Is there a lot of overlap between DE and TIH.
Do you think one needs to own both or none?
If only one, which one would you prefer and what are the key reasons

Q: This fund is held in several accounts (cash, tfsa, rrsp and rdsp) all at approximately 7% in each portfolio. Thinking about selling all because of the high fees but want to know if we'll miss out on a dividend or distribution if we sell before the end of the year. I can't seem to find this information anywhere.

Thanks

Q: With interest rates heading higher for longer, countries/ corporations with high debt levels will suffer pains not seen in a very long time. Should investors begin to switch to fixed income products (bonds,prefs) as rates rise? Will traditional income stocks get knocked about too?

Q: I have a stake in one of these companies. Is it prudent to ad at this time and to what one and why. Also, I am starting to think that market timing is everything. You must time your investments and get out at times and maybe get back in at certain times. I think that not just buy and hold until you get Killed any more. I would appreciate tour thoughts and opinions. Thanks James
