Q: I have a $50K bond maturing next week in a non-registered account and plan to re-deploy the cash amongst the six equity holdings already in that account for long term hold. Are there any amongst the group that I should hold-off on, or are there any that I should over-weight?

I'd be open to suggestions of other stocks in the Consumer Cyclical space with >3% dividend if you think there are better options.
Thanks in advance,
