Q: My full service advisor has suggested I sell passive ETF's ZDY, ZGI & VDU and buy active fund Capital Goup Global International Equity (CIF 843). The passive holdings have no trailing commission the active fund does. But it seems the active fund performance is much better? Could please give me your opinion if this would be advisable - thanks for your usual great advice.

Q: I earlier asked about when/if you thought HEO could possibly move to the TSX, it got me wondering about two other stocks I own - STC and PEO. Both of these stocks seemingly are big enough no?

At what point to companies decide to list on the TSX from the venture usually? Is it a market cap thing? Thanks in advance.

Q: New customer to 5i. Retired, 62 years old, married, investments held jointly, 65% of low 7 figure DIY portfolio made up of Cdn equities, rest in cash/bonds. 90% of equity held outside of SDRSP accounts. Question – for many years, we’ve been receiving dividend income that is eligible for the tax credit and have paid virtually zero income taxes. I am aware that we are not at all diversified internationally and have broken this fundamental tenant in investing. But since taxes are likely the single biggest cost in our lives, we believe our lack of int’l exposure (and thereby probably missing out on better returns), is less important than our tax savings. Is this stance short sighted ?

Q: Two companies for which you appear to have a favourable view seem to be seriously struggling as far as their stock price goes. There seems to be little interest from investors as is evident from the low trading volume. Would you recommend continued patience and holding on or should I let them go and move the money to more productive areas. No chance for tax losses as they are in a LIRA. Thanks as always.
