Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I know these iShares ETFs were just released, but wondering if you were able to form an opinion on these based on its current holdings. The MER seems quite reasonable and am wondering you feel these would be suitable to gain diversification outside of Canada.

Thank you!

Q: I am interested in investing in dividend growers that 5-6 years from now would be yielding in the 4 to 5% range. At that time I would change from DRIP to cash payments. Therefore I would accept a lower yield now but would grow to that range. What would you suggest?

Thank you

Paul

Q: Firstly, thank you for your insight into the various securities. BRP has offered to purchase up to 350M subordinate voting shares on an Auction Tender at between 37 and 44 per share in increments of .10 until July 17th (unless withdrawn or extended.) Is it best to hold? Can you offer guidance? Thank you again ... Marty

Q: for my sons RESP can I get your opinion of the 3.25% 5 year GIC being offered by Home Capital? The amount is far below the $100,000 threshold.

Is a safe 3.25% a reasonable rate of return for an RESP that I need in 5 years time? Alternatively, would I be better to off with the investment strategy your team outlined which would have a higher potential yield but principle risk.

Your thoughts are appreciated,

Don

Q: Hi, I am looking to pick either ENB or ALA for utility sector. from dividend and valuation perspective, ALA looks far more attractive.
I would appreciate if you can provide a comparison of the two and your preference.

Q: Good Morning,
I (retired and drawing cash from portfolio) have 11.6 % in Utilities as listed. AQN 2.8%, BEP.Un 2.1%, BIP.UN 5.0%, KWH.UN 1.7%. Thinking of reducing BIP.UN to 3%, and adding FTS 2.7% and VNR 2.7% to increase weighting to 15%. Thanks in advance for your comments and the always excellent feedback. Any other suggestions welcome. BTW do I have all of these in the correct sector?
