Q: You have been quite negative in your commentary about Kraft Heinz. Unfortunately I hold it in my RRIF and hang onto it for the yield of about 6% at the current price. Since I need the income to live on, and can't claim the capital loss, should I hang onto it for income or switch into something else? If the latter, what alternative investment(s) could you suggest with comparable safety of yield and long term buy-and-hold potential?

I wish you were actively advising on US stocks meanwhile however
for me to start please suggest some US stocks or etf for not very aggressive
stocks with high volatility but something like BNS,SLF,td in Canada Income is not my priority but steady growth is in my mind not stocks like canabis?

Q: Hi Peter and team, I'm just starting to look into setting up my RRIF and wanted to ask if 5i could recommend any good reading materials, with respect to what sort of assumptions I should make? Currently my portfolios are producing income which would equate to about the minimum I would consider withdrawing on an annual basis. This will be my only income other than CPP and OAS. Is there any benefit to equalizing my US/CAD exposures when I'm not really planning much travel to US? For example, I could replace my Telus with VZ or my RY with JPM. Thanks again for your great service.
