Thank you Coach for your comprehensive sharing of ideas. I had small positions in a couple different utilities stocks way in the past but currently have none except through my Vanguard S&P 500 shares. You are so right about electric utilities as more and more electric vehicles are being sold and driven. I might even see if I can invest in the electric vehicle service stations being built as fast as they can get them up.

Of course there is no way I can get a single penny of this money into my Roth IRA which is loaded with high dividend stocks. 60% of my taxable accounts are in BRK which I bought in the mid 1980s. Thank you Warren Buffet! It of course has paid no dividends which is fine and dandy with me.

BTW I do own some REITs. Wish I had bought more. I bought them in 2009 after they dropped like bombs but was afraid to put much into them. They of course skyrocketed to where they are now and I unfortunately sold some on their way up. Hindsight! REITs look pricey to me now especially as we assuredly face rising interest rates. Too, REITs currently are driving the sky high commercial real estate market into which I am selling. They are paying cap rates of 3.5 to 5 on properties which would have sold at cap rates of 7 to 11 three or four years ago. IMHO it is just crazy!

As an aside I am going to finish loading up my grandchildren's 529 plans, too.

Thank you for the dinner invite Coach! I would like to meet you and kick around investment ideas.
