[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1036372, member: 7966"] I have my 401k setting in money since May ... probably wait on Europe situation to resolve before I put this back in the market. Bonds are a questionable approach for teh last year and I have moved 75% of my bond holdings (kept the Munies) My outside investments are mostly UPS stock and a combination of other stocks that provide a consistent yield and meet the following requirements: [LIST] [*]Dividend yield above 4% [*]Three-year beta versus the S&P 500 less than 0.85 [*]Market capitalization of $15 billion or greater [*]S&P credit rating of BBB or higher [/LIST] This is a dated article that talks about this approach: [url=http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat/2010/10/18/the-hunt-for-yield-20-dividend-stocks-credit-suisse-likes/]Credit Suisse: 20 Dividend Stocks We Like - MarketBeat - WSJ[/url] I own about 50% of the stocks discussed in this more recent article: [url=http://www.businessinsider.com/credit-suisse-20-stocks-better-than-bonds-2011-11?op=1]Credit Suisse: These Are The 20 Stocks That Are Better Than Bonds - Business Insider[/url] This works for me as I enter retirement ... it may not be the best investment for you.
