My retiree high-yield dividend income investing blog
Today I had a short term T-bill mature, so I used those funds to buy some higher-yielding investments. As interest rates come down, T-bills will no longer be as attractive, so I am adding to my holdings in preferred stocks and limited duration bonds.

Added to three of my positions today:
