Q: Good Morning,

Since interest rate are moving higher ,I am looking in investing into Lifecos. My research into ETF has given me FLI. This etf invest in US and Canadian Lifeco and pays a dividend higher than the the individual companies pays. I assume there is a call option in this ETF. Would you recommend this ETF? Is call option good when an ETF is moving higher? As for LCS is this high risk and how can they pay a 12% plus dividend?

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Good Day: I'm wondering if you have a recommendation in regard to an ETF for emerging markets that trades on the TSX? I have held ZEM in the past and have no particular concerns but as I now think about re-entering emerging markets it seems prudent to access your wisdom about possible alternatives that might be superior to the BMO product. Many thanks.

Q: Good morning. As a new member I was wondering if you could comment on the equities I have in my TFSA. It's value id approximately $45 K. I have been retired for 10 years on an educator's defined benefit pension and would consider myself a medium risk investor.
The equities are ZUB, CRH, HXQ,RY, SHOP, ZCL (with values of $4-6K) and CPG and NPC ($2-3K values).
Can I feel confident with the growth opportunities of these? Do you have other suggestions to look into?
Thankyou.
Jim

Q: Since your last comment on this company, they have updated their capital deployment and instituted a quarterly dividend. Don't you have a favorable bias to companies which implement a divi? If one looks at the presentation put up on their website - projections for capital, revenues and net profits they are quiet impressive. I have owned this for awhile and am very tempted to buy more. Would you play devils advocate and tell me why this company is not proving they are in-fact scaling their model. They are presenting at an investor conference today and I am expecting the stock to reflect the analysts view.

Q: Canadian restaurant income trusts were marvelous investments last year. A&W was up over 40% in the last year in addition to a healthy dividend. The others were up between 26%-33%. Do you expect this kind of growth to continue in 2017? If not, what would be more reasonable to expect?
