Q: Hello Peter and colleagues,
Is VEQT (100% equity) a growth ETF? (where can one find this information) Comparing VEQT with VGRO (80/20 equity/bond mix) can we say that VEQT has more potential for growth in long term (and more risk)? If Is VEQT is not a growth ETF is there a growth ETF that is 100% equity? Would you suggest any better alternative than both VEQT and VGRO?

Q: 5i
Oil represents about 5% of my portfolio and is comprised of Freehold, Vermillion, Surge and Whitecap. I cannot get a good feel as to where the price of oil is headed in the next 2 years. Appears to me there are conflicting views. Should I get out of the oil sector, invest in good dividend paying stocks that would be more stable and re enter the oil market or not at a later date. All my oil stocks do pay high dividends, are they sustainable. Appreciate your insight on both the oil market and potential stocks to invest in regardless of sector if you feel exiting the oil market may be the way to go.

Q: Hello-I invested in both of the companies early this year. Williams share price has dropped and now yields an eye popping eight per cent. Is that sustainable? What are your thoughts on wmb. I am tempted to buy more. Also, Citibank gave a shout out to enbridge today and it’s current yields are also high. Your thoughts on enb please?

Q: I sold WCP for the tax loss with the intention of buying it back after 30 days. Now that the 30 days has passed, I am questioning if I should repurchase it or if I would be better off with something else. It was my only energy sector holding and I am looking to fill the void with a new full position. What would be your best choice(s) for immediate purchase with the following criteria:
-Canadian energy sector
-Pays a dividend (can be small or large)
-Relatively strong balance sheet
-Will be able to weather $50 /barrel oil indefinitely but should nonetheless see some big gains when/if the Canadian sector turns around

Q: I noticed when comparing both stocks (TDwaterhouse data base),
TOU : EPS =1.65, div/year = 0.48, P/E=7.6, P/CF =2.6
WCP : EPS =0.13, div/year= 0.34, P/E=32 , P/CF =3.2
If both have lots of cash flow, why WCP has much higher P/E than TOU ?, What is WCP doing with its cash ?, Is capex, paying debt, shares buy backs any of the reasons to explain their main difference in earnings? Can I assume that TOU has a better balance sheet and therefore is safer ? Thanks

Q: I am as of today down 15% with vet.with a 12% yield. My thought is that if I do not really need the tax loss and would be quite happy with a 6% yield . Can you offer an opinion on if a div. Cut is in the works that vet .with it's track record and balance sheet does not need to cut div. By more than 50% TKS. Larry
