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

Q: I see PHO trades at a 2018 fiscal year p/e of 19 ( earnings this year expected to be 10.5 cents mean ) and it has a margin of 10%. QST trades at a p/e for current year of 9 ( 36 cents expected this year) and has a margin of 20%. Granted QST does not have the cash balance per share that PHO has, is this mismatch of values because analysts like tech more than oil service( even though I think QST is a tech company) and PHO may be a buyout target or are there other variables at play?

Q: Hello: I currently own ZQQ yield of .52% and ZUE yield of 1.5%. I find that HBF has a much higher yield of 7.1% and will basically mimic the first two etfs, would you agree? Is HBF a reliable etf, if yes should I invest new money into it or use it as a replacement for either one or both of the other two. I’m retired and I am after some growth but mainly income.
Thanks

Q: Greetings,

I have some cash that I am planning on adding to my financial sector weightings - given the 20% fewer mortgages currently being written by the big banks, I suspect this will have some impact to their overall results. Given this and the insurers being cheaper right now, where would you add - the insurers or the banks.

Q: Over the last little while I purchased the above securities because of a rising rate environment. All have performed as expected except ECN.pr.A. Is there any particular reason for this. Would it be wise to average down . I’m still thinking that with rising interest rates their will be more demand for their services. What about the margin will this increase, decrease or stay the same ?
