Q: As a place for short term cash I have the max amount in Oaken Financial, that is covered by CDIC. Being that it is owned by Home Capital, and the news from there seems to be mostly negaive lately, would it be better to move to another high interest savings account for a holding tank. I don't want to have to go through the CDIC to get my money.
Do you have another suggestion?
I really do appreciate your service, and have begun to rely on it, so Thank You.

Q: Having announced an intention to reduce its holdings in Enbridge Inc. (ENB), has Holdings indicated the extent of the reduction and how the funds will be reinvested? Why would they do this except as part of a long term goal of being an independent conglomerate rather than a funnel for ENB?

Q: $IDV: iShares International Select Dividend ETF. I'm wondering your thoughts on this ETF - would you recommend holding this as a way to diversify dividend income outside of North American equity, as we don't follow much for international equities. Morningstar mentioned that it outpaced the category average by 80 basis points annualized, but with greater volatility, so its risk-adjusted performance was slightly below average. Are there any alternatives you would recommend instead?

Q: Do all four of these have dividends that are taxed differently and therefore shouldn't be in a non-registered? Does this apply to a TFSA as well, as foreign income I believe is taxed in a TFSA?

Where should I hold each of these? in an RRSP, TFSA or non-registered?

Q: Team,
Just like your thoughts on the listed stocks and which you would add ( in some order of preference) to an existing portfolio skewed to secure dividends and modest growth with a target 7-8% combined dividend and growth. Conversely is any one a definite NO.
Thx
