milwaukee mike Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 why does anyone think 2.7% is a decent return when it is taxed at the worst possible rate? you can buy decent preferred stocks like bhr-d and get 9% dividends, while buying at a discount to fair value ($25) or you can buy common stocks paying 5% dividends like gis, t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milwaukee mike Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I dont pay taxes. but 2.7% is still barely keeping you up with inflation, if it is mainly because of health insurance going up 20%/year, but my costs go up more than 2.7% each year so even without taxes i would be losing money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
