Q: LIF just raised its divi. By 20%. SO IT now has a 20% yield.! The market so far this a.m. does not like it. Should one be ready to sell perhaps after the payout on the 28th of SEPTEMBER.? This seems too good to be true.
Thanks as always

Q: From the growth portfolio (or possible contenders for it) which would be your top 3 or 4 choices to buy now?

Thank you

Q: Dear Peter and the team:

Nice articles as always in this month's Canadian Money Saver. Enjoyed the article by Sandi Martin on RESPs. I hope you can clarify something for grandparents like us!
The article doesn't address this specific issue.

On September 02, 2020, an article in the Globe mentions that one can safely contribute 14000 $ to the RESP. One can continue to contribute 2500 $ a year as well to benefit from the matching Govt grant. (500 $ max) until one reaches 50000 $. I have included the link to that article here.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/globe-advisor/advisor-news/article-three-important-facts-about-resps-that-canadians-need-to-know/

Is it okay to gift to one's grandchild's RESP 14k during the early years? I know one will NOT get the Govt Grant for this amount. If one buys a low fee, growth oriented ETF, will this approach yield better result than the ones cited in CMS article?

Your input is always appreciated.

Mano.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Q: I bought IFP at $35 for the special dividend. I'm now wondering if I'll ever see that price again given the price of lumber, and the outlook for it. Would you hold, or sell? Thanks

Q: In an answer to a question about MRS you stated that you are only willing to give it a short leash. What does that mean?

At what point would you sell or lighten up your position that is down over 50% from where it was recommended?

Q: Would like your suggestion of a US stock (any sector) that would provide 3-4 % dividend with modest growth for long term hold. Thanks so much.

Q: Hello team,

This is a comment from Yellen:

a delay could "cause irreparable damage to the U.S. economy and global financial markets."

Your opinion on this article would be much appreciated. How can we protect against such a scenario?

Q: You guys are the masters of understatement. Better use? No kidding. LOL.

"We think the cash could be put to better use and will be selling the full position as we begin to re-position the portfolio for next year."
