Q: Hello 5i
I have CLF at 6% weight, the highest of the portfolio. I am tired of seeing it constantly dropping over these many years. Would it be of a benefit to exchange this for XLB with the higher dividends and what appears to be an up trend over time? I am 73 with a 60 /40 split, value investor seeking dividends holding some growth equities among the blue chips.
Thank you
Stanley

Q: Hi,

Looking for a long term hold, preferably lo-volatility and some growth. I own the banks, AQN, BAM, and ZQQ. Can you recommend your top two picks and why?

Q: Hi 5i team: I am looking to add to my portfolio an International ETF ex Canada (in US dollars), I want to get more ex-Canada diversification. Am leaning toward XAW:U (shares Core MSCI All Country World ex-Cda) as it seems to get high marks from the research I have done. Could you suggest another 2 or 3 as alternatives in US dollars. What do you think of VT ? Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: RE: Nov 12, 2019 Q: I found your response to Leonard’s question regarding which accounts international ETFs are best placed quite interesting.

When both (a) VWO's extra withholding tax and (b) VEE's better return than VWO (longer term - 7 years) factors are considered together, which has produced the best 'real' return (and be likely to in the future)?

VEE vs VWO Performance (approx):
- VEE: Dividend: 2.8% 7-Year: +36.9% YTD: +9.2%
- VWO: Dividend: 2.7% 7-Year: +5.5% YTD: +7.6%

Thanks!

Q: I've read some comments posted about CCL and it being a dog. Even with the drop today the total return YTD is north of 8%. Not a home run by any means like BYD, AAPL, CSU or some others but in the grand scheme of things 8.5% is not what i would consider a dog. Now if you want a dog just mention Concordia Healthcare or Advanz Pharma as they are known as now. at pretty much a 100% loss that is what I consider a dog. Compares to that I'll take CCL's performance any day. Just my perspective
