Q: Would zlh be a fairly safe and effective investment for a 3 to 4 year holding? I need some more US exposure and would like to preserve my capital with some upside potential. Are their other low volatility US etf that you would prefer? Thank you.

Q: Good day 5i.
The only US position I now hold in my RRSP is ZWH.
I like this ETF, just leave it alone and let it spit money out.
I'm looking for another US ETF that will fit nicely with ZWH and t pays monthly. The new ETF position would be half the size of ZWH if that helps.

Thanks for you help.

Q: Seth Klarman has said that the greatest advantage an individual investor has is the abilty to have a long-term perspective. With that in mind, several years ago I had assembled a core 20/20 portfolio- 20 stocks for 20 years. They consist of:
CDA: TD, BNS, BCE, ATD.B, BAM.A, CSU, CGI, FTS, ENB, CN RAIL
USA: APPLE, GOOGL, AMAZON, VISA, BRK.B, MCD.

I also hold smaller quantities of utilities ( AQN, EMA, BIP.UN), small growth mutual fund (mawer global small cap) and reits for diversification. Can you help me complete my core 20/20 by suggesting 4-6 US DIVIDEND GROWTH STOCKS and perhaps 2 Canadian holdings that I should add or replace. Appreciate your excellent service as always.

Sincerely Ajay

Q: 5i
Oil represents about 5% of my portfolio and is comprised of Freehold, Vermillion, Surge and Whitecap. I cannot get a good feel as to where the price of oil is headed in the next 2 years. Appears to me there are conflicting views. Should I get out of the oil sector, invest in good dividend paying stocks that would be more stable and re enter the oil market or not at a later date. All my oil stocks do pay high dividends, are they sustainable. Appreciate your insight on both the oil market and potential stocks to invest in regardless of sector if you feel exiting the oil market may be the way to go.

Q: Dear 5i,
I would appreciate you comments on the following questions:
1. Does key management have meaningful share ownership in the company?
2. How long has key management been at the helm?
3. Would you expect any further dividend cuts?
4. Do you think their debt is manageable and reasonable?
5. Do they own any real estate. If yes, how much worth?

thanks

Q: Hello-I invested in both of the companies early this year. Williams share price has dropped and now yields an eye popping eight per cent. Is that sustainable? What are your thoughts on wmb. I am tempted to buy more. Also, Citibank gave a shout out to enbridge today and it’s current yields are also high. Your thoughts on enb please?
