Q: HI Peter and team. AM I better off investing in an ETF such as VDY or the top 10 - 15 holdings?

Q: Morningstar just downgraded PPL from 2 stars to 1 star. What is your take on the downgrade? Is there cause for concern? I hold it for Stable and hopefully rising income and possibly some growth.
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?

Q: I'm helping my daughter (mid-20s) manage her TFSA, which is her only portfolio. Currently, it consists of IPL 30%, TOY 28% , SIS 18% and KXS 23%. She’s wants to keep TOY, SIS and KXS, but is thinking of selling IPL. She is more interested in growth stocks. Do you consider selling IPL a good move or is it best to keep it; and, can you suggest 2-3 other stocks to add to round things out, given the other holdings. She's looking at a minimum 3-5 year timeframe.
