the fact that a lot of babyboomers will be retiring soon.
I am 58. I started looking to create income when I was handed my Dad’s proceeds from selling the home he lived in for 45 years. Half a million to invest. He had purchased his half million dollar home for 22,000 in 1958. I had some very memorable experiences from the dot.com era that made security a huge factor in my new investments, in addition to looking for income. I decided that a good investment for me/Dad would be returning 7 to 8% a year. Like the S&P average has over time.
Here’s how my money is making me more than 7% a year in income. Potential gains from market increases are not included.
Intelsat Bond 7.625%
PREMX Em Gwth Bond Fund 6.7%
WTLTX Westcore Inc Fund 6.9
APU Amerigas Partners 7.5%
CVP Centerplate 9.5%
HCP Health Care Properties 5.47
SFI IStar Financial 7.38
LYG Lloyds 6.24
RAS Rait Investment 8.59
XSS US Steel 9.43
Lloyds was 7 or 8 % when I bought it. Interesting how as price climbs the rate of return is less attractive. Not risk free but nothing I have to worry about. The market gains recently have been nice in addition to the income stream.
I am concentrating on Income. It’s been 3 years and doing well but a long way to go. I hope any one of these will help you get to your goal of 4%.

Out of curiousity, what total return would you consider good? That’s including dividends plus appreciation in the value of the stocks you own.
I ask because I’m wondering if you’ve run the numbers of stashing cash in a high-yield savings account (5%) and then investing non-dividend-yielding stocks which have the potential for more growth. The cash would be really secure and offset the extra risk in holdings stocks.
RE: EFT Guy
I do have a lot of cash in high-yield money market and bond funds in addition to several mutual funds, both mid and large cap. I also invest in a few speculative stocks as well in hopes of a big return. But overall, I would say I’m pretty conservative.
