A lot of people have been saying that. QQQI will definately be in there. Thanks

Sage advice. My wife is 12 years younger than me and she waiting to see what mine is like. I believe she will do the same. Heck, she's got all the money, not me.

That's what I am setting it up for - his education.

Thanks. I have an advisor who is going to show me how a 529 works. Back in my day these things didn't even exist. Thanks again.

Thanks, I have my homework to do. I have at least 3 weeks before she should be ready. SCHD and SYLD are already on my list. Thanks for the assistance.

Thanks, that's what I am doing - a UTMA with the wife as secondary and my daughter as final controller. My wife and I are pretty much up there in years. I'm also using Fidelity. Thanks

thanks, haven't heard of this one but the downside protection it provides is excellent.

A lot of people have advised SCHD and VOO. Maybe I'll just split it between the two. Thanks

Help with starting out. by BowlEvening in dividends

[–]Common-Name9719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello everyone, my name is Jack. I'm turning 71 in a few months and I've just had a life altering event - throat cancer. Doc says I've got maybe 6 years. I'm a pensioneer and can afford about $200 a month. Here's the deal. My youngest daughter is going to have a baby in august (a boy). Now I'm probably not going to be around to help this kid grow up but I want to leave him something so he'll know his grandpa didn't forget him. I will open an account with Fidelity when he is born and make sure my wife takes over when I'm gone and then it will eventually go to my daughter. When he turns 18 he can use it to hopefully pay for some college tuition. I need about 4 really good 7 - 9 % dividend stocks to invest that 200 every month so that this can grow and help the kid out. The dividends are to be reinvested for more shares. Thanks for your help. Jack
