We use a financial advisor with an investment company that doesn't have any of its own products or invest in the market itself. Our advisor doesn't buy or sell anything without discussing it with us first. In spite of today's interest rates, at our age protecting capital is #1 so we try to keep our portfolio totals at around 35% or a bit less equities and the rest in GIC's and bonds. We have a bit in a couple of ETF's but except for a few capital gains plays, the rest of our equities are dividend paying individual stocks.

One thing we do is max out our TFSA's every year.
