Q: If now is a good time to begin putting 12% cash to work increasing our USA div. income to balance our RRIF withdrawals for a mid 70s couple what stocks or etfs would you recommend. We currently own VZ@ 1%, QCO M@1% VGG 1% and VUN 3% to top up.
According to your portfolio analysis we need more US communication, US industrial, and US basic materials. Is it better to have div. income from Canada than US in our RRIF plans?
Would also like to switch our 3.5% position of IYT to div. position.
Take as many question as needed. Thanks

Q: ALA has been weak lately. The stock is still up about 30% since Jan 1st but lower over one year. Do you think the weakness is related to selling the remaining portion of their Canadian spin-off or just normal trading? Looking at the one year chart it appears some sellers could be taking profits and others could be crystallizing capital losses. I don't think volume has significantly picked-up during the decline - the stock just tends to drift lower.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: Could you please explain "after hours trading".
It doesn't seem like a very equitable concept.
Thanks
