Why Omega Healthcare Investors is a Retiree's Dream Stock

Especially in today's environment where they face both low interest rates and rising inflation, retirees are staring down a serious risk when it comes to covering their costs. The longer they expect to live in retirement, the tougher a hurdle that combination creates when it comes to enabling them to pay their bills.

Despite their volatility and potential to be overvalued from time to time, stocks provide retirees with one of their best hopes to earn a high enough total return to keep up with inflation after taxes. Still, not any stock will do. Many retirees ideally want a combination of current income, potential income growth, and a strategic reason to believe those trends can continue. That combination puts Omega Healthcare Investors (NYSE: OHI) in the running to potentially be a retiree's dream stock.
