Q: I am very impressed with your ability to limit your balanced portfolio to 25 stocks. Currently I hold the above six stocks in the financial sector whereas you hold three. The only one with large imbedded gains is REF.UN which I have held for over twenty years. one third of our total portfolio follows your balanced portfolio. The other 2/3s is managed for us and includes a large allocation to canadian banks. I am willing to sacrifice some stability for more growth. Would you consolidate any of the above stocks to simplify the portfolio? Below is my current allocations. My bias is to keeping REF, GSY and ECN.
2.23% aif
3.16% ref
2.36% ecn
1.90% fsz
2.54% gsy
1.86% slf

Q: RE: June 08, 2017 - Asked by Jerry - NEO >>>>

Looks like I won't be getting quotes directly from Google any time soon. Received the following reply to my email from NEO:
Thank you for your market data inquiry. I can confirm that we have engaged Google Finance with respect to making NEO Exchange market data available on their platform, but they have been less than responsive. Most global data vendors do currently support NEO data. If you are inclined, please feel free to contact them directly with your request, as there are no applicable fees for them to make NEO data available.

Q: As I am over 55 and live in BC I qualify to defer my property taxes until sale of our home. I will have to pay .7% interest on the deferred funds this year and the rate can change yearly. I was thinking of depositing the equivalent funds (about $2500 per year) my TFSA each year as i have unused room and I was wondering what recommendation you would make for a reasonably safe investment for these funds for the long term until sale of our home when they will come due along with interest.
