Q: Hi, I am currently retired and my income comprise of 60% from a non-indexed DB pension and 40% of dividend income. I hold about 20% (12% in RRSP, 5% in Non RRSP and 3% in TFSA) of BNS stocks in my portfolio and would like to reduce that percentage to around 10% for diversification. Are there any ETFs which can provide similar dividend yields as BNS that you would recommend or should I leave it as is at this time? Thanks again for your great help.

Q: I have the following in an RESP (CU has 25%, rest are about 15-20%)

POW
CIBC
BMO
CU
BCE

I'm thinking of replacing CU with OSB - 12 yr time horizon, the fact that OSB is in the trough of it's cycle, has a solid dividend and low debt makes me think that over a 12yr hold I should be able to get a higher return (implied selling into a housing boom).

What are your thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i and team
I presently own WSP which ran up to 5% of holdings and SIS. I'm considering selling SIS and adding BYD.UN and or CAE. That move could bring me to 10% industrial. Should i trim WSP and keep industrial to a prefered percentage or Let it run which brings Me to my other question if allowed. I get confused with all sectors ie: cyclical, non cyclical, defensive etc...i would prefer having 7 if possible. I'd appreciate your thoughts with this.
Thanks for your valuable advice as always.

Q: Does the legal action started have any possibility? Most of these issues end up dying a slow death. Shareholders have been deceived but whether there is sufficient fact here is questionable as is the usual response of the TSX and authorities to simply allow managements actions that are clearly against minority shareholders wishes. It would be nice to see some teeth in investor law.
