Q: I have held a large Position in BIP.UN in my RRSP for many years. The equity has done OK but in looking back wonder why my Financial Advisor didn't suggest i rotate this into BN or BAM to gain max returns.

I don't need the income and it seems alot of BIP.UN's return comes in the form of the dividend which is not treated favorably within a Registered Account so BIP.UN seems not best for RRSP.

How would you suggest i better allocate these funds within a Registered Account between Brookfield companies to gain max benefit and at what price(s) would you suggest the switch?

Just on a side note i previously also held BEP.UN and my advisor suggested it was rated a Sell by Veritas so i let him sell at a very inopportune moment ($33). He claimed Veritas had a Sell on all Brookfield companies. Is Veritas a reputable rating Agency because they seem to just dislike any and all Brookfield entities?

Q: Could you please rate the Canadian stocks below for total return over the next 5 years.

Perhaps these ratings would work (or other ratings you think are better) ...
F for fair
A for average
G for good
VG for very good
E for excellent

The stocks are:

BAM
BEP.UN
BIP.UN
EMA
FTS
NA
POW
RY
SLF
TD

Thanks.

Q: My portfolio is income based. I have capital losses in BCE, CAR,UN and ENGH. What order would you sell them in or should some be held? I am looking to replace some or all with the following; BIP.UN, NWC.UN and/or RCI.B. How would you rank them for acquisition?
