RE:RE:RE:RE:Its a startYou are most welcome!
You are correct in stating that the tax consideration becomes much more important when the majority of an investment portfolio is in a non-registered format. If the majority of one's assets are in registered accounts, I feel that it is important to avoid capital losses ... cuz these can't be written off against capital gains when realized inside registered accounts.
I can't comment on your other holdings. I actually have one preferred issue of EIT .... EIT.PR.B ... which I hold in our preferred share portfolio (which is a proxy for a fixed income component ... cuz we have no bonds, no GICs, no HISAs).
Cheers!

Checking your posting history your portfolio is substantially greater than mine so there are a number of differences between them. first off most of our holdings are in TFSAs ,with the other 30% in RRSPs so taxes are not a problem. In my case for diversification purposes , the portfolio consists of just 5 high yielding ETFs. They are EIT, FTN, HDIF, HDIV ,and HYLD. While the markets are down considerably , especially in TECH, those monthly dividends reinvested are adding up in new shares at a an impressive rate. Eventually things will turn for the better and the portfolio will gain from those new shares. If you have any comments about the other ETFs l own or suggestions , l am all ears. Cheers to You as well.and thanks for stepping up to comment.
