Q: Hi, I have a number of renewable energy companies in my portfolio including the above, which I treat as a mini ETF, and they have performed wonderfully with both yield and growth. They have pulled back with the election however. Have you changed your view on any companies in this area, and if so which ones?

Q: Hello - I'd really like to take a position in K-Bro, but I have questions:

1) K-Bro appears to be expensive. If I'm getting correct information, the TTM P/E ratio is about 26. Is that correct? Would you not agree that this is expensive? I really don't see this as a growth stock to justify such a high multiple.

2) What is a reasonable P/E multiple range for a company like this?

3) Going forward do you see decent dividend growth?

Thanks for you valuable service.

Q: Between BCE and T, which would be your pick for growth and income, in that order? If I added CGX to the mix (recognizing it is in a different sector), where would it fit in with the other two? Please also include some rationale for your answer.
Thank-you

Q: Hello Peter, Manulife, Enbridge, Royal bank have been offering preferred-shares. Would appreciate your help selecting the best and their trading symbols. Should I also consider I-shares and or Horizons preferred shares? Your opinion of their vulnerability in view of future interest rate increases is greatly appreciated. Many thanks,
J.A.P. Burlington

Q: Good Morning
I am rebalancing the 40% Fixed Income portion of my portfolio. I currently have 30% Preferred, 8% CVD, 33% Renaissance Global Bond. The remaining is currently in cash.
I am considering adding Pimco Monthly Income for the remaining 30%. Pimco is rated somewhat higher than Renaissance and is similar with a Global component. What would you suggest for a rebalance, an allocation to some Bond ETFs etc.
The Equity side is diversified and makes up the other 60%.

Thanks to all

Q: Hi,
Ive own a few etfs (vgg and vfv). I have some other individual stocks as well, but the majority of my portfolio is in the etfs looking for long term growth. I have been thinking about adding emerging markets but am having a hard time rationalizing it. I saw that a few days ago you recommended VEE. Can you explain the value of this etf, or is there a better way to get some emerging markets exposure? VEE opened at 24.65 4 years ago and has been up and down a little, but is only at 28.84 today. Is 4 years not thinking long enough for this? Im just having a hard time seeing the value of adding it to my account since VFV has doubled and VFV is up 65% in less time.

Thanks!
