There are two important characteristics to finding great income stocks for
your IRA.
First, start with a company that already
offers a compelling dividend today. Photo credit: Flickr/TaxCredits.net
Personally, I like to start with a dividend yield
that’s over 3%. It suggests the company is
serious about its dividend.

to come. Photo credit: Flickr/Aaron Patterson

underway to capture a market that has long-term potential
