Q: Hi Peter and Team: Over time I've been trying to make my portfolio as similar as possible to your model. Since I own two of the big Canadian telcos in a separate portfiolio, I've been looking for something else to fill the missing 5%. I recently looked at tower companies. These are interesting, in particular because the three biggest US tower companies are rated "buys" by Morningstar, with fair values larger that their market value. However, based on their fundamentals (via Morningstar) I'm not sure what their growth prospects are (dividents are small to zero). I've heard some hype to the effect that 4G network proliferation will push their prices up. Can you shed any light on this family of stocks, in particular, American Tower (AMT, US)? Also, it and some others are now REITs. Does this cause any complications for a Canadian resident?

Q: Happy New Year 5I team. Dec 20 you answered a question indicating that TRN was your preferred stock in the sector. About 5% of my portfolio is in CSX as part of a 25% diversified US investment. NSC, a more recent purchase, makes up 3%. Would it make sense at this time to take my profit(about 25%)on CSX and reinvest the funds in TRN?

Q: PLUG has met their 4th quarer targets and the stock is spiking in early hours.
According to the CEO the first quarter 2014 should also be a good one. Once again they seem to be on a good growth curve with top notch customers. BLD is one of their suppliers.
Could be a very good year for both companies.
Do you agree.
Good Luck for The New Year

Q: Peter - I like the Technology and healthcare sectors in 2014 and long term (+5 Years). Rather than selecting stocks in these sectors, I am looking at IYW (US Technology) and IYH (US Healthcare), however I am concerned at the low daily volumes. Can you provide your thoughts on these two ETF's and can you recommend any alternative ETF's in these two sectors? Thank You and Best Wishes in 2014!! Thank You for providing us with an excellent service.
