Common Stocks for
Income
Below we have begun to list common stocks that have reasonable yields with
decent safety

We DO NOT list common stocks of companies with high yields while on the verge of
bankruptcy etc.

Of course the advantage of buying common stocks with decent yields is that historically--over
time they have performed very well combining the dividends received with the capital
gain potential

These are NOT recommended purchases, but are just informational.  You must do additional due
diligence
to find investments suitable to your needs and style.
