Q: Hi
My portfolio is mostly made up of canadain stocks. I do have approximately 20% in US and international etfs to diversify (split evenly). My 2 US ones have done ok over the last 5 yrs. the international, not so much. I’m not sure I’m in the best one/ones for either location. What would you recommend for long term etf/s hold. I have at least 15 yrs before needing the money for retirement. Thanks

Q: Hi guys,

I have large positions in Boardwalk REIT and InterRent REIT. I believe they provide good growth going forward and offer some geographic diversity by owning both of them. I am contemplating adding a third REIT (Killam) to the mix to further diversify into Atlantic Canada. I did some research and noticed that they develop a lot of their units and their portfolio is much newer then most multi family REIT. Is it too much to own 3 REITs. I want to focus on multi family since it is the most resistant to a recession. They are held in my RRSP. I know Killam is focusing 75% of its development and acquisitions outside of Atlantic Canada hoping to diversify its holdings. What are your thoughts?

Thank you,
Jason

Q: I have tracked my portfolio for years on Globe Fund for free , now they are holding people hostage to pay up or lose the data you have entered over the years. They are acting like a cable company paying for services that you don't use. Far as I know there is no way of transferring that data elsewhere.

Q: Hi,
Thanks always for your advice, it's been very helpful.
Part of my investing strategy is to hold company shares (where possible) in AST or Computershare so I can use the dripping programs for the tax break. I am down drastically with CJR.B - should I sell and move on? Also, I hold ENB, NTR and PPL all of which have suspended their drip programs. Are they worth holding, so I can do something with the cash dividends or should I move on from them. All of my moving on would be to purchase other companies that drip.
thanks
michele
