Q: Hi 5i,
I have owned Verizon for some time. Although the dividend has been solid and I am up over purchase I'm wondering if you think there might be another better alternative at this time? My Cdn. content is at suggested levels so maybe a US or International option.? Whatever you think.
Thanks again,

Q: Hi, Is there a site giving the actual yield of all the HISA ETF’s? The distributions are already decreasing. I guess they are pretty similar, but they change monthly. PS: I do not think the dividend/yield on 5iResearch MarketData are up-to-date. Thanks.

Q: I read a more detailed US legal article on the TD money laundering scandal in NY/NJ and was quite disturbed. It has been a core holding of mine for a full decade. Thinking of taking it down from a full to a half position while the DOJ probe and further sanctions play out. Would you caution against this at this time (with damage already done to stock) or do you think its a prudent move?

Q: Hi,
I'm just reading about Gates joining Buffett in selling what seems to me to be a large amount of the above noted stocks, and I'm wondering if you've any thoughts on it. Is this typical for these two powerhouse guys to do this every once in a while, or might this time be different? Given the political situation in the US and other, global issues, I have to wonder if they are in a better position than most to have insight on something. I realize this is a speculative question, but would still value your opinion - many thanks!
