Stocks for retirees

Of course, traditionally safe stocks like The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) and General Mills do have downside. They have rallied tremendously in recent years, and likely for the exact reasons I’m outlining in this post.

That means that, if the economy begins to boom, investors who ran to these stocks for safety could bail out just as quickly, and they will likely underperform the market. However, in an era of scarce yield, these stocks are a better bet than bank deposits.
