Q: Ours is a very conservative portfolio, with one third in dividend-paying equities, half of that individual stocks and half no-load funds. The latter's performance doesn't seem to justify the MER's so I would like to reduce, maybe eliminate, that cost, roughly $5,000 per year. Any thoughts you might have on how best to effect that change and what form that should take, eg less funds, more stocks and/or ETF's, will be much appreciated.

Q: I would like to divide $100,000.00 into 4 ETS of equal weights. Preferably high yield but still conservative. I have been trying to do it myself but I am overwhelmed by the choices. I currently have the two above but they may be too much the same.

Thanks for being there!

Q: What do you think about Strathbridge funds? As a retired income investor I like covered call funds as I do not mind missing the big upside for stead and reliable income. Their finds seem small and their 1.1% fee seems high for investing in blue chip TSX stocks but the &+% return is attractive.They say they us a propriety method of doing covered calls.
Dont ask many questions but am an avid reader of everyone elses.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: I own ZWB. When interest rates rise, I suspect that individual high quality rate reset preferreds will have a greater increase in price than ZWB. What do you think? If you agree, please provide the name of a few rate resets with the 5 year renewing base rate. Thanks.
