Q: Dear Peter et al:

I know portfolio allocation is personal based on one's risk tolerance and age Cobo etc.,
Let us say that I decide personally to keep 50% in a defensive part,
can you give 3-5 ETFs for this defensive part of the portfolio?
Does Covered Calls ETFs play a role? Do Bonds play a role? Should one focus on solid dividend players.
I know from reading literally thousands of Q&A they all play a role! What I struggle is what percentages one should allot for each of these buckets:)
Capital preservation with mild to slightly moderate risk! Is that asking for too much?!

Q: Good Morning,

Retired income investor with almost 100% of funds in equities. I feel it is time that I added some bond exposure but I am not well informed on this market. Can you please suggest investments that would get me started, cover the basic gamut and provide reasonable returns.

Thanks very much.
