defends-with-shield“The rally has been impressive, but there’s evidence that fundamentals remain mixed. Take some profits and reallocate,”  David Serchuk Reports From Forbes.

“John Osbon, the head of Osbon Capital Management, says that no matter what, the best portfolio defense is income, meaning dividends. “If we can’t have depreciation … let’s at least get paid while we wait,” he says. His current exchange-traded fund portfolio yields over 3%, close to the 10-year Treasury. He also likes ETFs because they are inexpensive to own. One example is the iShares S&P Global Utilities Sector ETF (JXI), which yields 4.6%,” Serchuk Writes.
