Retirees - what are your top 5 long term stocks?

[Muschu]

What about some of the property trusts?

I have boring portfolio as well,

also consider if you have owned these stocks for a while you may well have dividends that have grown rather well,

I still feel TLS will be a good stock for the future, data is becoming more and more important and feel Telstra will provide this to consumers

Also long on AMP in particular as a turn around stock or takeover target

Thanks TL... Good point about property trusts and I'll look into that. Got any particular ones in mind?

I can't afford to "play" with the market too much but also have very small amounts into HZR, GXY and S32... Gotta through something into the "boring".

follow Nulla Nulla's thread on the property trust sector for a good summary of share prices, dividends and the weekly movements

i have the following:

BWP - owner of Bunnings warehouse properties

VCX - shopping centres (used to be cfx), has recently merged with other property trust

IOF - office trust, this is merging with DXS?

CMW - diversified property portfolio (very small speculative holding), i bought this one for the dividend play as its paying a higher dividend than most, looking to see if share price grows a bit more

over the past 10months the sector has held up okay, they not back to the highs but they not down 20-30% either

there has been merger activity and think this may be what is underpinning the interest in the sector
