Q: Hello 5i team,
I appreciate your response to my question regarding "what to do in view of an impending recession".
Less equity and more fixed income would indeed make sense. I suppose that I could start with the holdings in the Income portfolio; but, of the balanced equity portfolio, which would you consider as "aggressive" and which would you consider as "more defensive".
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: I am really confused by insider trading charts. I know you've said that sometimes insiders need cash for personal projects, but when I see a lot of red, I get worried. I would like to buy FSS. Can you tell me if the selling is a signal for not buying? I would love it if you did a blog on how to read insider trading charts.

Q: I am retired living on dividend income. I am interested in ZWU to increase my dividend income with its yield of 6.30%.
However, I noticed that it's cash distribution has been decreasing since Jan 2017. How is its cash distribution determined? With rising interest rates, will it's cash distribution continue to decrease? What income etf yielding over 4.5% would you recommend in this market? What percent position would you recommend for income ETFs?

Q: I originally purchased this holding in a registered account when it was an income trust. It converted to an ETF a while back. Since acquiring it this has been a steady dividend payer and I do rely on its income. My cost is greater than its value today. What is your opinion of this stock going forward? Should sell my small position and look to another area>

Q: Since Dec 18 BAM's price has been declining, is there something wrong ?, why is the reason for the decline ?, my earnings graph at TDwaterhouse shows that earnings have been declining since April 2015. Is this accurate ?. Are investors expecting bad news on Feb 15 when the 2017 results are going to be announced ?

Q: I have some money in an RRSP and I feel that my diversification is broad enough. My preference is in consistent reliable dividends (nearing retirement) and honestly some potential in a market increase. Which of these would you pick? Also, I would like you to give me a better idea about Centurylink. At what stock price level would you consider to be a purchase point? ( or would you stay away period).
