Q: Can you advise as to a hands off type of income fund or etf that is most likely not to return capital.should these be avoided to have a more accurate income with less year end adjustment for tax purposes? Do you think the vanguard ones as per vbal would most likely do this?I have held xtr in the past and it does need to ret.cap. to keep up with the high yield. Any reflection on this and suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi
Do you know when ENB plans to buy ENF? And, please advise your favorite Canadian dividend grower that yields over 4.5 %. I, like others, will be overweight ENB when this deal consumates. So I will need a replacement. Thanks Frank

Q: I recently saw Phil Davis suggest that the stock market reacted very negatively during Nixon's presidency when members of his inner circle were indited and that this was a good time to go to mostly cash. Can you please comment on whether you think this is good advice for investors and if it is historically accurate. Any other opinions you have with regard to Trump's presidency affecting the market would also be appreciated. Use as many credits as you think appropriate.

Q: I follow your growth portfolio (with a long term horizon) and own some RRX shares (very small position). So obviously we are both down on this one. Unless there is another offer, am I correct in assuming that you will wait for the best price you feel you can get for RRX to minimize overall impact to the growth portfolio? If so, I'm thinking that selling my RRX shares when you do (i.e. after you issue a change to the growth portfolio) is probably the best course of action. Essentially, I'm looking for clarification on how to use 5i's service effectively now and in the future. Thank you.

Q: I would like to start accumulating the stocks in your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I own BNS and SLF in DRIPs as well as TSGI and RHT in my RRSP. I am overweight in financials with DRIPs for NA and BMO. I have small investments in Telus, TRP, SU, and BCE. These are all also DRIPs.
I am quite torn as to where to start. I don't like many of the valuations including that of CSU. If the valuations were lower, I would not be posing this question. I have lots of cash in my TFSA, RRSP, and spousal RRSP. I realize this is not great as the money is not being put to good use. Any suggestion would help.

Q: Would you support buying CU for income at this time? Is the price likely to decline further? As of today, the stock price is close to it's 52 week low of $30.80. I'm attracted to the 4.73% yield and the 10% dividend increases. If not CU, what else looks like an attractive buy for a longterm dividend income portfolio. (No banks please. I have plenty of bank stocks.)
