Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have a mixed basket of ETFs across assets types (equity, bond, preferred, etc...) in my TFSA for income.

I was looking at the dividend growth over the past 5 years and noticed that many of the ETFs have had a negative growth. Namely, bond indexes (VAB,XHY, HYI, and ZEF) have trended downward as well as prefs, REITs and europe/emerging equities (CPD, XRE, and ZWE).

I was wondering why that is? Is it because of low interest rates over the years or rising debt levels(or something worse)?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a simple question... because I do not want to make a mistake. I have just received my annual withdrawal amount which is due on April 30. If I withdraw this amount from my RRIF account and transfer it to my cash account now... will it be automatically withdrawn again on April 30? I do not want to make a payment twice. Thanks!

Q: What do you think of CVO at this moment and what can we expect of this stock in the medium / long term? What would be a good entry point and do you think that it would be a good addition to a well diversified portfolio or if you prefer something else? Feel free to make any suggestion that you would think might be superior.

Q: I know you generally recommend 10% as a maximum weighting for the energy sector. However my weighting in my unregistered Canadian cash account is now 32% because I followed Eric Nuttall and got in early. I am reluctant to sell for two reasons. One, I would face very substantial capital gains taxes. Two, I believe there is considerable further upside. I am a senior and my question is: is there any practical way of protecting these gains apart from significant selling? I would appreciate Peter's advice.

Q: If you had a well balanced portfolio and were looking to add some medium to small sized companies that were involved in industrial activity of various types, how would you feel about each of these companies on a scale of 1 to 10, with a 10 being a stock you definitely want to add right now, a 1 being a stock you have absolutely no interest in, and a 5 being a stock you thought was not bad, but not good enough to want to buy it.
