Q: I am wondering what your reaction is to the proposed 4 rate increases for 2016 and 4 more for 2017. My impression was that the rate increases would come much more slowly. Was this your expectation and what the effects would be on the US and Canadian economy and equity markets.
Many thanks
Mike

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My question is more relating to the discipline of trimming and adding to positions. My one account follows the Balanced Equity Portfolio very very closely. CSU, CCL, and SJ have held up very well of late (Thank you) which of course means they now represent 7.25%, 7.2%, and 6.75% of the total account value respectively. Should I trim these outperformers now and top up some of the laggards like CXI, BNS, AYA, etc. or allow the market to steady up a bit after all the tax loss selling, FED noise, etc. has abated and then reassess the situation ?? Thank you for your sage advice. DL

Q: Hello,

Is the dividend (19.96% as per TD) sustainable? I got hammered on WIN looking for a stable dividend, do you think the same scenario can happen with TS? Would you initiate a position here?

Thanks

Q: Hello,

I think the news today is not a good one for those who still hold the stock.
I have it in a registered account so selling for tax purposes is not an option, down 84%. Do you have any replacement recommendation?

Thanks

Q: I'm constructing an income portfolio and I'm looking for long term stability.

With Brookfield Renewable Energy, part of their dividend is comprised for a Return OF Capital. This is essentially giving back to shareowners a piece of the assets. I don't see how this is sustainable for any company, let along one that has a lot of CAPEX involved as it is a utility.

Can you help describe why management has chosen this course of action and what's the long term plan for the dividend?

Q: Hi Peter
I'm still holding a small position in Bellatrix at $3.00. At the current price of $1.35 would consider it still too risky, or do you think there could be some upside?
Thanks for this wonderful service and best wishes to you and your staff and families for the coming holidays. And, dare I say it, Merry Christmas.
