Q: I bought a 1000 shares in 2016 at $48.00 and now have 2250 due to share (units) distribution by BIP.UN. My adjusted cost base including distributions is now $1.00.
Sell or hold? Not a big appreciation of capital over this time other than the unit distributions?

Q: I am looking at fixed income potential across sectors as a low risk offset to my equities and would appreciate your recommendations. It doesn’t look like the space has good future prospects overall with rates having just dropped.
Of notable options, high interest saving accounts, bond funds, utilities, dividend index’s and perhaps reits, the reits and dividend indexes have superior yields.
Could you please comment on the space overall, which sectors are advisable and possible suggestions for purchase please?

Q: BIP.UN: owned for a very long time in N.R.A. Bought 1000 shs @ 48.16 in 2016 - now have 2250 shs (paid in dividend) so my A.C is very low. ($21,40) Price has been stagnant for quite a while: hold or sell and buy something else?
