Purchasing preferred stocks might not be a viable option, considering their current 7% yield. Furthermore, The perpetual characteristic of this instrument might make it less appealing as you lock in funds indefinitely.


Regarding bond funds, intermediate ones are currently yielding approximately 6% for investment-grade corporate bonds. Does not seem like that is a great idea either

What exactly are you comparing these against?
Stocks are not bonds. In maritime terms, stocks are for speed, bonds are for ballast. You want bonds to not decline too much, or even go up, when the CNBC pundits are proclaiming that the sky is falling as stocks suffer the bust part of their aperiodic boom-and-bust cycles.

Define your objectives first.
