Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have recently retired and am pondering investment options. Your answer to the question from Brian on Feb. 6 piqued my interest:
"you may find it advantageous to have more Canadian dividends, if you can utilize the dividend tax credit to its full advantage (you can earn about $48,000 tax free if your ONLY income is Canadian dividends".
Could you expand/explain more thoroughly about tax free dividend income? Thanks, Larry

Q: Hello,

When will your next ETF Recommend List be updated? I'm a subscriber of this service and in the middle of planning my investment strategy. Are you envisioning any major differences from the one published in Nov 2018?

Q: Good morning

Given the understanding that you do not formally cover US equities. The area of cybersecurity appears to be in a strong secular uptrend given our insatiable thirst for data.
Can you give me your top three US equity ideas right now to profit from this assumption.

Thanks

Q: Hi,
I’m looking at a long term (30 year) rrsp portfolio. What do you think of making it up of these 4 etfs? Do you think long term it’s better to have the hedged or unhedged versions (where applicable)? I’m thinking 25%vfv, 25%vef, 20%xqq and 20%vdy. Then 10% in cash for buying dips when I see them. I’ll also be using any drips (even proxy drips if needed) as well as adding new funds every 3-6 months and rebalancing annually (unless there’s some major movement before that). Do you see any areas that are too redundant or underrepresented?

Thanks
