Q: My wife has a portfolio that is structured for income and growth. It currently consists of 30% fixed income, 16% utilities and Canadian Banks, 10% REITS and the following ETF's: ZUB 5%, CDZ 6%,CUD 6%, XLK 2%, DIA 6% and TTFS 6%. There is a 6% cash balance that we would like to invest in an ETF. Would you add to one of the existing ETF's or is there another that would prefer to add? Thank you.
Q: My TFSA is fully topped up. I currently hold AVO, BNS, CCL.b, IPL and SPB. AVO has been been a disappointment but I'll hang in.

Q: What do you think of the ETF XIT? I dislike how it has a small market cap, holds pretty much only 4 companies, and has a high MER (0.6%) but I really like buying the tech sector on dips caused by broad-market scares. It is free to buy (and sell) in an iTrade account. Holdings: 23% CGI, 23% OpenText, 16% Constellation, 8% DH. And unfortunaly, 16% BlackBerry. Any thoughts about this ETF?

We have a Wealth Management team looking after the rest of our investments and they hold equities and fixed income. Averaging 45% equity and 55% fixed income. We are currently 65 and 69 years of age.

Q: Hello 5 I Team
My US Margin Account presently represents only 1% of my total holdings. I intend to make contributions to it later in the year, but for now I would like to see the money "do something" while it's sitting there. Rather than engage in any futile stock picking, I thought I would invest in an ETF which could provide consistent, if modest growth. To that end, I had my eye on the new ETF Direxion iBillionaire Index ETF, (IBLN), or the Market Vectors Wide Moat ETF, (MOAT). I would appreciate your opinion on these choices -- or your suggestion as to what might be a better stock to hold in this context. Thanks for your help.

Q: What would you recommend for Canadian index ETFs? I'd like to use one to add more diversification to my portfolio.
Q: At the suggestion of an acquaintance, we have held for a year now, HPR (Horizons Active Preferred Share ETF); HYI (HA High Yield Bond ETF) and XSB (iShares Canadian Short Term Bond). I know next to nothing about bonds and preferred shares. All I know is that they are all in the red! I am holding approx. 25K in each fund. We are close to retiring in the next two to three years. My question is, should we continue to hold them, or find something else? If the latter, your invaluable advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks. And all the best on your upcoming ride.

Q: I'm holding PHK (US) in my TFSA to get US dollars for travelling. Given interest rates will probably rise am I wise to hold or look at another high yielding US stock. If so what would you suggest? I'm not necessarily looking for growth. Also if I hang on to PHK how do you think it will react over a time period if rates only rise fractionally? As always, great answers to (my dumb) questions. Bob
Q: Hello peter.
First question for me. I have just sold bns due to all the problems in the world. I would like to be a bit more safe. Some of my investments in my riff are Provincial bonds. Some of them are coming due. Some of them were in the 4.5% and higher I should have taken longer terms. Are there any recommendation on your site on safe bonds, including provincial bonds or corporate bonds that are safe. Due to our age we are looking for maximum 5- 8 year laddered terms. Looking forward to your reply

Q: I have taken some profits from equities as I am rebalancing my allocation to a 75/25 split. However, now that I have increased cash what are recommendations for fixed income holdings? I am thinking ETF's such as HFR or do see other better options?
Thanks again for your great analysis and work

Q: Many of the large US banks are trading substantially below NAV. What do you think of their prospects for significant capital appreciation? Would ZBK be a good way play this prospect, or are there other ways you would prefer?
Thanks,
