Q: 5-I,
What is the most time efficient way of keeping track of dividend cuts made by individual stocks or ETFs? I have set up alerts of dividends paid from the brokerage but am looking for a more efficient manner. I see your listing of dividend increases in Moneysaver which I find very good . It is the cuts that I most want to keep track of.

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Hi,
Could you get your crystal ball out to help with this decision. I bought facebook on the dip at $159. Now its bouncing around $190. For a two month return thats pretty great. Do you think its a good value "forever" type stock because of their user numbers? Or do you think its looking like a good time to move that money into something else offering greater upside? Im not into chasing gains and moving money around alot, I prefer value investing. However, since its hovering around its highest high is it likely to slow down to maybe just a few percent growth per year? Its growth has been very consistent since the end of 2012, but if that was to slow down and not offer a dividend it would lose some attractiveness for sure. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Q: 5-I,
I am looking to create some guidelines for investing in an RESP. Specifically what % of equities you would consider for a child, assuming a 4 year university program. It is my opinion to look at 100% equities up to a certain age. Assume for this example the student begins post secondary at age 18.

1) At what age do you think it is reasonable to start reducing exposure to equities?
2) What percentage of equities is reasonable for the period the youth is 15-18?
3) Assuming the payments will be paid out over a four year period do you think it makes any sense to have any equity exposure during the post secondary years?

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Hi there, I watched an interview this evening with David Rosenberg who was predicting a recession in 2019. My first question is what is your thoughts on this and do you agree with his perspective and second - while I know you are not in favour of timing the market, how would you approach/adjust your portfolio if you believe we were heading into a recession? For a person no fixed income portion, would you stay 100% invested in equities or move into a partial cash position - if so, how much cash? This bull market seems like its in extended innings, however the economy seems to be doing well overall and earnings seem strong. What do you think the best approach for ones portfolio heading into the 2019 or 2020?

Thanks!
