Q: Considering the addition of a couple of dividend yielding stocks to enhance my wife's monthly income. Presently she has RY, PPL, BCE, KEY, DRG.UN, & STB. While you have not generally recommended STB in the past, I have picked it up periodically for the substantial dividend & this year to date it is up approx. 60% plus the dividend. I would however appreciate your expertise in ranking the following as to their financial stability & current price level for the next 12-18 months: AW.UN, BPF.UN, SRV.UN, KEG.UN & CWX. Thank you.

Q: A comment by a member on his tsfa contribution .in my opinion the tsfa naps been the the best investment vehicle that ever was created and I will always be thank full to the Harper gov for introducing it .
My wife and I generate $600 tax free every month in dividends and in the new with add 7200 that we took out plus our 11000 allowance .
We have found lif rif and Resp to be a burden in our old age i view it as money behind the wall and withdrawals cause claw backs to our oas .
I would encourage ever one to take advantage to what I believe is the best investment vehicle ever introduced
Best regards
Stan

Q: I don't hold much in the way of fixed income but based on your sage advice, I have decided to take the plunge. The question now becomes the best way to do it. It seems I have three options. One, buy an ETF. This is easy to do, the MER cost is low and it provides diversification. However, there is no maturity so downside risk is greater and although the cost is low, there is still a cost. Two, buy preferreds. I understand that with the rate reset feature, downsize risk is minimized but there is no maturity date so the initial capital may never be regained. But they are easy to buy. Third, purchase individual bonds. The return could be higher (especially if corporate) and capital should be returned at maturity. However, I have no idea how to buy individual bonds. Can they be purchased through most on-line trading accounts? How do you find individual bonds that are for sale and how do you determine if it is good value (I have no particular expertise in this area)?
Is my synopsis fairly accurate? If so, what do you recommend as the best way to proceed in acquiring this class of assets?
Appreciate your insights.

Q: Last July , you put together a report entitled " Report of Target Price Data" . The report listed stocks that were undervalued . Many were sadly beaten up , but two of the " Strong Buys" from the first 2 pages returned over 300% as of last Friday .

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,
If you were purchasing today, what stocks and/or ETFs would you buy for each of the TSX eleven sectors? (Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Healthcare, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate, Telecom, and Utilities). Please give at least two choices for each sector.
My daughter-in-law has finally sold her high-MER, low-performing mutual funds, and I have set up a self-directed account for her LIRA, her RRSP, and her TFSA. She is 48 and will probably work till at least 65.
Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem necessary. Thanks in advance for all your valued assistance.
