Q: I'M retired and invest for dividends. I have a full position in PPL and a full+ position in VSN which, I understand PPL is going to buy shortly. Both have dropped today, probably because of a big lawsuit against PPL by a US investment company. My question is hold, trim, sell?

Q: What would be your top picks for a mid-large cap Canadian dividend growth stock to buy today in a non reg account?
I have enough for 2 half positions or one full @5%
Pipelines are looking interesting from an income standpoint but momentum is negative.

Thank you!

Q: Good afternoon guys,

I've been watching the REITs and utility/pipelines stocks take a dip - presumably due to interest rates. I remember a time when a stock like IPL yielded 8 to 10% and HR.UN not much behind that.

With interest rates due to rise in the near or medium term, how high to you see yields rising? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see the yields on these stock rise to 7-8%, maybe higher depending on market sentiment etc. Is there a way to guesstimate what yields companies like IPL and or HR.UN could ascend to with increases in interest rates?

Q: Hello 5i.

I bought these 2 stocks for our income portfolios within the last few month.
I bought Smart Reit at 32.77 and my wifes account ALA at 30.26
We're down about 7.5 % in each stock.
Each stock is about 5% of the income account.
Should I sell and find something better or sit back and draw the dividend??

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, & Co.,
Keyera sold off today, I assume after the market reacted to the latest earnings reported yesterday. Can you comment on the most recent quarter's results? I've watched other energy infrastructure companies like IPL, ENB & ALA sell off considerably recently - are these great buys now, or is the entire sector in long-term decline?
Thanks,
Brian

Q: Was about to enter positions in these names but they all took off 5 percent or greater after earning release. Would you wait for them to settle before starting a position? Other then a major market correction when is the best time to buy?
