I am thinking that as interest rates continue to track lower that more and more of these people will start to see a 2 to 3 percent net divedend yield as very attractive.
As a result I am keen to invest in largely well known companies with a good yield. GNE is standing out to me as one but interested in any others out there.
I am also considering the DIV. Smartshares, admittedly a lazy option, but a simple way to diversify and they seem to have a reasonably solid track record of paying divedends.
Anyone else thinking along a similar strategy or have any recommendations.
