Okay, not really, but I'm not gaining it as fast as I would like on the stock market.
What are your favorite long term stocks with consistent returns?

    I'm kind of frustrated with Apple at the moment, but I am hanging onto it in hopes that they will start being groundbreaking again.
    I bought at basically the worst time and have taken a big hit on them at the moment.

    You have more money than me if you can actually afford Apple stock.

    I'm out.

    Is this one of those things where I have to pay for this advice?

    Smuckers, without a doubt. Get this, get this and keep going with it. It's been a consistent winner since the 1980s, and keeps getting better.

    I was going to say Boeing, too, but this 787 debacle is annoying. However, their stock WILL rise, as Airbus shot themselves in the foot with the A380.

    Thanks for the tips!
    I'll keep an eye on both of them.

    Proctor and Gamble has been pretty good for me over the years.

    P&G has been good.

    I also have been getting some growth with American Capitol (AGNC). It has been paying decent dividends for the last few years, but recently the price took a fairly significant hit. I was slow to jump into it as it is primarily real estate, but no complaints.

    Real estate is just too much work for me right now. Wish I could flip and rent some houses.

    I bouhgt Apple years ago at 11.90 a share. Over the next few years it zoomed to close to $90 and I sold, thinking it would never go over $100. Yeah, I kick myself.

    If you have money to invest in the stock market, then why waste your money?

    Why not invest it into making it work for you to make a sound return?

    Let me elaborate, the only way you are going to make money is property. (real estate) Buy it rent it. Full stop.

    I've looked into it. There are a few reasons why I'm not willing to invest in real estate right now. I do not have the cash to buy property outright, so I would have to use the bank's money. That diminishes my returns by around 3% per year. While there is a lot of equity involved in real estate there is not a lot of liquid, and it is not easy to convert the equity into liquid. At this point in my life cash is king. In my market (Dallas) there are not a lot of great deals on property. Anything that I would get at a discount to make my investment (in my mind) worth it would take a ton of work to get rental or flip ready. I don't have that kind of time. In the same vein I don't have time for regular maintenance on investment properties. Finally, I am uncomfortable making an investment of $150k+ that does not have a guaranteed return. Again, I'm just not in that place in my life yet.
    I have begun investing in debt (lending club), but again the liquidity is an issue for me.

    I like the looks of it, but they've been stagnant for far too long right now. I'll watch for a year or so.

    Hemorrhaging money is me...always impressed when people understand money. Sigh in the meantime we just spent $200 on some computer hacker thing, and we dont know how to balance a check book to save our lives.

    Good work all.

    Familiar as in I've heard of them. I don't have a great understanding of them, though.

    Do you have a financial advisor or someone you trust that you can discuss them with? This is a good starting place for general information: http://www.reit.com/~/media/PDFs/UpdatedInvestorsGuideToREITs.ashx

    My 8 month old son will be there soon enough :P. Hence why I want to make lots of money. Gotta send him to college!
