Q: Hi,

We could very well be heading into stagflation, which I understand to be slowing or negative growth, high unemployment, weak demand and rising inflation.

In such a scenario, which would be the best stocks or ETFs to favour ?

Many thanks,

Q: In the 2008 financial crisis Manulife a good mom and pop steady dividend payer cut its dividend that many small investors depended on and Manulife took over a decade to start to recover.

Q: Someone asked a question about T1135s and ETFs and your response was that if the fund is domiciled in Canada a T1135 wasn't required. Could you publish a list of which funds are and aren't? This would be helpful in selecting which ones to avoid if you want to reduce your tax paperwork.
