Q: Hello, still seeing these bond etfs drifting downwards, these 4 are the fixed income portion of a well balanced portfolio, with investment savings offering just over 4% is it worth considering a move, these are in sheltered accounts. Thanks.

Q: I hold XYLD and CIC, they are the only covered call ETFs I hold and I am new to them. Is there a way to track or find charts on their total yield? I seem to only find charts of their change in NAV which make them look like dogs, while they return 13% and 8% The other question I have about them is , why are they not drip eligible?
Thanks

Q: I am 74, retired with a good pension. 20% of my investment holdings are in laddered GICs, 6% in HFR. Remaining portfolio is in equities. If interest rates are expected to level out over the next year or 2, would you consider moving some fixed income funds into longer term fixed income? Keeping the same ration of fixed to equities.

Thanks very much,

Mike

Q: Dear 5i
Do you think its important to hold more than one general market S&P 500 ETF in an RRSP account ? If so what Canadian and what US listed ETF`s would you recommend ? Is it important to hold both or just one or the other in an RRSP with regards to withholding taxes ?
Also if you own a Canadian listed ETF such as ZSP which holds individual US stocks , do those stocks held count towards the $100,000 foreign investment limit where a special tax form has to be submitted if above that limit in a nonregistered account ?
Thanks

Q: I am interested in your opinion of the eft's listed. With all the market turmoil I am looking for a basket of etf's with a high dividend and solid underlying holdings. I am also wondering if I am missing something in on your site where you evaluate ets's or do need to ask for that as an added service. Thanks for your help. Bob
