When QE1 started, I went into a REIT that was at that time yielding 16+ %, and have stayed in it up to today, and the yield is only 12.7 % <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; That makes a nice &quot;parking place&quot; for funds.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can mark the ex-dividend date on your calendar and make the decision to continue or leave. My cost for the REIT was lower than today, so the stock appreciation adds to it. If the interest rates goes up, I may have to leave it, but this is just one example that a person can sit around a dry hole, or find a different one. Moaning and groaning&nbsp; won&#039;t save your portfolio, education and utilizing all of the market&#039;s resources can in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
