Q: Dear 5i
My current financial adviser has me in a large position of a global bond etf. I can`t continue with this etf when i switch toQuestrade as it is not tradeable there .
The question is should i continue to remain in global bonds and if so what would you suggest in terms of an etf or should i just stick with North American bond etf`s?
Thanks
Bill C.
Q: Dear 5i
I am two years away from retiring and currently positioning my portfolio to be 60% fixed income and 40% equity.
Of the $600,000 fixed portion what bond ETF`s would you recommend and what dollar amount would you put into each ? Obviously lower MER`s and higher yields are preferable .
Thanks
Bill
Q: Hallo I5, is there a tax advantage between dfn, df and zwu, would you please rate or rank them from safety point of view. Perhaps suggesting a couple better ones. I do not have any India holding. Would you consider either of the above safe with reasonable MER, perhaps a suggesting a couple better ones. Many thanks, J.A.P. Burlington
Q: Have owned CBL for quite some time and based on the potential sale value (indicated 18-22.00) I don't get that investors would bail on the stock after reporting a weak quarter. If the company is not sold, do you think it would be worthwhile to continue holding?
Q: Can I have your thought on RNW in general but with attention to recent earnings, the longer term outlook, implications of the debt, sustainability of the dividend and anything else that you think is relevant. Thank-you.
Generally the Q&A answer my questions to my satisfaction.
I have about an 8% holding of EIF in my TSFA and a long term holding horizon. I have held it for a long time and it has been good to me. Given the current pullback and "short" concerns, I am thinking of reducing my risk by selling 1/2 position. Is this something you would recommend, or would you be in the "ride it out" category.
Q: Curious why you picked a medium term (5-10 year) US bond etf to recomend to me in the last question i asked. do you think this is preferable to short or long?
you also recommended GOVT. Were you thinking I should put half in each?
Q: Good Morning,
Some recent pressure on Canadian bank stocks lately, do you see this continuing in the near term? I would like to add some BNS to a taxable account, what are your thoughts. This will be a long term hold. Have TD and RY in TFSA and RRSP.
Also what are your thoughts on CNR for a long term investment in a taxable account.
Thank you
