BMO Covered Call Dow Jones Industrial Average Hedged to CAD ETF (ZWA $25.73)
-
BMO US High Dividend Covered Call ETF (ZWH $23.39)
Q: What percentage would you put into each of ZWA (hedged) and ZWH (unhedged), for long term, as a rule of thumb, without knowing the rest of one's portfolio, but figure it's a reasonable percentage of one's U.S. component. Thanks for your advice.
Q: As an additional comparison to my question of jan.11 re: xtr and zmi do you feel plv would be a better long term hold with more upside potential considering the payout is much more in line with a sustainable payout with maybe not having to rely on roc to meet the higher payout s of the xtr and zmi ? Also would consider any of these to be overvalued and or should an investor wait out a market correction? Thank you kindly Larry

Q: I currently bought Enbridge and would like to buy either WCP or RRX ,should I buy both or just one? My Enbridge is 4% weight in my account so if I buy both at a 2.5 % weight then I will be up to 9% and would this be too much for this sector?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and 5i staff,
I have a portfolio of Canadian stocks with reasonable sector weightings. If I were to add an ETF like VFV comprising of US Stocks, my weightings would seem quite high in many of the sectors. Do I need to re-balance ?
Thanks for all the great advice.

Q: 5i has pointed to RPI.un as a way to play the online shopping and package shipping theme. I’ve been very happy with this high-yielding, thin-trading stock since late 2013, but am wondering if there is any particular reason it is up sharply today. I couldn’t find any news and trading volume is not offering any clues.
Thanks for the excellent service and your useful insights.

Balanced Equity Portfolio (BEPORT)
Q: This list of companies from the Balanced Portfolio were all beaten up a bit last year. Which of these do you now consider buying opportunities? Are any of these on your list to watch & discard if performance doesn't improve? If I were to add some of these to my relatively diverse portfolio, how would you order them in terms of anticipated total returns?
