Q: Hi Guys,

My 82 year old parent's new financial advisor ( the other one just disappeared without notice) has propose the following for their TFSA:
Mr.; MER Allocation
Fidelity Global Monthly Income F .80% 20%
Fid Monthly Income F .70% 20%
Fiera Income Opportunities F .82% 20%
First Trust Senior Load ETF ? 10%
Northwest Healthcare Property 10%
Pro Real Estate Inv. Trust 10%
Healthcare Leader Inc Fund EFT ? 10%

Mrs.;
Dynamic Blue Chip Eq. Fund FE ? 30%
Dynamic Global Value Fund DSC ? 3%
Dynamic Stragic Yield Fund LL ? 21%
Fidelity Strategic Income Fund F .75% 26%
Cibc Cdn Equity Auto ? 6%
CI High Income FE ? 8%
CI High Income Dsc ? 6%

Both are low income and live off their dividends.

What I am looking for is a general answer; yes it looks OK or are they still paying way too much for fees (the advisor is charging 1% + to handle their investments).

thanks,

Jim

Q: I am down about 10% in my holdings of Loblaws. I would like to crystallize the capital loss to offset capital gains. Would you suggest a switch to George Weston for a holding period of 5 years or more, or would you suggest sitting on the sidelines for 30 days and buying back into Loblaws.
Thanks
David

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have a hard time understanding the recent drop of Gold and, in contrast, the sharp rise in base metals. I thought the former was a hedge against uncertainty and inflation and the latter to be a reflection of supply & demand.
Thanks,

Q: Hi team, Has your outlook on Linamar shifted since the US election? Do you still see a medium or long term upside? I am about 35% down and concerned that it really might not come back. Thanks!

Q: Please comment on Corby's most recent quarter. Does the Trump anti-trade stance affect Corby's any more than other stocks?
Also, they have paid special dividends in the past, do you foresee the likelihood of a special dividend in 2017?
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Please comment on Fiera's quarter and some of their recent initiatives; i.e. their offer to Acquire Charlemagne Capital Limited, their Centria acquisition and new management appointments. Is there a Trump effect one way or another on this stock? Still a good buy for growth and income??

Q: Roger's Sugar has pulled back about 10% from its high in Sept. Does this seem like a good entry point with a yield of ~ 6%. Is the outlook for sugar pricing positive at this time? Many Thanks for a great service. Don

Q: Hello,

I am looking at CBI, Chicago Bridge and Iron. Do you know the company and how would you rate them? Thank-you.

Q: Hi, ENB and BIP make up up 16% of my equity portfolio (8% each), plus I own BAM at 4%. I've been considering a trim but they've been the stalwarts of my portfolio and I've been skeptical of a big inflation/interest rate increase. Now, with talk of Trump's inflationary fiscal policy, do you think it's time to reduce these stocks? or do you feel the benefit of infrastructure spending will offset the negative effects of rate increases on these stocks?
Thanks.
