Look at defensive stocks. High growth is gone. I've got my eye on Origin. It goes ex-div today. If over the next few weeks if gets down to low 7s i don't think you can lose from there ( all IMO ). There is a large political component as to why Origin's share price is where it is and that could change in the next 12 months or so. Insurance companies as well. I think QBE goes ex-divvy tomorrow. Again something in low 12s would be appealing. And i don't think the yield game is completely over. Futures markets are pricing a 100% chance of a Dec rate cut. So Telstra and Medibank come into play further down the track. I 'd wait on the banks until they find a floor. My advice to anyone is be patient and take your time. Don't buy a portfolio of shares or a few shares on a particular day, spread out over a period of time.
