[leftovers]

I have to agree that the high paying dividend payers are High risk! I have held CLM for 4 months and so far it has been good to me.

Certainly anyone that was in this going back years got burned real bad. The fact that they raised the div is what keep me in for now.

I still think with Bank interest rates only paying 1% and 4-6 year CD's paying between 2-2.5% The stock market will continue to shine and makes for a built in floor even though the valuation is way too high.

The best companies to invest long term in are ones that have a history of raising dividends that only pay out 2-4% because they go up in price and your combined return will run upwards of 15%.

Here is one I am going to park some money in been raising it's div every quarter! NSA
