Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: You recently answered a question about HDIV and ETSX. I currently own ETSX and have been happy with the income and growth it has generated. I am thinking of adding HDIV or EIT.UN.
Could I get your comments on EIT.UN as a comparison to the other 2 funds?
I am a retiree looking primarily for steady income with some growth.

Q: I would like to put about 50% of my portfolio into safe, higher yielding (10%+) Canadian focused ETF's or Mutual Funds, and adjust my holdings as needed going forward based on sector performance. I feel that both Banks & Utilities are nearing lows and that a further correction may occur in the general market due to tax loss selling or possibly one more rate hike. Do you feel that the mix of ETF's listed provide a safe way to invest with the goals indicated? What % for each, as part of the 50%, would you recommend as a holding, and how would they be treated for tax purposes? Thanks for the great service and please use as many credits as necessary.
