Q: Good afternoon - Our collective family portfolio ( wife and I, retired) is roughly 40% fixed income comprised solely of GICs and Pref Shares. Our pref shares are with solid companies but given the lack of appetite for PShares the total value has been slowly deteriorating. This is something you have commented on in recent months and I’m wondering if and when we should bail and if we do, where then do we invest the proceed? Thanks
