John, try REITS and Dividend Paying Stocks in the Investment Portfolio Forum. Good information.
WWE priced at todays close is paying a 6% annual dividend. I don't know what your target is though.
100% G Fund COB 13 March 2020
I believe I am going to start investing my Roth IRA again and I think I'm going to take a break on this ETF stuff with my individual account since I can't seem to win for my life on that stuff. I did buy 20 shares of FE in my individual account and it has a nice dividend. I need to transfer my $5,000 for the year into my Roth and that will give me a little over $10,000 to start investing in some long dividend paying stocks. Thanks for all of the posts everyone. Definitely gives me a place to start looking for more funds.
Decided to purchase Lowe's (LOW), due to the fact that the price recently collapsed from ~32 to ~25 due to weak fundamentals, and an analyst downgrade. Not really a dividend bellwether, but if it just gets back to where it was a few weeks ago, I should pocket about 20%. I like my chances. Give it a few months.

I own LOW for years and it never moved much. Did pay a decent dividend though.
100% G Fund COB 13 March 2020
FWIW, I moved my TSP "cash" from G to F. If Europe implodes this summer/fall (like I think it might), the dollar will strengthen, which will help stocks will go down, and money will flow to the (perceived) safety of U.S. Treasuries, which will lower their yield, which will cause the F fund to rise. Just trying to squeeze out an extra percent or two out of my "idle money". Also, since it's the end of the month, it's a good time to burn an IFT now, rather than wait until June. Just trying to plan ahead and use my IFT's wisely.

I'll have to check the tracker to see how far I have to climb before you can eat some hoof dust.

pfffftt... diatribe from a mutual fund salesperson. Ugh. I think I just barfed a little in my mouth. *spitting*

Just now getting a chance to check in. Looks like my post on BT's account talk yesterday was timely... Yesterday would have been a good day to lighten up on equities. Hope BT and others are paying attention.
There's lots of choppy action ahead, but I seriously doubt that we'll see a strong market this summer. BHO could order Bernanke to pump up the markets, but I believe it will be all for naught. Yea, I know that we're in an election year, and history says I'll be proven wrong. I think this time just might be a little bit different than all the other presidential election years.
I have confidence that my timing systems will keep me out of the major downdrafts, and get me back in for the major market upswings. I've been chewed up occasionally when the market whipsaws back and forth, but that usually doesn't last too long.
Although my analysis is showing an 80% plus avg return using 3x leveraged ETF's, I'm not planning on those figures going forward. If I cut that figure in half, 40% seems like a reasonable expectation. A 40% return would double my money approx every 2 years.
Before you start licking your chops, I urge you caution... this is not for the faint of heart, and you can lose a lot of money using leveraged ETF's. Paper trade this for a while, until you're sure you want to risk any money to it. Then, after you've paper traded it for a while, and you feel comfortable, only risk a small amount of capital to this system with your real money. I wouldn't want anyone to get burned by a series of bad trades, and then watch them bail with big losses.
Good luck!
