Just received a dividend on MFA Financial INC. (MFA) REIT. I get .20 every 3 months, plus the stock keeps going to a higher price. Averaged at $7.21, means I bought at dips. Comes to about 11% annually. I never and never did try to force my investments to anyone. If you read some of my messages...

Well, I'm giving my opinion on investing, don't expect big fancy words. I just have a HS diploma. Right now I'm drinking my first morning cup of coffee with one eye open and the other one still closed. So expect some mistakes and please forgive me. For new investors, I recommend you invest in...

The online bank I use TD Bank and in the near future we will also plan on using Ally Bank online. I know that we all have different needs. So it might be better if we make our own decisions.  I provided different banks where you can compare what your needs are. Just click on the logos on top of...

I received a message from TD Ameritrade, announcing $0.00 commissions on online stock, ETF and Option trades for all new and existing clients, starting on Thursday, Oct. 3...…………………...

Interesting! I might learn something here. Kind of, like going to the ATM machine and with drawing money. lol...….

We're all entitled to our own opinion, ain't that nice. I been trading the markets for many years. What I'm fixing to show might be a little bragging to some. Back in early 2018, we were in a long bull market. The charts showed that the volume was gaining grounds. I never follow the crowd, when...

This for the new investors. There's probably more swing traders here than long term investors. Say this stock would take a dip, That does not mean you should sell and take a loss. GILD (ticker symbol) looks good when it comes to dividends. It's been paying quarter dividends since 2015. Starting...

GILD  x-dividend  =  9/12/2019 pay date   = 9/27/19 If you buy after x-dividend, you won't receive a dividend. Best to buy 60 days prior., to save on taxes.  Excluding IRAs

If you're planning on hitting west from Texas, you'll probably be taking IH 10. If so, I have a small spread about 30 miles south of IH 10 off 77. Your welcome to stay there for a few day and all the water you want. It's cold well water. In my area we haven't hit 100 deg. yet. LOL...……...

Being that I'm retired, I got hooked on dividend stocks. Don't have to do much with these stocks, only keep an eye on earning reports. Best time to buy is during a correction or not so good earning report, because you'll have higher dividend stocks. I bot MFA at 7.21 with .20 per quarter, comes...

I been retired about three years and my wife will be retiring end of this year. I will make the RTR next year if everything goes as planned. Our  income will be our SS and what ever I make in the stock market. I probably won't be trading the markets as much, because I want to enjoy  traveling...

ckelly, do you have the ticker symbol on that fund?

The correction back in 2009 took nearly 5 years to break even. Now if you added monthly to your 401K or IRA and never watched the market, you'd be standing pretty good. The S&P500 bottomed 3/2/2009 to 57.56. The most recent high 10/3/2018 were 290.03. That's over 400%...?

Look on the bright side, when its down, you're getting more units or shares. Then when the market goes back up, WOW!

The S&P 500 is down 20.60% from its high. Hope all the  retirees with  IRA accounts is holding on. It will get better. Here is where I got out on the chart and I'll show why I did. The straight red line is where I went to cash. The divergence shows weakening on the indicators while the S&P 500...
