Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My TFSA is 1% and my RRSP is 5% of my overall portfolio, does it matter what stocks I invest in? I have maintained a balanced portfolio (excluding utilities, energy) in my RRSP but I am thinking I don't need to do this. My TFSA has returned over 300% in three years so I get some enjoyment out of that. I have reduced some of my high fliers but have recently stopped doing that, deciding them to let them soar (keeping in mind that could dive as well). Thanks

Q: Looking to add some ETF's in my accounts - can you explain the difference between funds that are Hedged and those that are not Hedged. What would be better to buy at this time and are they more suitable for a TFSA or a non registered account.
thanks

Q: Peter; Do you think selling all your energy stocks now is a typical “retail” investor panicking at the bottom- conversely is this a contrarian’s dream? Thanks. Rod

Q: Norbert Gambit - FYI:

5i has good thread here (https://www.5iresearch.ca/forums/viewthread/328), but this link has good concise broker-specific how-to info here (https://www.dividendearner.com/dlr-norbert-gambit/) titled
'Convert CAD and USD for less than $20 with DLR'.

Hope it is helpful to members; I just used it.

Q: Do you like VA or better to invest in a different ETF? I own only this ETF and AFG Global Dividend Fund. The VA ETF has not performed that well and wonder if I should invest a better overall global ETF? If so what would be your recommendation?

Thanks

Q: Hello, I am looking to add to my international holdings and was hoping you can recommend an etf similar to xtr. I already have enough exposure to North America so I am trying to find a diversified etf (50/50 equities and fixed inc.) with a decent yield that does not include the U.S. or Canada. Thank you.
