Without
a doubt, the best book currently available for income
oriented investors. Clear, concise, and extremely practical
-- every investor searching for yield should read this
book. - Mitch Zacks, Author Ahead of the Market
With
the bursting of the stock market bubble, and with yields
on CDs and Money Market funds near historical lows, gone
are the days when investors could earn 5% on their money,
risk-free. Retirees and others living on fixed income
investments have watched in horror as their monthly income
checks shriveled.
However,
there are investments that still earn a significant rate
of return -- and do so reliably and consistently. These
income securities include bonds, real estate investment
trusts, preferred stock, utilities, and emerging market
debt, among others. They earn the kinds of returns that
baby boomers and the retirement community need the way
they need to draw breath, yet hardly anyone knows anything
about them.
