Q: I will probably be purchasing ZIN shortly. Regarding the quarterly dividend, does it matter when I buy ZIN? I know the Ex div date is Dec 27, so I need to buy it before that, so it settles prior to or on Dec 26. And theoretically in an efficient market, the price of ZIN will drop the amount of the dividend ($0.13) on that date. What's your experience...does the ETF share price drop actually resemble the dividend amount?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Afternoon 5i.

I'm looking for the top 3 sectors to buy into today.

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: I am wondering what is the reason CPD is at a lower level than the financial crisis of 2008. I am at a loss on it for a few years now and wondering if holding another year or two makes any sense.

Q: My fixed income PF % consist of CVD 1.85; XHY 2.10; CBO 1.87; CPD 1.81; and XTR 1.69 totalling 9.22.
Which one or two can I add to bring my total to 15%.
I am open to one new holding, as well. Thanks.

Q: Any comments on this ETF? The last comment was in 2018.Thanks Paul

Q: I would like more details on PHYS that was discussed briefly today. Apparently there is no dividend, EPS is $220, and Book value is $10.95. Since there is no dividend, is the EPS used to purchase more gold? Are there any MER or storage fees? How does it differ from PHYS.U (Sprott PHysical Gold Trust transferable redeemable units? Where can I find more details on those shares?
