Q: Telus is having a solid pull back today - I believe on news of it's capital raise at $52. I've been a long time holder of the stock but had to sell to assist with a house transaction. I enjoy it's capital appreciation and consistent dividend growth. Is now a good time to re-enter given that I mostly mimic the BE Portfolio and currently have no telecom exposure?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

Thank you for answering my question regarding BEP.UN.
I have to admit that I still do not fully understand the problem with holding BEP in a non-reg account. If I simply receive something from my broker (T3 or whatever the form is) telling me what amount I received from BEP the following year and I pass that on to the person doing my taxes what is the "pain" that you refer to with regards to limited partnership tax accounting? Is there some convoluted time-consuming calculation that the accountant must do? Or is there some other complication once the stock is sold? I am fine with some portion of the flow-through being withheld in regards to the US portion of the income from the stock.
Thanks for your patience!
Love your service!

Q: Hello peter, At this time, which would you prefer from total return perspective.
BIP - 1 year high and yield 3.9%
BEP - 1 year high and pay 3.8%
BPY - towards 1 year low and pay 7.2%
Are you concerned with low dividend growth at BPY.
Thanks

Q: I have some extra room in my existing telecom allocation and am looking at adding TMUS and dropping SJR.B. Or should I just add further to VZ or FIVG to continuing increasing my US exposure and currency diversification? I am retired but do not depend on the income from this portfolio which is intended to be widely diversified and focused on dividend growing solid companies.
