Q: Re: XEG
Hi Peter:
I bought some XEG for my TFSA at around $ 18 about 18 months ago
I am under water
I think the seasonal trade for energy sector to go up is around the summer, so I am hanging on before selling it to move
to some dividend stocks like BCE, IPL.
When does the normal seasonal trend for the oil and gas stock
normally peaks ? Thanks

Q: Re: ZWB-T
Hi Peter and Crew,
Thanks you for the great answer on the BMO ZEB-T (equal weight Canadian Banks) vs. purchasing 20% each of the big 5.
As a followup question, can you highlight some advantages or potential risks of the BMO Covered Call Canadian Banks fund (ZWB-T). From my analysis, the CC strategy does produce a higher yield. Tempting, but the one year total performance appear to be very similar. What "gotcha's may be out there ?
Thanks for a great service !

Q: I am a new member and a long time fan of Peter Hodson and Canadian MoneySaver.
Question: Since bond returns are so poor and now there is a risk of losing capital too, what is an investor to do? I don't feel comfortable being 100% in equity even if it is well diversified and dividend producing. Any ideas?

Q: Hi Peter and others,
I am thinking of adding some banks to my portfolio. Do you see an advantage (and would advise) a fund approach (example: the BMO offering of ZEB-T (equal weight Canadian Banks) vs. a purchase of the same amount divided up at 20% each of the 5 major banks. I am looking for both income and growth (a greed thing I guess - tee hee).
Thanks for your answer and thanks for the great "and especially unbiased" service

Q: Both Pref Share etf's and High Yield Bond etf's dropped in price a lot in the last month with expectations of interest rate rises; but the High Yield Bond etf's have recovered nicely in the last week, while Pref share etf's are still down. Is there a reason for the High Yield Bonds significantly outperforming Prefs recently? What do you see going forward?
Q: Having reasonably balanced portfolios in my regular and RRIF accounts would VCE be an appropriate holding for a TFSA?
