Q: Can you provide comments on today's results. Markets don't seem very happy. Is it an overreaction to the Q3 results or is it more tied to the news about HCP divesting of properties Brookdale has under lease ?

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a well balanced portfolio. I am considering a switch from CJ into PEY.

For background, I own full positions in ALA, AQN, FTS, TRP and half positions in WCP and CJ.

RBC has had an Outperform rating on CJ for several quarters, but it has been lagging. Should I give it more time?

Is PEY a better fit into my portfolio, for diversification of gas vs oil, small vs mid vs large cap, and consistent long term growth?

Thanks, Steve

Q: Hi 5i. In April of 2015, you discussed Cdn Dividend ETF's, and suggested that because CDZ (iShares Cdn Div Aristocrats) focused on Co's that regularly increase dividends, that it outperforms other Cdn. Div. ETF's, particularly over the long term.
Do you still consider this view to be valid, particularly as it compares to XDV (iShares Cdn. Select Div. ETF) and ZDV (BMO Cdn. Div. ETF). Thanks T.
