Q: Hi,

We could very well be heading into stagflation, which I understand to be slowing or negative growth, high unemployment, weak demand and rising inflation.

In such a scenario, which would be the best stocks or ETFs to favour ?

Many thanks,

Jacques IDS

Q: In the 2008 financial crisis Manulife a good mom and pop steady dividend payer cut its dividend that many small investors depended on and Manulife took over a decade to start to recover. I see BCE much the same as many of its stock owners have depended on it for growth and dividends and is in most Canadian portfolios. These small investors once bitten are unforgiving and will not return. What do you think?

Q: Someone asked a question about T1135s and ETFs and your response was that if the fund is domiciled in Canada a T1135 wasn't required. Could you publish a list of which funds are and aren't? This would be helpful in selecting which ones to avoid if you want to reduce your tax paperwork.
