Q: Hi,
I am looking for income and considering the above Brookfield companies. Would you please provide an overview of the different tax treatments of the income distributions. Are they best held in a registered or a non-registered account? Also, do you prefer one company over the other and if so why? Thank you

Q: 5i Team,

Please provide your guidance on US based ETF's that you believe could be a buy now, and perhaps others that could be placed on a watch list pending a market adjustment or a new developing trend line. Goals would be moderate growth (lean towards safety) with a steady and growing dividend. I currently hold VIG and would want to expand my US based exposure. Position would be held in either a cash or rrsp account. Many thx. Steve.

Q: Peter, I read your article in the National Post on Saturday. You focus on a handful of companies that are superior according to your filters. Of these how would you rank the companies above? And have you any information about them which you would like to add? Thanks for your insights.

Q: Your comments on dfn doing a financing on class a shares at 8.75. Stock now trading in 8.45 range. A buy? What price would the shares stop paying a dividend? Ala dropping this last week. Would this be from cost overrun on pipeline in us that it owns part of? Expected earnings due Oct 30?

Q: I noticed Cara Operations has been buying shares of these units, they do look cheap right now with a nice div or payout. Has Cara always been a holder of these units and could they be doing a creeping takeover of them? What are your thoughts on the units as part of an income portfolio of 15 to 20 stocks?
thanks Tom

Q: What are your favourite energy names that have decent/reasonably safe dividend yields, strong balance sheets and are cash flow positive at current market prices? Not looking for the names most levered to oil/gas price rebound.....I don't mind being patient on long-term holds that are very cheap today and will be around in 5-10 years.

Cheers

Q: I have been watching KML. My portfolio is a bit mixed up these days, and could probably use a little more diversification within my dividend plays (weighted heavily in Banks at the moment). At 4.5% yield, this looks like a decent play, and it feels like there is upside potential with the share price, with limited downside (assuming the Pembina deal stays on track, as the company has said). I like the stability of their income, and it looks as though they have "taken their lumps". How do you guys feel about KML these days?

Thank you in advance

Don

Q: I have a 5% position in BCE and a 4% position in NWC, which I consider both to be "full", relative to their "blue chip status". I have a little bit of cash available to top up either or both. With the recent weakness in both BCE and NWC, would you add to either at this time? From an asset allocation perspective it doesn't really matter which, although I could use a bit more in the consumer space.

BCE = Now that the election is behind us, does the threat of cell phone fee reductions seem more likely? What does the future look like?

NWC = At last reporting, I understand the airline expansion was possibly holding back results...any new news?

Thanks...Steve
