    Thanks. Well I add to my shares whenever I can get just a lil cash, but I’ll stay away from CPLP. Funny that you mentioned PDLI, a lady of mine bought that on my advice. It dropped a bit before she bought, a lil more after, but then it paid the dividend and she came out $100 ahead. She sold it to buy CLM . T is on my list also, and I know it’s a fairly safe bet, but if I can’t find anything else that has at least a 10% yield I’ll probably just buy more shares of IGD. Thanks for the advice!

    I would not buy that one personally because it is a partnership, I believe. Look at a K-1 Schedule which is what you would be filing each year you own a partnership plus you would file state income taxes in every state where the partnership does business. I also would not enter the market with only $400. Study CIM or PDLI ot even T (AT&T) for what looks like a better dividend play. T is much lower dividend but probably safer.

    Should I be scared of CPLP with it’s almost 25% yield? I don’t have much to invest at the moment, but I may scrounge up $300-$400 this month, and I’m thinking of risking it there.

    You seem to be doing very well with your investment ideas. Of the three issues you mention, FTR looks best with just a quick glance, mainly because it is a high volume stock which means if you buy or sell a thousand shares your one trade does not change the stock price against you. High volume is better. I might jump in on FTR Monday.

    Very good! I’m new to stock, been investing mostly in gold and silver bullion – which has done quite well. Now I’m buying high-dividend stock a little at a time. Currently I own IGD, but plan to get FTR and CLM in the future.

    I do not recommend any brokerage firms. I use TD Ameritrade but check all the firms that sell stocks and read their requirements. They vary. You probably can use a firm outside your country but I do not know the laws of your country so just do some research. It will probably be easier to trade than you might guess with the internet being the new norm. Check your local laws first.

  18. ennissull

    Could you recommended a brokerage firm and is it possible to use a firm that is not based in the country that you live in?

    There are many styles of trading. Some people like Warren Buffett rarely sell after they buy and day traders might trade every few minutes. Many stocks do not have dividends but are still popular to buy and hold if they tend to go up. Some people buy and hold to get a high dividend from certain high dividend stocks whose prices rarely go up much. Thanks.

    So I’m guessing that lots of trading goes on in the stock market than keeping stock with your companies until you get a dividend, right?
