Q: Hello Peter

In my power balanced portfolio I have: CSU, ESL, SJ, CCL.b, BYD.un, ATD.b, MG, KXS, DOL, PBH, DHX.b.

My question is: what is wrong with my portfolio that on the such a good day today on TSX +158 pts., all of my stocks accept for CSU and MG went down!!
What is wrong with my portfolio selection and what would you change.

Thank you Andrew

Q: Thanks for your quick response. If such is the case, with resources getting stronger coupled with energy regaining favour, one would only assume the Canadian Dollar will continue to strengthen. I sold half my position this am before the drop, should I consider dumping the other half.
Thanks

Q: I have some extra cash to deploy and am trying to decide between aw.un (already have metro and atd.b), bep.un (already have snc lavalin), and enb (already have it,ipl and keyera). This is in a registered account and I am looking mainly for a dividend. Am already overloaded with financials.
Also, is bep.un going to be affected by the recent concerns about the brookfield company's accounting?
thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, What are your thoughts on RSI as an income investment? From this point do you think it will probably have moderate growth? At the current dividend rate I would not expect an increase but would be content with the 7+ %. Thanks for all your advice.
