Q: I am 80 and we need to booster our US Social Security to a livable income, but my wife, just 65, also needs growth to keep up with inflation. We are both Canadian/US citizens and US dividends can be hit by 20% as a result. In a rif, 2 tfsas and our joint portfolio, we have over $500G invested in about 30 Cdn stocks; 5 major banks, 4 pipelines, oil (HSE,CPG, BTE,CVE), REITS (rei,ax,cwt,d), power (aqn,bep,ema,fts) and tel (bce,t,mbt), plus some pot,tck,mg,enf,pwf, etc. I just sold a bond and now have about $140Gs to invest, so would like some advice. I'm intested in CSX in the US as I think we need to be in a railroad, but should I just add the rest of the money to our present stocks? I know this is a tough one but we need income and, at least, to keep up with inlation for my wife.

Q: As a retired investor who perceives much danger in the equity markets at present, I have a large cash position. To maximize my interest rates I have made deposits in several of the E banks (Achieva, Accelerate, Peoples choice, Canadian Direct). Some of these deposits are in excess of CDIC coverage. What is your feeling about these smaller E Banks? Any concerns?

Q: Hi,

Do you have a view on some of the new US based, Canadian listed reit IPOs that have come to market lately? Agellan Commercial, Milestone Apt, WPT Industrial, Melcor etc. Are the Yanks taking advantage of us or is there a opportunity here?

Tks
