Q: Hello. I currently hold zdi in my cash account and am thinking of increasing my exposure to this part of the world (now about 1.5% of that portfolio). I'm wondering about the pros and cons of doing this by adding zea. I realize it doubles my exposure to the UK, but it also adds more of Japan. Alternately, I could just buy more of zdi. Your recommendation, please.

Q: With interest rates likely increasing this month in Canada and also the USA, would you put any extra cash into bond funds (like CBO,XHY) or preferred shares right now; or wait to see if the prices decline with the new higher interest rates?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i.

I'm currently putting together my RRSP income portfolio.
My plans are to invest approx 50% stock or Stock-ETF and 50% secured.
At the moment 50% secured is in GICs.
I have 30% stock exposure now. ENB-BNS-EMA-BCE-SRU-ECI about 5% in each position.
I'm looking for ideas to diversify my last 20%.
It has taken me 6 months to put this together.

I look forward to your suggestions..
