Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning!
I am looking for what I assume would possibly be an ETF for dividend payers that someone who is not into equity buying/selling could buy and hold in relative safety, with either a distribution paid or (if dividends not paid out directly) would appreciate accordingly and then be periodically sold to have a steady income. I am contrasting this with annuities, or active portfolio management, but am open to any other suggestions you might have.
Thanks!

Q: Hello. What do you think of a switch from NWC to AW.UN (both in an RSP)?

NWC is currently 1.4% of our portfolio at a gain of 24% (40% with dividends).
AW.UN is currently 1.7% of our portfolio at a slight loss of -3%, but with a gain when including dividends.

Thanks.

Q: I am considering adding to my current position in ABBV.

The stock is down close to 18% since the last earnings report. I'm sure the whole Humira thing had been priced in all along, but as of the last report, has the company outlook really changed that much to justify the size of this pullback? Are you comfortable with adding at this point, or should one have patience? I think the debt continues to be reduced quarter by quarter, which should help.

Q: Can you confirm for me if the price of Enbridge (ENB:CA) was above $60 in April 2015 please?

The 10 year ENB:CA chart I see on the 5i website (and on the Stockcharts website) appears to be quite different than the price chart I see in my BMO Investorline (/ Koyfin, the barcharts website, and a quick google search).

First time I’ve ever noticed something like this, so I’m just confused and wondering which chart is the correct chart to follow? Thanks for your help.

Thanks
