Q: This Vancouver-based REIT pays monthly dividends in USD. Can you suggest other Canadian-based equities that also pay their dividends in USD. As a snowbird, it would be much more efficient to receive some regular income in USD.

Q: Hi Peter and team again
I am looking at my SDRIF.
I have TD and RY in this account. TD has grown to a 10% stake, so I am thinking of selling 50%. What replacement do you recommend? BNS or XCI or other.?
I also have VISA in this account that has been flat all year, also being a 10% stake, I can sell 50% or all. Was thinking of SLF, PWF or STB. I would really like to have high yield investments here. Do you have any other high yield investments to recommend?
I understand this account for two questions. No problems.
Thanks
Margita

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
In my telecom basket I have a small position in QBR. It has done well but wondering over a 10 year period if you think it's growth and low dividend are likely to exceed those of BCE ,T,RCI, SJR or CCA
Thanks for all you do

Q: In my 35-stock portfolio, I have a 9% overall weighting in the following:
ALA - 3%
ENB - 2.5%
TRP - 2.1%
BEP.UN - 1.4%
I am assuming that 9% is an "okay weighting" for this group (?) but my main question is, whether or not you see too much overlap in these stocks.
I know this group provides a mixture of storage and pipelines that move shale oil, crude, gas, etc. I also have exposure to renewable energy which has kept me from investing in other power-related stocks such as Fortis and Canadian Utilities.
Do you have any concerns about the weighting or overlap?
By the way, the only energy stock I have is TOU - 1.2%, if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
Jim

Q: I have an allocation of about $66k for non Canada/USA equity Etfs. For maximum diversification (by country) Should I be looking at a few different ETF's in different regions (BRIC/Asia/Japan/AU) - or should I be buying one or two World (ex USA/Canada) ETF's - If so what what are your top 2 or 3. - Also is there a very broad international bod ETF as well?
Q: Any thoughts?
Q: I'm 56 years old with no fixed income and have been quite comfortable with this choice up until now. I recently have decided to have 5% in fixed income but have no knowledge on bonds. I have a balanced portfolio of stocks and try and hold 5% in cash to take advantage of good stocks in a down market. I was thinking of VAB and a 5 year GIC for fixed income. What are your thoughts and recommendations. Have a wonderful holiday to all at 5i and your families. Merry Christmas!
