Q: I have BNS at 3% in my TFSA and have been considering switching to BAM.A.CA for diversification in the financial sector and for possible increased growth. I realize the dividend from BAM is less than BNS and am not aware of which currency BAM is paid out in. I would appreciate your input re pro /con of making this switch.

Q: Hi folks, what is typically the best week to pick up quality companies that have been subject to tax selling? I'm sure waiting until end of December is too long, but right now likely too early. Is there a typical week where these stocks are at their bottom?

Q: Hi 5i team,
These two stocks, which are in the Balance portfolio, had a lot of happenings in the past few days. GIL posted negative news while GUD posted positive news. Is it a good time to initiate a 4% position in one or both stocks ? Would it be prudent to add to these two stocks right now, or better to wait till the dust settles.
Thanks

Q: For my fixed income side of my portfolio I've just been keeping cash in a high interest savings account (Achieva Financial in Manitoba). It pays 2.3% interest. I just checked the yield to maturity of BND the US Vanguard bond ETF and it's 2.3%. The YTM for ZAG the Canadian BMO bond ETF is 2.2%. Hardly seems worth paying an MER and risking price fluctuations. What do you think, am I missing something here?
