Q: Hi 5i Research. I have all the above ETFs in my RRIF. Does it make sense to combine all of these ETFs into one. If so, would XSB be a suitable choice? Thanks very much. Ron

Q: I presently have QQQ and VIG in a USD TFSA, in roughly equal weightings. I'm looking to add one or possibly two more USD ETFs to this TFSA account to diversify a bit more, resulting in rougly 33% or 25% equal weightings depending on whether I end up with three or four in total. If adding just one I would be willing to sacrifice some growth opportunity in favour of some stability and yield in the roughly 3-4% (+/-) range, if possible. If adding two I would prefer something just as described, plus something growth oriented with little or no yield. I'm hoping to minimize duplication or overlap with the existing QQQ and VIG combination, to the extent possible. These would all be securities purchased in USD for long term term holds, and I am not too concerned about the withholding tax on US dividends in a USD TFSA. Can you offer some suggestions? Thanks.

Q: In a rising rate environment I would like to own a stock that has a reasonable dividend and good prospects for growth, I assume you agree with this thesis.
I’m considering buying one of AQN or CSH.UN. Both have approximately the same dividend.
My question is which would you choose as having the greater growth prospects or do you have what you consider a better choice.

Q: Hi 5i Team.

Really enjoy this service.

I am primarily an income investor and will be retiring within the next few months.

No pension.

Need to make some adjustments to my non-income holdings.

Have most of the Income Portfolio.

Looking for 5 - 10 new ideas. Preferably with a little higher yield but still reasonably safe and enough growth to keep up with inflation.

Thanks very much for you help.

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

On November 3rd subscriber Peter' asked;

"Top USD stocks for dividend income please."

Your answer offered a number of suggestions all of which indeed generate good dividends but offer minimal (for the most part) in the way of capital gains.

Can you please tell me how your answer might have been different if the question had asked for;

"Top USD stocks for dividend income which have the potential for good growth/capital gains moving forward please."

Thanks for all you do

Q: They've had a great run, I've owned it for probably 10 years, and every time I think the story has stalled out, they seem to do another consequential acquisition. Blow-out numbers, particularly on the organic side, and raised dividend significantly. Do you see any issues with this one, or steady as it goes?
Thank you as always...

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

We need to increase our Telecom exposure in our non-registered account. Is Telus investable today for a long-term hold, or should we wait for a pullback? Alternatively, since we also need to increase our US exposure, would you be OK with VOX (or similar ETF) instead of T, or would tax consequences make VOX or another US-based ETF a poor choice in an unregistered account? As always, thanks for your valued advice.

Q: My question involves a Co. which has doubled in value and pays a 4% dividend.

Example Paid $5. per share with 4% dividend. Now Co. worth $10. so dividend
rate is now 8%.

Hold or sell the Co.? What is your rational on long term holds where the dividend effectively doubles with the doubling of the fmv of the stock?
