great article

i'm getting in for the first time and i feel very confident in doing so . . however, i'm still trying to be very careful

i just discovered Sharebuilder, which is awesome. You don't have to buy full shares if you can't afford it, AND . . you can have them automatically invest small amounts for you every week.

Look at utilities and pipeline companies. They are usually recession resistant as people need electricity and fuel. These companies are paying very stable dividends.

SO, XEL, FPL, KMP, ETP, PGH
