Q: I have an unregistered cdn div payer account, which has about 20% financial sector weighting. This is probably a little high for this account, but overall portfolio diversification including other accounts levels this out much better.

I'm happy to stay with 20% financial in this account, and this is currently achieved via equal weights of BNS, RY and SLF. In pursuit of higher yield, I am considering replacing RY (4%) with FSZ (7%) and looking for your comments on this idea.

Account objective is retirement income for next 10 to 20.

Thanks,

Jim

Q: In the 5i blog of Feb.9 detailing quality stocks the lifecos are listed. It seems to me that IAG stands out as having better past growth & fwd p/e numbers than SLF with way less debt. Has 5i changed its tepid opinion on IAG, particularly considering the stock price is still well off its 2020 peak compared to SLF's though IAG has been on a bit of a tear lately?

Q: What is your opinion of Netcoins? I wasted some $ with Coinbase, but they are awful. Cannot see a Dashboard with holdings, transaction, etc. and no one replies by Chat, Email or Cell.
