BUY

Hasn’t been buying this because he tends to have a lot of banks anyway and this is heavily into the banks. However, this is fine as everyone else is concerned. A good play. You might want to consider that we have had this good dividend play for quite a while now and maybe the thing to be looking at a little bit more is something that is more growth oriented.

SELL

Composed of dividend payers, not just dividend growers. He would have a hard time buying it here. But it should have really good support here and would sell on any pullback.

BUY

It’s okay. Ishares products tend to be market leaders, but VDY-T is a bit cheaper and more broadly diversified, and he prefers it.

TRADE

Is a basket of names. He prefers HDV as there is more room for growth.

BUY

Likes it. Doesn`t use it because of a lot of bank stocks. He already has a lot of banks. Great product.

BUY

Likes this one. The only reason he doesn’t have more of it is that it has a lot of banks and he does a lot of Covered Calls on banks and doesn’t want to overweight his portfolio.

COMMENT

This tends to have a higher dividend yield than the other products out there. Doesn't think dividends are the best things in the world. You have to remember that risk and reward are related and those stocks that pay dividends are seen as less risky. If you want a higher return, you can buy stocks that are not paying dividends. Can’t see that this one will do more than 4% over the next 5-20 years.

BUY

This is a great ETF to hold. If you are bullish on US equities, SES, it gives you hedged exposure to the Dow Jones 30 index, which is a rock solid index to be in. (He holds a similar ETF with another company.)

BUY

Cdn Dividend ETF. Likes this one but frankly will often use Claymore’s instead because if he is writing covered calls on banks, this one is more bank weighted which would make him overweight on the banks. Nothing wrong with this one.

BUY

Includes broader range of financials than XFN. Would suggest balancing off the financials with another ETF.

BUY

78-year-old caller is looking for an ETF that has safety and a bit of growth. The 2 that he likes are the S&P/TSX Preferred ETF (CPD-T) and Cdn Dividend ETF (XDV-T). Both are invested in large cap companies.

BUY

Cdn Dividend ETF. Very good product. Tends to be heavily financials so would balance that a little bit with Cdn Div & Income ETF (CDZ-T), which is only 15% financials.

BUY

A good ETF for a senior’s portfolio for income.

BUY

Canadian Dividend ETF. This is a better way to go rather than individual stocks and this is a very good one. You could also look at Cdn Div & Income ETF (CDZ-T).

COMMENT

Dividend ETF. Doesn't like using this as a proxy for income, but if you are a person who wants a conservative equity exposure, especially if you are a retiree or on a fixed income, this is okay.
