Q: Hi,
I'm a longer term investor with a medium risk appetite and I was interested in Healthcare stocks but wonder if I have missed the boat?
Can you recommend any CDN healthcare stock or etf with 2-5% dividend or US ETF?
Can you give me your thoughts on OHI? I'm interested in it because it had a a major pullback recently, unlike the others Healthcare ETFs, and it sports a hefty dividend.

Q: HI enjoyed watching your show on BNN. I am having trouble spending the time to pick and analyze individual stocks and I am looking to slowly switch to ETF based investments. So I took a small 1000 share position in ZMI and I am thinking of just gradually adding to it over time as money becomes available inside my RRSP. I am looking to retire in about 5-6 years. I noticed you haven't commented on ZMI, thoughts? Thanks

Q: Good morning,
I have a few questions on bond etf's:
Could you please offer your feedback on bond etf's and specifcially XSB, both as a long term holding in the current environment as well as a place to park cash that may be needed over the next 6 to 12 months.
Also, any feedback on XCB and XGB would also be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Brad

Q: Thanks for your excellent site.
I would like to invest 20% of my RIF into a Balanced (or other low risk alternative)ETF or MF to replace my Bond investment and improve the return of my portfolio.
I do not depend on my RIF for a living and my risk tolerance is average.
Your view and advise please

Q: Hi Peter and Team
I am a timid do-it-yourselfer Senior and do appreciate the service that you and your team provide.
My question is about the treatment of an ETF, by the CRA, that is sold on both the TSX and NY, under different symbols. My example is the Vanguard ETF VIG and VGG, and there are others. They are both the same fund since VGG holds VIG as its sole holding. However VGG is sold on the TSX in Cdn dollars while VIG is sold on the NY exchange in US $. VGG is not hedged. Is VGG treated as a Canadian ETF and if so what implications does that hold for tax purposes since it has US holdings. They each pay a dividend in US$ and I would assume there would be a 15% withholding tax on each of them. Perhaps you might also comment on the requirement by the CRA to state whether or not one has $100 000 in foreign assets on one's tax return and what implications if any there are with purchasing either of these type of twin ETF's into one's portfolio. I would appreciate any clarification that you might provide.
Many thanks
Bill

Q: On WXM, the Momentum ETF, the NAV when assessed in May was $8 mm. Now it is $36 mm. Do you consider this still too small and if so at what point would it be deemed to have adequate liquidity? I see the portfolio of 30 names has many components of the 5i model portfolio and I like the concentration of stocks. Thanks, J.
