Q: I recently received some money and I want to closely mimic your income portfolio in a taxable account.I was thinking of taking some of the weighting of the financials and buying FTN.I realize there is some added risk but it suits my investment style and I like the US exposure to banks.The dividend is also attractive I must admit.From your past comments you are not really excited about it.Also the bond portion of the portfolio are you still happy with the 7% weightings.
