Q: Most of my equities are individual dividend DRIP stocks. I'm mulling switching to non-drip because I would like much more clarity in terms of the dividend $ our stocks generate and how the basic stock price is performing. Your thoughts please?

Q: I hold aa good amount of your income portfolio and about 50% of the balanced portfolio. But my u.s. exposure is only 12%. Would it be a good idea to use xei for Canadian dividend exposure as I require about 4.5% to live on in my outside accounts and sell down some of the balanced fund and invest in vun to bring my exposure higher. Also, what percentage of my total portfolio would you suggest in u.s.exposure...Thanks for the great service...Gene

Q: Bogle-style, self-directed investors (buying an exchange-traded fund which mirrors the S&P 500, e.g. SPY, VOO, IVV, RSP in an appropriate asset allocation) can probably ignore commissions today, especially on six-digit transactions. Even five-digit ones.

Can they ignore bid/ask spreads? Market orders get filled instantly, limit orders can take forever.

Thank you.

Q: CJ is up almost 8 per cent today. Can't find any news. Stockhouse, bnn, company website don't seem to have any news. Anything on your radar? I believe CJ will have strong first quarter results. If the stock pops on that news I will get out of CJ. What are your thoughts on this junior , Canadian oil weighted company?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
First Capital is a small trust with market cap of 125M (based on WSJ info). Yesterday, it announces 266 M purchase/co-ownership with First Capital Realty.
Jan 9, 2019 Crombie Reit anounced a sale of 104M ish to the group.
Questions:
Is FCD.UN a good investment today for a 10 years horizon?
Do you think that this can be a step to turn First Capital Realty to a REIT? or a planned merger of all First Capital assets into 1?

My annual membership will end soon, a day before my BD so I always remember to give myself a gift of membership in support of the last independent advisor for DYI.
