That’s the message in Donald Cassidy’s feature article in the
current issue of AAII Journal.
“In the current artificial low-yield climate,” he warns, “risk
to capital is real but is being ignored more than usual, as investors seek to
replicate the income streams available pre-2007.”
His article covers MLPs (master limited partnerships),
preferred stocks, utility common stocks, and REITs (real-estate investment
trusts)—including tax-risk issues for REITs and MLPs.
His piece is well worth the time to read it, and I strongly
suggest you do.
The Association of Individual Investors is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to being a primary resource for those of us who manage
our own investment portfolios. I’ve been a member for about 40 years. In that
time, it has steadily become a better and better resource fulfilling its
mission.
