Q: Would both these 2 ETF fall under Financial services? I have 25% holding in this sector and need to reduce and wonder which ETF would you sell to bring down the weight. Both are 5% weight in my RRSP account. I have also some other financial stocks in a non registered account but reluctant to sell as this would would create a capital gain and I have no loss to offset the gain with.

Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i! I have 44K in CPD in a non registered account which provides me monthly income via dividends. I prefer a stock which pays a decent dividend but also offers some growth. I would like to sell my CPD which has given me no growth and reinvest in better growth/ dividend paying stocks. Could you offer me the names of 5 such stocks?.
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Value investor with some growth, 78 years old with good pension. I am slightly overweight in financials as above. I now see that I own both BKCC and HMAX. I do not seem to need both. I intend to sell BKCC and buy AW.UN to take advantage of its current situation. Does this sound like a plan or are there pitfalls?
Thank you

Q: 5i and I agree on the importance of good management teams (think CSU and ATD). I'm inclined to pin the giant mess TD has created with money laundering woes in the US on its management team and most especially the CEO and Board. Do you agree and if so, would it not be prudent to stick with other banks until we see changes in the upper ranks of TD?

Q: My husband is 8 years away from retirement and wants to buy dividend stocks to leave mostly alone (not checking daily like me!) - he'll check in on it now and then. This is the list he's come up with - slightly higher positions in BCE, BPF.UN and slightly lower in AW.UN, CAR.UN and OLY, otherwise fairly evenly split. Do you see this a good list for his purposes, and is there anything you would leave off, or add? Any other alarm bells? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i
TD Canada Trust has a net operating cash flow of -31,114,000 $. Its free cash flow is -33,078.000 $. The total dividends paid is 8,298,000 $. The total liability is 1,844,917,000$. Are we in trouble? I would tend to keep it if dividends hold, otherwise look for something else. I also have BNS and it seems to be recovering as is TD. As you keep advising, best policy is do nothing. Does this still hold for these? I have a ten year + time frame and am a value investor at 76 years young and do not now need ready cash.
