Great Opportunities to Rebuild Your Porfolio

This is Jeff Wareham, ScotiaMcLeod Wealth Advisor, with some thoughts
for investors outgrowing their mutual funds.

January of 2009 certainly followed the record setting example of
2008...the US markets suffered through their worst January ever. It
is understandable to be disheartened by the state of the market,and
the economy, but there are many great opportunities to rebuild your
porfolio. Many blue chip companies are offering outstanding dividend
yields on their common and preferred shares, and these may provide a
growing source of income for a conservative investor. Corporate bonds
are even more interesting, as the credit crisis has pushed their
yields dramatically. Major Canadian banks are paying yields of well
over 7 percent on some durations of bonds, and with the guiding hand
of an advisor, these could be a key part of rebuilding your portfolio.
When credit conditions normalize, you will not only continue to
receive this great yield, you may earn significant capital gains, and
every investor could use income and capital gains after the past few
months.
