Thanks

Q: By the end of this year, I will set up a RRIF. I would very much like to have dividends fund the expected withdrawal of 5 to 6%. There are many TSX stocks which will help achieve this goal. For example, ENB, BCE, BNS, CM, PPL, MFC, SLF etc. Currently, my RRSP is 67% CDN$ and 33% US$. I am having great difficulty finding anything in US$ that comes close to the dividend yield offered by the CDB$ stocks that have listed. BTW, my CDN$ would have about 15 positions. Big Question: How to achieve my goal with the US$ component of my RRIF? One obvious option is to move to funds CDN$, but that goes against country diversification which you often note. I am not very keen on US stocks or ETFs that pay a 2.5% dividend. Your thoughts and recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan.

Q: Hi,

I'm looking to buy an S&P 500 ETF in Canadian dollars traded on the TSX.

What's your suggested ETF and which account should I hold it in?

I bank at BMOInvestorline if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Wondering what your favourite/safest High Interest savings ETF would be to park cash for a few months or maybe a little longer.
Are there any risks associated with these ETFs?
I note for CASH, todays price is 2% greater then the 200 day moving average. Can these drop in value?
CASH management fee is .11%-is this high?
Why are the distributions variable on a monthly basis?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: I have a largish position in JNJ and see there is an offer to exchange some or all for a stake in KVUE at a 7% market discount which puts cost close to the IPO price of KVUE based on July 24 AM market price.

What to do - exchange some or all, ignore or buy KVUE separately rather than end up with a likely odd lot?

Q: As i get older i am always thinking about reducing risk in a reasonable way. I have about 2 per cent of my portfolio in pbh. I know it is a smaller company and i have been thinking about taking a cap gain hit to transfer to atd. I was wondering how you would compare these two, rather than by size alone
Thanks as always
