Q: Hi,

I have 1/2 positions in FTS & AQN now. I'm considering adding another 1/2 position to utilities. I could get a 1/2 position in BEP.un or add to FTS and/or AQN.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Q: I own RNW for income. I bought in Jan. 2016, so I have a capital gain of 37%. For long term safety and security of both my principle and the dividends, would you favor selling RNW and buying BEP.UN with the proceeds? The yields are similar. (RNW 6.48%, BEP.UN 6.052. I just don't want to get caught if RNW shares start declining.

Q: Soooo many questions regarding bonds ... not surprising when so many of us have enjoyed the "safe" dividends.

My question: given the concerns regarding bonds in general in a rising rate environment, would you recommend this as good time to add XRB or a similar/better product to the fixed income portion of one's portfolio?

Thanks for your guidance here.

Q: I picked up some AC in the spring with the intention to hold into the new year. The stock and the sector seem to be on a roll at the moment and really started to lift when Buffet bought into the sector. Buffet is anything but fly by night so I am thinking of holding a little longer. What is the street calling for on Air Canada? Could you give me some price targets? Could you also comment on the Buffet purchase and what it is that he might be seeing?
