Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello:
Can you recommend articles or books that will guide a pre-retiree about asset allocation strategies based on ETFs? (NOT a request for general reading) If 60/40 is dead, then one is bit lost! What next? I know that repeatedly you have said that you don't want to give % of weighting of stocks or ETFs as you feel it is bit personal. Hence my request to guide me to read and learn about asset allocation strategies. Please consider current political/economic/pandemic environment.

Q: Hi Guys, the fixed income part of my portfolio needs a few additions, the returns on GIC's are very low, would be happy with PSA but apparently not available through my broker TD Waterhouse so my question is how would you rate the above 4 bonds, maturity date is no more than 3 years out.
Thanks Anthony

Q: What is your opinion of investing in bonds vs GIC's or stocks with high dividends for Fixed Income? I'm looking for security, and given the current bond yields and little room for interest rates to drop, bonds don't look too promising. What do you think of a combination of bonds, GIC's and blue chip dividends?
If so, which bond ETFs would you recommend, for both Canada and the US? I have some USD cash, but mostly Canadian.

Q: Hi,
if you were putting a fund together comparable to VGG, but for Canadian equities, what might be your first 5 top picks assuming the same criteria for the ETF? Also, what would be your 3 honorable mentions?
When comparing CDZ and VGG what are the main differences in terms of the stocks that make up these two ETF's?
Many thanks,
Dan

Q: Hi, based on the companies that you cover and also US if possible, which companies are likely to have a stable and steady growth in the next 5 - 10 years ? I mean, I would like to invest in companies that are fairly valued today and that can grow steadily in the next years, not extreme high growth companies. I aim companies that will give me a CAGR > 10% but with a medium risk.
