Q: I have a base of preferred shares ETFs to help counterbalance the tech stocks and their volatility, and these ETFs generally move very little in a day. Wednesday was an exception, with TPRF and CPD in particular, down more than 1%, and the others down quite a bit, as well. This despite the TSX and all other indices being up. Would you care to speculate what made all the preferred shares ETFs drop in tandem on Wednesday?

Q: How do you feel about this laddered preferred etf as a stable income provider mixed in with some growth stocks such as (CSU, TOU, EQB, Shop and TRP) for a retiree, in this falling interest rate environment?

Q: Hello team.
The above are my highest dividend payers in my unregistered account, however at the end next year I have to start withdrawing from RRSP and LIRA account and would likely elevate my income to a substantially higher tax bracket. For that reason I am think of reducing my income generating holdings in the unregistered account and be less focus on income. Conversely, while divesting in the unregistered account I would rebalance the RRIF to be more income oriented. Does this make sense and could you suggest 5 growth oriented equities with SOME income to replace the above. I already TD,BNS,BN,BAM, TFII (small position)?
Thank you
Frank
