"I like the fact that I can get a decent income stream every quarter, every year, but when I'm looking at investments, I am kind of considering the bigger picture, like the bigger portfolio in mind first and foremost, rather than just chasing the highest yield from here there and everywhere. So I'm more interested in like a pretty diversified portfolio, but hopefully one that produces like a decent income at the same time. So it's kind of a balance and I definitely wouldn't chase super high yields just because it looks more attractive or it's more kind of immediate gratification of getting the high payments each quarter."
