Q: I currently owned both CM , TD and ZBK in a non rrsp account. I would like to sell CM. My total % holding in ZBK and TD are quite low . If I buy ZBK I still maintain the financial allocation but increase my US holding. I know I would lose the dividend that CM pay as ZBK is quite low, or would it be better to buy more TD and increase the weight of this stock.

Thanks

Q: High dividend stocks are getting hit today with exception of a couple of pipelines. Has something happened that the market now expects interest rates to move up?? Otherwise why are all these stocks being hit at the same time?

Q: Can you comment on OSTK? After a big drop, the stock started to go up. Is it a good time to buy? I am consider adding OSTK and ABBV in my RRSP portfolio. ABBV has a high dividend yield. I think it would be great hold in RRSP account.
