Q: HELLO TEAM... I am building a small cap dividend income portfolio as part of an overall income plan-it will comprise only 5-10% of my overall portfolio ( mainly for diversification). The names I have chosen so far include DBM, CJR.B. KPT, TTR-all nice dividends with some growth potential. Do you have any other ideas for this adventure ...once again many thanks regards gary

Q: What do you think of the TD all in one portfolios? They seem to offer some active management that the vanguard and share all in one portfolios do not offer. They allocate a certain portion to technology etc. Are they worth it?

They list the MER at 0.25 but also list a management fee, having a hard time figuring out the total fees.

Torn between doing something like this or creating my own portfolio with 6 ETFs.

Q: This company advertises that both Eric Sprott and First Majestic are investors. Are the size of these investments significant enough to indicate a fairly strong conviction?

On the Insiders report on your site I see the following during Sept 2020:
Shares Traded: 4,621,241
Transaction: Buy under a prospectus exemption at $1.40 per Share
Value: $6,469,737.00
Shares Held: 0

There are three separate transactions listed with the same figures, except that one shows Shares Held as > 0.

What should this tell me? Why is "Shares Held" = 0 after two of the transactions?

Thanks,
