And it looks like he's about to make it a full two years. Last quarter, Buffett cut his company's massive position in Apple nearly in half.

Few retirement decisions have as lasting an impact as when you decide to claim Social Security. The decision permanently affects how much you receive, so it's not one you want to gloss over as insignificant. I recommend that retirees (or those approaching retirement) figure out their break-even age before claiming Social Security benefits. Your break-even age is when the total lifetime benefits from claiming at one age equal the total lifetime benefits from claiming at another age.

U.S. REITs are also required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends to maintain a favorable tax rate.
