Q: I hold smaller positions of the above collection of what I would consider to be "second tier" income stocks in an unregistered account. I also have BIP.UN, CSH.UN and HR.UN in a TFSA. I want to raise a bit of cash before the snow melts; which two or three of these would you sell first?

Thanks for the wonderful service - I've just renewed again!

Q: Hi, have been thinking of selling Csh bought at 11.60,because of poor showing,and has been lowered from buy to hold.I also have Sia,Gud,Crh for a 8% sector weight.
Would you be fine with selling or keep holding,I do need the dividend.
Also if I sell could you give me 2 or 3 dividend replacements,don't worry about sector.
Thanks for your advice

Q: I manage my husband's and my TFSA's as if they are one account so we do not duplicate the stocks in the 2 accounts and can have a reasonable size of position. We have a similar weighting of ALA, REI.UN, SIA, WSP, ZEB, BEP.UN, CGX, and HR.UN and PKI, and a double weighting of CPD and CDZ. We currently have about $110K in the two accounts and $20K of that is in cash. Can you suggest what we might add to or change in the above list, considering that we prefer income paying securities with some growth prospects and want the TFSA's to act independently of our other investments as a relatively conservative growth vehicle.

Q: I'm 78 and interested in income with security of capital and I'm wondering about changing the percentage allocation of various sectors. For example, rather than hold 5% in each of healthcare, materials and energy, I'm considering holding 15% in healthcare. NWH.un, SIA, DR and SIS are broadly diversified within the sector, provide an excellent average income and have been generally approved by 5i. What do you think, and feel free to make suggestions.

Thanks for all the steady, interesting and profitable suggestions daily.

Q: Good afternoon, Peter & Co.
Considering your recent comments and analysis would you recommend that I sell my SIA and buy EXE? Also, I have had a decent run with CNE and it may now be overvalued. I am slightly underweight in the energy sector. Would you recommend selling CNE and moving to different energy company? I own High Arctic and Brookfield Renewable as well as small positions in Tourmaline and Crius. Dividends are not very important to me. I am underweight in the energy sector.
With appreciation.

Q: Can you compare the key metrics for these seniors REITS and indicate your order of selection. CSH seems most favoured by analysts but has lowest distribution, why? Do you consider these a buy right now?

Q: We own both of these companies in a riff account for the dividend and hopefully some growth given the demographics. Any reason why they have dropped so much recently ( seems to be more than the market) and would you buy more at these prices?
Thank you. Maggie

Q: Hello; You have spoken favorably about SIA in previous commentary; My concern is about valuation and its vulnerability in an increasing rate environment. Can you comment about SIA's stock price relative to operational cash flow. I suspect it is in the 15 to 20 range which seems very high. Thanks for your great service.
