In 2011, defensive sectors like telecommunications and consumer staples have held up well as the S&P/TSX composite slid. Genuine estate investment trusts have been a tower of strength, and preferred shares have been upstanding as well. It may be a bad year for the stock market, but not for all stocks.
“In 2008, there was widespread phobia that the global financial system was breaking down,” said James Hymas, president of Hymas Investment Government and an expert on preferred shares. As much as there’s reason to fret about a global economic slowdown and the debt problems of some countries, “we’re very surely not in the state of panic we were three years ago.”
