As much as my job sucks, I would hate to be Norm or Heinzl (although I respect them both). What a crappy job writing articles to pander to people's desperate need for investment guidance!
Regarding the list, it doesn't seem too tax efficient (BIP.UN, DGRO-N, all that REIT stuff). I know: don't let the tax tail wag the dog.. but, still..
I personally don't like food stocks (too whimsical): pizza and burgers.
I don't like the weightiness of the reits.
I don't like the cop-out of XIU-T: seriously, choose some proper dividend growth stocks - you've got a lot of overlap of your individual choices with this ETF.
I hate insurance companies like MFC: too convoluted.
Also I'm suspect of AQN. Why? Because Emera sold their stake in them, they had that accounting kerfuffle, and the CEO felt the need to come out and say "don't worry about Trump, renewables are here to stay": smacks of desperation to me and I don't want that in a buy-and-hold decision.
My overall grade would be: meh.
Could have done better but a paycheck is a paycheck, right?
