Q: I hold small positions in AD and CHE.UN and have some cash to invest to generate income as I am a retired investor. Which of these two companies would be the best or do you have another company with similar yield that you like better? Is this a good time to put extra cash to work or should one wait? I am not a fan of trying to "time" the market but do like to try to preserve my capital.
Thank you.

Q: I have 73 % of my investment portfolio in stocks. I'm 80+ years of age and have not need for income from the portfolio; it will be transferred to a future generation. My advisor recommends reducing the stock component to 60 %. He suggests purchasing large amounts of Manulife Global Tactical Credit Fund & Manulife Asia Total Return Bond Fund. Please provide me with a critical review of those funds. Do you have other suggestions in the fixed income area?

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm 58 years old and recently transferred over my Mutual Fund RRSP's to a self directed RRSP. I now have a diversified portfolio except for fixed income - still have 50% in cash. I know I should have around 30% in bonds (fixed income) but having a difficult time justifying investing in bonds with such low interest rates. Can you explain to me if rates start going up won't the value of bonds go down? What bonds would you recommend CBO or CDV or.... Are there bond like equities that would be better at this time.
Question 2: If rates go up in the US will that effect Canadian Utilities, Telco's and interest sensitive stocks.

Thanks,
Luca
