Q: Recently I read John De Goey's Sept 2020 MoneySaver 'Portfolio Insurance' article. His custom-built inverse notes moderate risk by moving in the opposite direction of the market. He advises his clients to use them for up to 40% of their portfolio. Are there preferred Can and US ETFs that do the same thing, and what would your thoughts be about their use?

I have tried to moderate risk by building RRSP, TFSA and to a lesser extent, the unregistered accounts around all-in-one ETFs (VGRO, VBAL and VNCS) using specific growth or income stocks and bonds to augment the ETFs according to the type of account. The US side follow the same pattern but with themed ETFs (ARKK, ARKF, IHI, VIG, VDC, IWO, VHT, SPY). According to Port Analytics, I am sitting at approx 70% stock, 20% income, 8% cash and 2% diversified.

My thanks.

Q: We are in the process of transferring some under performing RRSP mutual funds to our self directed RRSP investment account. Our TSFA's have been maxed out with mostly growth oriented stocks. Presently, we have a smaller self directed RRSP with limited number of positions. With the transfer we will have a sizeable amount of money to reinvest in our RRSP accounts. Would it be advisable to mirror one of your model portfolios, or consider all the above positions and add accordingly?

Are there any of the listed companies you would suggest increasing positions on and any in which should not be added to at the present time?

Q: Hello 5i,

What do you think about the Uranium sector? Do you think it has peaked or there is a good chance it will still climb. Can you give me a rough estimate when the spot price will peak or be close to pre Fukushima days? Is there a good chance the spot price can reach pre-Fukushima days? I also find it very difficult to find a live price of uranium on the internet. Can you please recommend me a trustworthy phone app and website that can provide an accurate price for uranium? All the phone apps for stocks give the spot price for every metal except for uranium.

Thank-you kindly,
Adrian

Q: I have a held 4.7% position in Enbridge for 5yrs+, the average dividend yield over the period is 5.52% it will generate 5k in income for us this year. I would like to continue to hold all things being equal and the dividend not under serious risk. It would seem to me to keep the company strong they have to make a bigger push into renewable energy if this low carbon world is the future. Can you comment if you see Enbridge taking part this transition on the scale that's necessary and still keep the dividend reasonably secure.
