Q. What are some of the companies that you would buy for the longer term that pay nice dividends as mentioned in your report?

A. Thanks for the question.

Probably best to refer you to our ‘income biased’ portfolio for the stock ideas (see  here).

If you are not keen to create and manage your own portfolio, another option is to invest in one of the major listed investment companies, such as Argo or AFIC (ASX stock codes ARG and AFI respectively). James Dunn’s article from last November is a little out of date, however well worth reading.
