Q: A follow up on your recent response regarding XHY and BSJK.
What is the difference in risk factors comparing these two funds if interest rates rise as expected over the next 2-3 years.
I would expect BSJK to act like a single bond held to maturity ( 4% annual return with 100% of the principal returned in 2020 ). XHY yields 5.3% but rising rates could substantively reduce its value, resulting in a net loss if redeemed in 2020. Am I understanding this correctly?

Q: Hi,
I remain somewhat confused about which account it's best to hold Dividend paying stocks in. I've noticed some responses where you indicate it's best to hold the dividend payers in non registered accounts and higher growth stocks (capital gainers) in a registered TFSA or RRSP account.
For whatever reason, I assumed the opposite as I thought receiving dividends was more along the lines of receiving income (i.e.- cash) so it would be best to put these into your registered accounts to lower the tax bill.
So, in my situation, as I receive approx 60k in annual pension income- am I better to put the dividend payers into the registered or non registered accounts to keep the tax bill as low as possible.
Thank you.

Q: How vulnerable do you see telecomm sector profits and dividends, and BCE's situation in particular, to (i) major advertisers moving advertising dollars from traditional TV to social media and video streaming platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, etc, and (ii) to a continuing trend to consumers eliminating traditional home phones? Thank you.

Q: Can you provide me with a list of ~6 high dividend yield companies 5i would recommend? An assortment of small, medium, and large caps with varying levels of risk and potential for growth for me to consider would be great. I would like to take advantage of the dividend tax credit so these companies would need to have their pay out qualify for that. Thank you.
