Investment Q&A

Q: In a previous question, you thought that most of the uninvested cash in the Income Portfolio would be deployed by the end of September. Just wondering what your latest timeframe would be? I'm sitting on a little bit of investable cash, but am willing to wait for the right opportunity.

Thanks...Steve

Q: Peter and team:
I read a question from someone this morning about a TFSA for their 18 yr. old daughter. I had just been thinking about this prior to turning on the computer. I too am in the same position. I had been thinking RRSP. Which vehicle (RRSP vs. TFSA) do you feel is best for a young investor to start with? Also, for an RRSP, what would you think of a low MER high quality Mutual Fund such as MAW 104.

Thanks as always for a great service.

Q: Hi 5i team, I know that you are not promoting market timing but I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the following; I am a young retired person with most of my financial needs met with my defined benefit pension. My investments are 100% in equities as I consider my pension to be the fixed income portion. Where the market has been so strong lately and with no recent correction do you think it would be wise for a conservative retired income investor to take approximately 25-50% of his investments and purchase good quality rate reset preferred shares with the belief that during a period of extreme volatility and market correction that these instruments would be affected far less than common shares? The only preferred shares I hold currently is ECN.PR.C. Please tell me if you believe my logic is flawed and if it is not could you recommend a few other good yielding preferreds or other instruments you believe would hold up well during volatile markets. Thanks again for all you do. Mario.
