Q: I'm looking for a couple of small and mid cap companies to invest in. I'm 52 years with not much in my RRSP. I need growth so I'll have to take on some higher risk. I only have one stock at the moment which is Photon Control.

Thanks Steve

Q: Thank you for your article on Canadian stocks that pay US dividends. A substantial portion of my investments are in US dollar stocks and a US money market fund. Would ZUS.u provide a good alternative to a portion of the money market fund. It pays over 3% but it does seem very large and is relatively new. Can you suggest any other US$ fixed income alternatives?

Q: Hello 5i, I currently own the BMO Monthly Income Fund (25% of porfolio) and some xtr(2%). I wish to liquidate the fund and get another etf or 2 to replace it and am considering the above dividend etfs. I would like the best of both worlds high yield/low fees and some growth with low volatility Which of the 4 would you consider adding to my xtr etf and why? Should I also increase my xtr holding. I have some GIC and am trying to be on the conservative side with this account but do hold some reits and utility etfs.
Thanks

Q: After the announcement of Alberta production curbs I increased my holdings from 2.5% to 4,5% and because of its outperformance I am now over 5% and am going to reduce my holdings. I am thinking of going down to 4% as I see improving metrics with the company. It is my only oil and gas producer in a balanced portfolio which is less than 20% of total holdings but managed on a standalone basis. What are your thoughts on a 4% holding. Thanks

Q: Google is a frustrating stock, although I think it is under-rated and continue to have faith in it. But just when it reaches a new high, it pulls back again. Slow and steady seems to be the name of the game with this one. This sell-off seems overdone to me. The miss mostly due to the fine so why would anyone sell? Your thoughts on earnings?
