Q: Hi 5i,
For the equity part of my portfolio I'm looking to diversify internationally. As a percentage of my total equity portfolio I'm thinking 4%VXUS 2%DLS and 2%DIM. Is 8% international stocks a reasonable number for a conservative investor and is there maybe a better way to adjust the percentages? The equity portfolio will be rebalanced yearly. The bonds and cash part of the portfolio have not been included this is strictly equity.
Thanks

Q: Why does bhp have a 13.6% dividend? Does this indicate a sign of caution as the dividend may be too high and a sign of weakness? Would this be an equity that presents high risk? Would you buy?

Q: Save for its operating in Brasil, EBR seems, on the face of it, to have reasonably good prospects. However, what is the true status of the dividend and do you believe the debt level is reasonable? Thanks!
Q: With the recent drop in price, would you consider BHP an ideal opportunity to take advantage of tax loss selling over the next few weeks? Do you still think the dividend payout is reasonably safe?

Q: I bought RIO at around $76 US and it has been going down ever since. I plan to hold on to this stock for 3+ years and just wondering if this is sector related?
If it's sector or cyclical related, would you pick up a bit more at the lower price or wait until there is momentum again?
thanks,
Paul

Q: Do you have any investment ideas in the area of hearing assistance. The wearing of air pods appears to be ubiquitous and will accelerate the demand. Looking for a few company ideas to tuck away in my RRSP. Besides the chip companies are there any more direct way to play what I think is going to be a secular long term play. US Europe or Canada.
Thanks for all you do!
