Q: My daughter is invested in just these three ETFs. With a 40-40-20 percent weighting. The reasoning was diversification, growth and safety. YTD she is up 20% but the laggard seems to be the one based on the TSX. Can you make any suggestions concerning this strategy? Thank you!

Q: Like most I have some options("dogs")for tax loss selling.

In which order would you sell the above? and I assume you would not buy any of them back at this point in time?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: While I am primarily a growth investor and I currently hold BN, I am attracted by the higher USD dividend offered by BIPC and am considering a switch. Which company do you think will have the best overall return over the long run for an investment in an unregistered account?

Q: I want to take advantage of capital gains in bonds that I expect to occur as rates decline but I am unsure whether I will get that benefit with an ETF like XBB as much as with individual bonds. Can you tell me how that works with the etf? I assume as they buy new bonds at to replace their maturing ones, that will take away the capital gains advantage as they buy them at par in the higher rate market.

Q: Good Day,

I hold TD and RY in my RRIF and was thinking of switching one for BNS for a higher yield and the "buy the poorest

performing bank" theory. Is this a logical approach and which would you switch.

Thanks Tom

Q: My wife took early retirement with DB plan. Her RRSP and TFSA are well diversified. She has enough money to invest in about 10 companies. This money is not needed in foreseeable future. However, a small dividend is appreciated along with capital appreciation. It will be invested in a regular account. Can you please suggest top 12 companies.

Thanks inadvance

Q: I'm interested in your thoughts on the quality of the management at these companies. All are negative in my portfolio at this point. Could you rank them by below average, good(average) and above average?

Q: According to Dale Jackson on BNN Bloomberg today, it's a good idea to withdraw loose cash from the TFSA account before year end in order to add the amount to next year's contribution? Please explain because I don't see how moving cash out to put it back would be interesting.

Thanks
