Q: As a retired income investor I am considering BRE as a long term hold. The 8.5% yield is very appealing. The charts indicate oversold or close to being oversold thereby offering some upside gains as well.

All else being equal - weightings, diversification - would you consider this to be solid addition to one’s portfolio ?

Q: Hi everyone at 5i! I need a clarification about bonds. I have heard that bonds are facing head winds with the anticipated increase in interest rates. I have a portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% fixed. My fixed component consists of GICs, bonds, some preferreds and ETFs of XHY, CBO and CPD. These ETFs pay me a nice dividend monthly. My strategy is to invest my monthly dividend into the ETF that is lagging to get the greatest value for my dollar. Considering that the value of these ETFs may fall ( hopefully just in the short term) would you consider this an ok strategy or would you refrain from putting more money in bonds and preferreds. Cheers, Tamara
