Q: Hi team, I am a retired, income with a bit of growth investor. I have 22 holdings in my portfolio. My general rule of thumb is that a single holding should not be over 5% and a sector no more than 20%. When it comes to ETF's my % are a bit higher. My question is, with the above ETF's in mind could you please tell me what the maximum % you would feel comfortable with holding in a portfolio. eg- I have ZWA at 10%, ZWE 9%, ZWU 9%, with cash at 15.5%. Thanks for your expertise, Bill

Q: hi, portfolio analytics says I am underweight basic materials, consumer defensive, healthcare and industrials. can you provide a few Canadian and US equities in each category, that you would consider for medium to long term investment.
cheers, chris ( take as many credits as you need ).
further, I am overweight in utilities ( 18.6% of total holdings ) and financials ( 25.5 %). do you recommend trimming these 2 sectors? and in financials I own BN and BAM ( which I would suspect actually have cross-over with other sectors? )??
cheers, chris

Q: Prior to the December 2022 distribution of the new BAM, I believe that the old BAM (now BN) was trading with a dividend yield above 1%...perhaps around 1.25% or even 1.5% (?) As of this moment, the "new" BN trades at a 0.91% yield.

I usually use historical yield as a guide for my stock purchases. Am I able to make a direct yield comparison of today's BN vs. the former, or was the dividend affected in any way because of the distribution 6 months ago? If so, by approximately how much ??

Q: I would like your opinion of this new ETF.
I realize it has no history, and is still rather small, but it seems to be in a growing segment, high income ETF's.
I like the equal weight aspect, I like all the companies in it, and I like that there is no leverage involved, and at the money options, seem like a winning formula.
I am looking for income, low volatility, and a little growth would be welcome, but honestly, if the share price is the same in 20 years after distributions, I would still be very happy.
It would make up about 30% of my investments, with HDIV at 20%, and HYLD at 20%, cash at 10%, and an assortment of individual companies, about 7, making up the remainder.

Thank you
