iShares S&P/TSX Composite High Dividend Index ETF (XEI $31.22)
-
iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF (CDZ $40.00)
Q: you recently ranked XEI more highly than CDZ. Could you offer a comparison between the 2? I have read elsewhere that CDZ, which I own, holds too many high yield/high risk
stocks. Would substituting XEI address that, or would it create its own issues?
Thanks

Thanks
Q: In a recent question you said that CDZ could not do well because of dividend cuts, so, i am asking whether or not you would consider XEI to be the same or not as it has a larger amount of companies that pay dividends...Gene
Q: I have been beaten up badly with this stock. Assuming I want continued general exposure to the REIT market would you cut ties and move onto something else such as ZRE.TO to reduce some risk but maintain exposure?
Q: What’s going on to cause the jump in remx, or is it an error. I can’t find a news release to explain it.

iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF (CDZ $40.00)
Q: I recently sold CDZ, XEI and ZDV for a tax loss and would like to re-purchased equivalent ETF's. Can you recommend appropriate replacements?
Q: I would appreciate your views about the Global Dow Index (GDOW). Would you recommend this index for individuals seeking global and sectoral diversification, but with more conservative, stable companies? Or, do you recommend other indexes?
Can you please also recommend both a Canadian-based and a US-based ETF which tracks the GDOW (or other international index if you so recommend).
Thanks again for this wonderful service!

Q: What do you think of this ETF for fixed income portion of a portfolio?
Q: A question about corporate bonds from Gary posted April 14, was answered with "We would prefer to comment on individual issues that your broker might have rather than list several that might not be available." I see that your income portfolio includes CVD. This ETF seems to be not very large and not very liquid; is that correct? If so, I would otherwise be leery of taking a position; but here it is in the portfolio. Is it indeed something that is recommended? If not, is there another ETF that would be better? Or is an ETF not the way to go because of the potential failure of some bonds in any basket? Thanks,
Q: Given the number of companies either suspending or eliminating dividends , would you say the outlook for this fund to be rather weak, for the time being?
