Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Just read your answer to Stuart. We keep a spreadsheet on Google Sheets that automatically "captures" price data from Google Finance, and unfortunately Google Finance doesn't provide Aequitas prices. Any ETFs or stocks listed with Aequitas have to be manually entered. :( Other than that, I suppose that Aequitas is "okay".

Q: Hi 5i team. My RIF account has only ETF's except for ENB which is 8.8%. I have 15%EM, 21.3%INT, 21.3%US, 31.5%CDN, and my Fixed Inc. at 4.6% in Pimco PMIF. I am thinking of selling half (or more) of ENB and increasing PMIF or should I put into Pimco IGCF (not in your database) or some other you suggest.
As usual I appreciate your views and suggestions. I am 80, healthy and fully retired. Thanks.

Q: The question is in relation to a Cash Acct. which collectively yields sufficient dividends to support all necessary expenses on a yearly basis. The makeup includes the following:
AQN, DRG.UN, LNR, WSP, PKI, EIF, RBC Dividend Fund(all Cdn.. Bks), RBC as well as KEY & PPL which have been held for over 8 yrs. A large capital gain will result if either is sold but will be mostly offset by old losses. My question is which of the two do you recommend selling & suggestions for at least 2 GROWTH dividend yielding replacements. Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon team
I’m looking to add to the income side of my portfolio and already hold 10-15% of ZPR and CPD.
I’d like to add another 5% to the income side of my portfolio so which one or two options do you advise?
I’m looking for more income with little or no growth as my equity weighting is fairly high in dividend paying stocks as well as growth stocks already?
Thnx in advance!
