Q: If one was new to investing, with a $5OK account, interesting in monthly income with some growth would a mix of SPLT and ZLB be good advice i.e. 60% SPLT and 40% ZLB. ZLB to focus on low volitile stocks and SPLT for safe monthly income of 6% with some growth. Any other ideas?

Q: Good evening 5i,

I have held ZLB for some time and while happy with the holding as part of my portfolio, I am considering a switch to HDIV. It would continue to be a long term hold.

Based on past perfromance, I don't see that the ZLB provides that much less volatility protection over HDIV to justify the higher fees and lower yield.

I would certainly appreicate your thoughts.

Thanks

Q: According to my TD research, on a 1, 3, and 5 year basis, ZLB has outperformed ZCN despite ZLB's higher MER and lower dividend. Is that a reasonable apples to apples comparison? I'm wondering if it's worth it to sell my ZLB and buy ZCN or does it all work out to about the same? Thanks. And belated Happy Thanksgiving
