Q: Because of my age and possible future need for income, amount and security, I am pondering the addition of the following ETF’s. I am indicating the present and after purchase weighting in my portfolio. ZWU ( 3% - 5%), XHY (1% - 3%), XTR (0% - 5%). My portfolio is reasonably well
diversified with about 95% blue chip (28) common shares. Can you please comment on the appropriateness of my proposed purchases, given your limited knowledge of my portfolio.

The composition of XTR i shares includes other I share ETF’s so if I were to purchase this security I would be effectively duplicating management fees and further increase my exposure to XHY, which is held in XTR.

Thank you for considering this questions

Q: Hello Peter,
I have done well on bombardier and was thinking of selling my position and adding to alimentation couche tard to bring to 5% weight given the current debate on the control structure. The stock is down on the news and was wondering if the switch would make sense given Bombardier is more speculative, but 5% weighting of couche tard makes me a bit nervous. Please advise.

Q: I have IKM in my TFSA, down 46%. Everything else in that account is doing well but I also have $13K in cash. What is the outlook for IKM and what suggestions can you give me for the cash. I currently have TPK, EQB, and PHO. Overall, I tend to be a value investor, like dividends and am somewhat aggressive.
