Q: When I look at the yield on TXF I see it's over 8%. Is that correct? I know you say it won't participate in the upside of a bull market due to the covered call aspect but what will the yield do in a bull market? What about in a flat or declining market? Thanks!
Q: hello...I puzzled why income stocks are rising, aka increasing stock price. For example, Bell is nearing an all time high, even in the face that interest rates increases are likely to slow or halt. And all of this is happening while balanced stocks are providing guidance of reduced margins as you highlighted in todays' market update.
Does the increase in prices for income stocks reflect a market change in sentiment to income portfolio type equity positions?
For an individual investor, are there for example indices or ETF that could be followed to monitor such changes in the stock market?
This is all triggered by the rise in Bell's stock price. I'm not overweight Bell but because of the rise in price, I'm wondering if is has topped and for this reason, should I trim and take profit?..........Thanks....Tom

Q: My 14 month total return for this preferred share etf is - 7.53%. It should provide better downside protection than HAZ , so maybe having a ten year time horizon would be better, and just look at it as part of a diversified income portfolio. Would you step into HAZ at this time if you needed Dividend income?
Thanks Gord
Q: Could you please suggest one or two currency hedged bond ETFs to compliment ZAG. This would be for a long term core position. I am trying to slowly increase my bond exposure and my only other holding is ZAG. I prefer to ex out currency fluctuations for my bond allocations, hence looking for hedged position. My initial thought was VBU. Your thoughts are always appreciated.
Q: Surprised to see no questions asked about this Fortis-affiliated Caribbean utility with a nice yield and a recent major share price jump. Can you opine on the pros and cons?
