Q: Portfolio Analytics is saying I need to increase consumer cyclical and defensive holding. Can you give me a couple of stocks in Canada and the United States with steady dividends and low risk. And a couple of ETF's too.

Thanks Greg

Q: In your reponse to Cecil today you state: "VOO will be more tax efficient as it is US-listed whereas VFV is Canadian-listed. Foreign withholding tax on dividends will be exempt." I was under the understanding that there is no foreign withholding tax on dividends in an RRSP.

Q: Good Evening
To follow up on my yesterday's question, you suggested ZPR for a proxy on CDZ. How can a laddered preferred share ETF (ZPR) could be a proxy for CDZ?
Can you please clarify?
Thanks

Q: I currently own ROST but thinking of swaping for one of NKE, CROX, DOOO as they might provide better returns over the next 3-5 years. Or is there another US consumer stock you would suggest for growth?

What would be your preference in what order might you buy? ATZ is already owned.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i
Concerning claiming a 5i membership for tax purposes. If one buys the whole package, is that claimable. Or, just the amount charged for the question and answer section?
Thanks

Q: I recently sold an energy holding that has performed well.

I'm looking to re-invest some of the proceeds into Sangoma (STC) and/or EGLX, both of which I already own.

What are your current thoughts on Sangoma, given the decline in share price this year and its debt? Would I be better off adding that portion to EGLX instead?

This would be in a TFSA. Otherwise well-diversified investor in his late 50s with a cast-iron stomach.

Thanks as always!

Marc.
