I guess in the end you holding stocks like NLY and other high yielders is no different than me holding HAL or APA. You're looking for a little extra kicker and so am I, and am willing to have a few headaches to get it.
Being retired colors my world a little differently though. When it comes to income I don't want any surprises. I stick with the good stuff and resign myself to accepting a little less but knowing I'll get it.
Of course anything is possible and PG and JNJ could eliminate their dividends, but I doubt much else would be left standing if they did.
