Sheila:
PBT looks pretty good as an income producer. I was very surprised to find that it pays a monthly dividend rather than quarterly. I am always thinking of payments as quarterly, bi-annually, or annually. My opinion has been upgraded considerably. I think I am going to get some. I thank you for bringing it to my attention.

REITs for you to research might include: HPT, ENN, and JDN. All of these trade on the NYSE. Personnally, I like HPT and ENN more than JDN, because they are in the hospitality industry. JDN is more in the retail and office space. There may be too much office space coming to the market this year. There are many others. If you find a good one, please share the name with us.

Other good income producers would be BPT and PBT. However, they are royalty trusts. Typically, they provide high income with a "Depletion Allowance" that makes the income tax free.
