Q: BDT was chosen for my wife's RRSP due to its status as a "dividend aristocrat", but its performance lately has been less than stellar, and it now shows a small loss even with the "dripped" dividends. Would you suggest a switch to STN at this time? Her RRSP holds several stocks and ETF's with the following weightings:
BDT - 5.5%
CJR.B - 17%
CBO - 14.6%
CHB - 5.6%
CUD - 25.4%
CDZ - 32%
This portfolio was assembled with no input from 5i and we wish that we were members when it was.
Any advice re BDT and portfolio re-balancing would be most helpful.

Q: Hi,
What is your opinion on stock picking vs ETF investing. How many ETF's should one hold in a portfolio of say $100k. What would your ETF recommendations be for such a portfolio as there are so many of them out there and it is difficult to choose one from the other.

Q: I have a large position in Baytex, and it is very much underwater now, but I do like the good dividend. Scotia Capital rates BTE 'Outperform', Cannacord Adams calls it a Buy, but Ford Equity Research rates it a Sell. I'd very much appreciate your opinion of BTE. Thanks.
Q: Hello team - As you know, Badger Daylighting has done very well. It's value has become a larger percentage of my portfolio than what I had planned for. I am considering selling a portion and pay the capital gain. If the stock were to drop significantly for whatever reason, can one buy back the stock within 30 days? I'm assuming that a rule does not exist as the 30 day taxable loss rule. This is a taxable account.
Thanks.
Jim
Thanks.

Q: I don't think MBT will be raising my dividend with some of that Allstream money. Where would you re-deploy the capital for a rising stream of income? It does not have to be a telecom. Also, the market is relatively high now,would you hold off on the buying and wait for a correction?

Q: FNMA FMCC
These two mortgage companies had a great run in the last month. Is it because US mortgage is making a turnaround, and these two have been sold down to ridiculously level, or it all a hype?
Mahendra Sharma is very bullish on these two stocks and looking for $30 or higher.

Q: I have subscribed to various investment letters in the past and at some point-it was always the lack of follow up or the inability to get any further input on the proposed investment. You are on to something good here and it is also affordable.
Thanks Warren
