Fixed Income in rising rate environment

Question

Guys,I&#x27;ve been long bonds in my IRA&#x27;s via Pimco and Loomis Sayles mutual funds for years and the last couple months I&#x27;ve been killed relative to the risk of the asset class.  Anyway I wanted to see what others thought about what type of fixed income exposure makes sense if any in rising rate environment.  I&#x27;ve been considering High Yield, International/Emerging Maret Debt, as well as Senior Floating ate Bonds.  The more I think about it though I&#x27;m wondering if I should just be buying Dividend stocks like: VZ, AEP, SNH, MO,PMI, LLY, ED etc...Thoughts

Solid Stocks that pay a Dividend is the way to you , especially for your age group. However, Fixed income shouldn't even be a primary focus for you in your portfolio at such a young age.
