Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

We need to increase our Telecom exposure in our non-registered account. Is Telus investable today for a long-term hold, or should we wait for a pullback? Alternatively, since we also need to increase our US exposure, would you be OK with VOX (or similar ETF) instead of T, or would tax consequences make VOX or another US-based ETF a poor choice in an unregistered account? As always, thanks for your valued advice.

Q: My question involves a Co. which has doubled in value and pays a 4% dividend.

Example Paid $5. per share with 4% dividend. Now Co. worth $10. so dividend
rate is now 8%.

Hold or sell the Co.? What is your rational on long term holds where the dividend effectively doubles with the doubling of the fmv of the stock?

Q: With the recent drop in price, would you consider BHP an ideal opportunity to take advantage of tax loss selling over the next few weeks? Do you still think the dividend payout is reasonably safe? I have not seen the "each representing two" statement before... pls. explain! I am 84 and wanting to add to my income portfolio.

Q: Looking at the concern over rising interest rates I took EIF as an example of the effect,
EIF has a dividend of approximately 5%, the equivalent interest rate would be in vicinity of 6%.
So if my calculations are right interest rates have a long way to go to have a material effect,
In this case also we have some growth and the possibility of acquisitions.
So should I be concerned about the effect of rising interest rates on EIF?
