Q: Looking at one of these conglomerates in my US Spousal Rsp. All seem similar in their business mix however, BX offers higher dividend and has the largest market cap. BLK seems to offer an outsized dividend and trades accordingly.
Question, for a long term Rsp hold, which of the three is most compelling

Q: I am currently managing my TFSA/RRSP funds and some money outside of registered accounts, which are largely individual stocks. With the market volatility, potential recession and war in Ukraine, I am finding it more difficult to keep on top of the individual stocks and am therefore considering going to ETF's. I am a year away from retirement but would be ok with more risk in the TFSA/RRSP's.
Could you please suggest 5 ETF's for the registered accounts and 5 ETF's for the non-registered accounts.
Thank you,
Jacquie

Q: I would like to share our experience with "passive investing" versus self-management. We have part of our portfolio with TD Wealth Management so there is no work involved for us. However, in early 2021 TD Wealth Mgmt decided the US market was going to be better and they shifted 80% of the portfolio to the USA. Not only did this turn out to be a bad decision (Canadian market did better), but the turnover generated over $100K in capital gains and an unexpected $30K tax bill for 2021. Had I being actively managing the account I would have shifted over time and watched my capital gains. ETFs, however, would not have this type of turnover.

Q: Hi,

Not a question, but an information you may have missed while responding to a question on GRA on June 1st.

The 32% surge on GRA on May 30th may be the result of an article that day in La Presse, Quebec largest newspaper, on promising Canadian stocks. In the business section of the newspaper, GRA was on top of the list of promising stocks, with a potential gain of 200% in one year, according to some analysts quoted in the article.

Hope this is helpful.

Q: A question about ZRE in the 5i Income Portfolio. I would like to add more real estate to my non-registered account at Questrade. Would it be an accounting hassle to hold ZRE in a non-registered account or would Questrade automatically calculate the ACB? Or would it be best to hold TCN and/or other Canadian real estate holdings that would receive a dividend tax credit?
Thanks!
