I've put a bit of money into some things like REITs and holding companies that I find interesting. You don't really expect the stock to appreciate, but they throw off huge dividends in the 5 to 8 percent range. I've been treating them kind of like fixed-income, even though I know they're not.

I don't currently hold any but I'll find some good ones tomorrow. I just blew my load on that last post so I'm done for the night. Typically you'll want medium term stuff. They return a bit higher than 1%.
