Sector Plays

[porscha]

mortgage sector - i've had some luck in the mortgage loan sector lately. although mortgage interest rates seem to have leveled out for now, it does look like new home sales and re-finances are still going strong. there still may be some money left to make in this sector.

HIX is a REIT that has done well for me. it's currently selling in the $12.00 range and pays a .115 monthly dividend. the good thing about HIX is they declare their monthly distributions 3 months in advance.

HCM in another one that has had an even greater price appreciation over the past few months. their last quarterly dividend was about .30 so at it's current price in the mid $13.00 range it still has a great dividend return.
