Q: Hi, are the 5i growth, income, and balanced portfolios better suited for non-registered or registered (RRSP and TFSA) accounts or a combination thereof? I currently only have registered investments which, today, are a combination of CDN & US stocks and ETFs. Thanks!

Q: Hi Guys,

Just looking for some insight into PPY. They've recently released good news about production which seems to be ahead of schedule however the stock price has been dropping steady. Is this worth waiting it out or it it time to move on?

Q: I have the (dubious ?) honour of being age 71, and as such I must convert my RRSP into a RRIF by this year-end. I am also aware of a rule that allows me to use my spouse's age (younger) to determine the minimum percentage that must be withdrawn each year. I further understand that the CRA rules do not allow any change once this choice is made.
The minute CRA says there cannot be any changes, a red flag goes up, and I wonder if I am missing something. Do you (or other subscribers) know of any reason why I should re-consider choosing the lower withdrawal rate. Thanks for your great service. T.

Q: Your thoughts on a portfolio in a non registered account consisting simply of these 3 etf's (ZRE,ZPR,ZDV) to hold forever. Dividends received put into VIG.US, I'm 45 years old, I have no mortgage and no debts looking to borrow and bring my accounts to 100k for each of these 3 etf's totalling 300k, in retirement will use only dividends. (This would act as my deferred annuity but I get to keep my money) is my thinking clear?

Q: Hi Peter

I own QSR at lower levels and am considering adding Starbucks with its pullback. They are the kind of companies I like to own with increasing dividends.
However, I have a hard time accepting P/Es in the mid 20s. Morningstar has SBUX with a forward P/E of 25. Still seems expensive even with its pullback. What do you think?

Cheers
John
