Q: Hello
A few months ago I had asked you about going overweight with Crius Energy as a means for covering margin interest. It has worked well for me so far. I do have anear full position in Altagas subscription receipts ALA-R. At today's prices, would you recommend going overweight here as well so as to cover some margin interest?

Q: Hi,

Presently I have no fixed income position, just cash. (70% of portfolio is in equities). This is mostly due to lethargy. I was thinking of allocating equal weights of the following: XHY, CPD, ZAG, CBO and PIMCO Monthly Income, what are your thoughts? Also, how should I approach entering a rising interest rate environment? Now?, Wait?

Thanks for all you great advice.

Q: Hi Folks
I hold Emera and have done well over time with rising share prices (up to this year) and dividends which tend to go up about 9% a year. I am still below a 4% position in my portfolio and was thinking of topping it up with the 4.5% decline yesterday. Can you comment on the recent earning report and drop in share price - do you think that there are any issues to be concerned with or more one time charges/issues? Is it fairly valued with the share price drop? Seems a pretty steady dividend grower?
Much thanks
Stuart
