Q: I have a non-registered account, with 8-10 years before the funds are needed. To minimize tax, we would like focus on 100% capital gains, if possible. Can you recommend some ETFs or individual stocks? We have been looking at Horizon's corporate class ETFs. Thanks for your continued excellent non-biased reports!! Grant

Q: I currently have about 7 1/2 % of my RIF in bonds and would like to double that position - on the safer end . As a percent of total portfolio (Rif, non-Registered, TFSA) my holdings now are:
CBO <1%
CVD 1.1%
XHY 2.1%
ZAG 3.8%
Could you suggest what else to add or what adjustments to make to the above. Many thanks

Q: I have very little US exposure and have US$40,000 in my RRSP that I am looking to invest. I have looked at questions and profiles on VIG, VIGI, VYM, VTI and DGRO but I am unsure which of these or others ETFs would be best and am looking for some direction. What low cost, large US $ ETF or ETFs would make the most sense with the goal of maximizing US$ dividend income. This will be a long term holding.
Thank you
