Q: Good morning;

I am doing some rebalancing of my portfolio. In light of my views on world events over the next 3-5 years I am looking for the top 3 "Consumer Defensive" stocks. I believe there to be risk in the US dollar over this period so would appreciate your recommendations on 3 Canadian and 3 American consumer defensive stocks and what makes them a consideration.

As always, thanks for your insights!

Q: I was reviewing INVH for income because portfolio is excessively growth oriented. INVH seemed to me well-positioned with good prospects for price appreciation. I also thought INVH could be a good inflation hedge. It seems I am wrong on all the above. The value of INVH shares is down by more than 12% over 6 months, and down by over 16% in the past year. Is something wrong with the business? Or do you attribute poor share performance to negative sentiment? The latter seems too simplistic a reason however. But if it really is just sentiment , do you expect investor attitudes to grow warmer towards boring income producing companies? Like many other investors, I continue to stay dangerously in love with growthy tech. I have been trying hard to shake off the addiction.

Is INVH a good candidate to offset a growth-oriented ‘portfolios? If not INVH, then do you have other suggestions for income ?
If not real estate , for income, under current conditions do you prefer mature slower growth dividend payers over REITs? ( I have no clue on bonds). I would appreciate suggestions on conservative income-producing securities that you like that are available at reasonable prices currently (US, Europe, UK). Prices to buy below at are *always* helpful .
