Q: Hey there,

I am currently holding about 25% of my portfolio in cash. The market still offers some significant risk IMO and I'm not comfortable being fully invested. That being said, what are your suggestions for holding cash and still making a little something. Are their any options other than GIC's? Any help would be appreciated.

Q: I am retired living on dividend income. I currently hold equal positions in AAR.UN and WIR.U. Now that the AAR.UN acquisition is priced in and only yielding 3.87%, I am considering selling AAR.UN and adding to my WIR.U position, which yields 5.91%.
Is there any reason to continue holding AAR.UN?
Is selling AAR.UN and adding to WIR.U a good strategy? Or would you recommend another industrial REIT stock?

Q: I have been following the stock market, daily, for a half dozen years. And I never fail to be impressed at how brutal the market can be when a company fails to meet expectations. Today's 'victim du jour' is ZCL. Although it's not included in your current portfolio choices, my impression is that it's a decent company. After 2017 Q3 it was hammered with a 20% drop in stock price. Then gradually gained ground through to yesterday's 2018 Q1 report. An approximate 10% drop, as a result. What I've learned, and appreciate, from following 5i, is the importance of not catastrophizing after a bad quarter -- but to take a much longer view -- and to remain with what has been a reliable dividend payor throughout.
