I consider all of them relatively safe considering consensus is that we are entering or close to a bear market. Also all are relatively immune to what the orange haired guy running things to the south does to the world economy. Just wondering what your thinking behind selling is. I agree, none of them are setting the world on fire, but I think that they are good stocks to hide behind when stuff hits the fan. GIS makes consumer staples, people eat no matter what. REI is in retail real estate, branching into providing apartment rentals, riskier but still not cause for alarm. BMO - my experience is that Canadian banks float well through recessions, unless they have written a lot of bad loans.<br /><br />Just wondering if you've just lost patience with them, or if you know something I have missed (making me a bit paranoid, am pretty heavy in REI, so far has been decent for me)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-62641190439682954282019-06-09T20:15:46.341-04:002019-06-09T20:15:46.341-04:00Careful with dumping dividend stocks such as rio c...Careful with dumping dividend stocks such as rio can. While the stock price isn't doing great, and may even show as a capital loss in red numbers depending of when you got in, it's paying us a steady 6% dividend. REITs work differentlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-62935293905954403832019-06-07T18:20:45.318-04:002019-06-07T18:20:45.318-04:00SIA one of my favorite.
