Q: Hi There
I am looking to increase the consumer part of my diversified income/modest growth (retirement)portfolio and trying to decide between AW.un, BPF.un and KEG.un.
BPF numbers look the least attractive of the three, but you appear to speak well of it.
Going forward which would be your #1 choice given the recent market turmoil?
Thanks as always for a great commentary.

Q: I have $11,000 currently sitting in cash of a RDSP account. I would like some advice on how to invest it. Of course I want to make money, so stability and return are important. It is for the long-term.
A related question: In the worst case scenario, if the beneficary loses the CRAs disability tax credit and the plan has to be be collapsed, what happens? (The medical credit is up for renewal this year).
Please use your judgment as to whether to publish this question or not.
Thanks

PS. I LOVE your service!!!

Q: All the talking heads on BNN say sell your utility,telcos,banks and Reits-and buy what? If you are retired like me and don't mind volatility-they never < dividends during the worst financial crisis ever & telcos are planning to > dividends -eg. T why would you do that if you want mostly TSX exposure (pref. tax treat). I have some USD exposure in companies like J&J, MSFT (up nicely), MO, GE, KFT etc-held for over 4 yr.

Q: Peter & Co.,

2 of my core holdings, BCE and Emereging Markets (PIE-N), have just been getting crushed recently, for very different reasons. Are these sell offs overdone, or is there more pain to come? I consider myself a long term investor, but how much longer can I let these stocks be an anchor to my portfolio?

Thanks.

Q: Regarding IPL.UN this goes back to your comments on Stop Loss points. Following your comments I assessed where I would want a STOP LOSS and removed most. A STOP LOSS today on IPL.UN might have cost an investor dearly.

Thanks for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi 5i, Now that IPL.UN has resumed trading activity, do you think there's a buying opportunity here? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i If a good quality company pays a good dividend , say 4%
and as this market shows all companies can be pulled down in price will the dividend be affected negatively if the stock drops 15% but the companies fundamentals remain strong ?

Q: Thank you Peter for at least attempting to explain IPL.UN trading. Globeinvestorgold and other newspaper sources seem useless in this context. Cheers, Ken

Q: Hi Peter and Staff,

Love your service ! Have recommended it to my investment club.

Equities are down today. The "correction" is here - and may provide buying opportunities.

My question. I am a believer in seasonality and DRIP programs. One of the most significant recurring seasonal events is the best six months of the market to be in (Late October - Early May).

For a long term buy-and-hold strategy, would it not make sense to participate in automatic DRIP's during the worst 6 months (forced buying during seasonal dips), and leave the DRIP programs and bank the dividends during the best six months, and then use the accumulated cash to re-balance/purchase on good days (like today).

Thanks !
