Q: Buy and hold Canadian dividend stocks, forever, is my core strategy, and I dislike reits as I regard them as inferior long term securities. That said I am considering CAR.U because I like the exposure to apartment real estate What is your very long term view of this security decades out. Could it potentially morph into a common stock many, many years out and do you view it as a worthwhile hold for that time frame.

Q: I am rebalancing my portfolios which include two nonregistered accounts (1 Cdn $ and 1 US $), a TFSA and an RRSP. I am 70 years old and collecting both CPP and OAS and some of my OAS is clawed back each year. Do you have a chart showing what is the best suited for each of these accounts. So for example are my dividend accounts best to be held in just my RRSP or perhaps in my TFSA as well? What about growth or value stocks, bonds, interest income or EFTs – where do they best belong?
Thank you for your advice.

Q: Hi, wondering what you would suggest as best buys this week for short term gains given the decline in many sectors or stocks showing new momentum trends? And any long term holds being offered at a good discount to pick up? Thanks for all your good advice!
Q: Do not chuckle at my ignorance here please, but my question here is on ETF and Mutual Fund fees bought in self directed brokerage portfolios. If a posted managed fee (ie 1.5%) where does that withdraw fee show up and is it taken our annually or monthly? I never see a charge on my monthly statements for the etf management fees. How are they calculated, on the purchase price or a share value on a set date? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Just joined your group and so far I am liking the website and the sections. I like to invest in small to mid cap companies (currently have bbi and pmn in my portfolio). Looking to add 2-3 more over the next few weeks. Any suggestions that I can have so I look into their company? I do like PTE a bit since it dropped so much.

Q: In the response to a question on Jan 17th, you said that EFN was buying back shares. I can't see anything like this on Canadian Insider except back in September. Did you mean ECN? I'm down around 40% over the last year and you keep saying to hold. As of today, would you still hold? This one is very frustrating.
