Q: I hold some XHY in my margin and TFSA. The Canadian dollar has come down since I purchased about 2 months ago. The prediction is for a lower dollar. How risky is this downward slide , should I sell now? I just bought for the increased yield.Thank you,Phyl

Q: Hi 5i,

I have held ZWA in our RRIF,s for income for a couple of years. Recently added some ZWH which has a higher yield. Both are doing fine. What would you think of using just ZWH for the higher yield? These ETF,s do not represent total US exposure. Most US is held in other accounts.
Best regards, and thanks for your service.

Q: Hi Team,

In my kids RESP (ages 8 and 11) after trimming ESL, ATD, dividends and recent contributions there is enough for another position.
They hold now ATD,ESL,CGX,IPL,MG,BIN,SYZ,DHX,XEG,XFN,XRE,XSU.
Can you suggest another couple of names to consider either for diversification needs or for maybe some US exposure. I was thinking maybe Disney or Apple.
I am guessing we have about 8 more years until the funds are needed.

Thank you,

Brent

Q: Does CU utilize coal in its business? In previous answers you refer to the share price drop being investor concern regarding Alberta energy policy. What specifically are the concerns? With interest rate concerns as well would you consider the price now ~$32.37, a buy. I hold a small position bought at 36.26 and would like to add more mainly for growing income.

Thank you ever so much.

Q: I hold this stock and wonder if you would recommend a switch to another in the same space that you might recommend. I do own Mainstreet Equity. In August you said MEQ was a good company still. Thank you.

Hello Peter
Could you please suggest several very stable Canadian dividend stocks with dividends in the 4% to 5.5% range, with growing dividends and some possible capital appreciation that are "as safe as the banks" but NOT in the Financials, Pipelines, Utilities, or Telco sectors as we are already overweight in these sectors. You may be hard pressed to find much as I cannot, so I would appreciate your thoughts
Many thanks........ Paul K..

Q: I sold Capital Power for a loss earlier in fall, with the plan of buying it back - never did - whew! Now I am looking at Emera or Fortis, to keep my utility weighting. Do you have a preference, and why? I am more interested in dividend sustainability/dividend growth than capital gains. If you have a better idea, or would just stay away from utilities for now, please comment.

Thank-you
