Investment Q&A

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

Q: I, like everyone like rising share values but as an investor still in the accumulating phase of life, lower share prices equal more shares bought every quarter or month. If one is in invested in decent financial instruments and payouts are not cut then the price of the underlying security does not matter unless you have to sell. I remember 2000 and 2008/9. We were due for a correction and we will again survive. Just my two cents worth, Steve

Q: Looking to add a US financial. I already own MFC, RY, TD, BNS, JPM. I'm looking for a 6-7% total return so I don't really need to get too aggressive. Was thinking about GS. Any other recommendations that would fit my criteria? Thanks

Q: Good evening 5i.

I just want to say I have enjoyed this forum lots over the past year and it has helped me stay in the game.

My question is.

I need ideas for a few dividend etfs for my non-registered portfolio. To date I'm holding some large cap Canadian dividend stocks and fixed income. I find it easier to manage with less stocks and a few etf.
I now have 10% CDZ in my RRSP, would it make sense to put CDZ in my non-registered also?
Is CDZ dividend taxed the same as a Canadian stock dividend when held in a non-registered account?


Thanks Steve

Q: Good Morning, Gentlemen;
I have a position in IPL at around $25.80 per share. I have the ability to add more (doubling in size my position, which would put me at 10% of my portfolio) at these levels but I'm hesitant because of the steep drop in share price.
My question is this: is this a sector weakness or is there something intrinsic with the company performance that may be driving the stock to these low levels (and very high dividend)? The current price as I write this is $22.73. I am investing for long term, reliable dividends.
Thanks!
John
