Q: Hello 5i,
I caught a headline on BNN regarding BofC sentiment around interest rates. I took from it that the BOC might be poised for a much larger cut than it has done so far, perhaps 0.75, even 1.0 bp cut. Now, with a Trump win and policies that could fuel Canadian inflation by increasing the cost of U.S. imports on the one hand and a potential dampening effect on the Canadian economy as whole on the other, do you see any strong sense of direction for Canadian interest rate policy for the next meeting in December?
I know this kind of prognostication is problematic, but I would value your insights as to what Canadians might reasonably expect from the Bank of Canada on Dec. 11.
Many thanks for any analysis you can provide.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hello,
Horizons used to have a series of funds, designed for non-reg accounts, that reflected any income as capital gains, as they lowered the cost base with each recognition of 'income.' I believe they changed their name to Global X, but I was hoping you might be able to offer a couple funds for some growth potential. Canadian funds would be preferred, but if U.S. denominated are better, I would appreciate knowing those as well.

Q: I recently took a position in PHX. I like that their debt is low, good history of buying back shares, major capital expenditures for the most part seem to be behind them. Seems like management knows what they are doing despite them being in what could be a volatile industry. The high dividend doesn’t hurt either (maybe). What are your thoughts on this company and their latest earnings report. Thank you

Q: I am still toying with RRSP strategies - I have about 50% of my RRSP in US funds and 50% in Canadian funds. I plan on starting to draw my RRSP down in January and need about an 8% annual return, including dividends and growth for the next 10 years. I have slowly been rolling my Canadian side toward your income portfolio, and am about half-way there. On the US side, I hold the above positions. What are your thoughts on the following - mirroring your income portfolio with the Canadian side, and on the US side hold a combination of ETF's/Equities, or just ETF's. I have been actively growing my RRSP (with success thanks!) But hope to be able to spend less time on it once I retire. The above idea means, for the Cdn side, I can continue to follow your moves on the income portfolio. For the US side, I will continue to monitor/rebalance, but I don’t want it to be a daily task - please suggest a tactic, including whether to mix equities/ETF's, or just go to one or a few ETF's, and please suggest holdings in either tactic. Thanks!
