As Cramer suggests, this isn't prudent with the government continuing to dilute the market with massive issuance now and in the future. The better option is clearly high paying dividend stocks which the Net Payout Yield Portfolio is loaded up with. Check out our performance at marketocracy.com . Then watch the clip and move your money into our portfolio or a similar one.
