RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:BPYU $17.92 Hi Vette!
I like your strategy of "hedging' against interest rate movement by incorporating some that are positively and some that are negatively (usually) correlated with interest rate moves! I have followed that for several years and now have a portfolio of approx. 40% preferreds (which were a pain in the a$$ until recent months), 20% REITs, 20% common shares (BEP, TRP, CM, etc.), and 20% private equity. A good mix - counter balancing the interest rate risk - and providing a tax efficient blend of DIV, CG and RoC in the income stream. Cheers!
