Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I own the following in a non-registered account. (I own growth stocks in my TFSA, and US/international equities and Canadian bonds in my RRSP). The goal is to DRIP the following stocks in my non-registered account until I retire and then use the income only to cover some monthly expenses.
CPD; BNS; SLF; FTS; ENB; ALA; BCE; CHP.UN; NWH.UN; VET; NWC; and EIF.
Do you have any concerns with any of these companies long term?

Q: In this mornings G&M, there was an article by Sean Pugliese about Canadian REITs that included a table of interesting REIT data. According to Mr. Pugliese, the Debt/Equity ratio for NWH.UN is 324%. Do you agree with that number and, if you do, do you think that it jeopardizes the value of this REIT?

Q: I have 1% in NWH.un since a long while. Healthcare equity income as a long term hold. Their recent deal appear to provide them with safety and growth.
Looking to buy more. Do you think management could be given credit for their vision and operational execution, and how would you rate it now for income?

Q: Having sold my AAR.UN on the buyout news, I have been sitting on some cash and looking at either DIR.UN or NWH.UN to replace AAR. Do you have a preference between these two, and your reasons. Note that I am more interested in income stability than growth, and already hold a small position in NWH.UN.
Thank-you

Q: I hold these 3 RIET’s in my investment accounts. I am looking for a replacement for H&R. Would appreciate your suggestions to provide a reasonable return with some growth. The holding will be in a taxable account.
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,
I hold a balanced total portfolio across my TFSA, RRSP and non-registered accounts. I keep my highest dividend payers in my non-registered and currently have them on DRIPs. Are there any of theese that you don't think should be on DRIP because they are too risky?

ALA, KWH.UN, FTS, BNS, SLF, GS, NWH.UN, ECI, EIF, BCE

Q: I am in my late 30's, and I have a long-term time horizon. However, I find myself gravitating towards stocks with stable businesses that pay dividends. I currently own BEP.un, NWH.un, CSH.un, and SLF.
For a long-term, yet somewhat conservative investor, what are some companies that I should consider adding to my portfolio? Thanks in advance!

Q: Hi,

I'll be managing my spouse's account in the next month or so. One of the reasons we'll be managing it ourselves it is that our current manager does not take a balanced approach to portfolios, thus she has about a 25% weighting in REITs. Below are the REITs she holds, can you prioritize them in terms of what to hold or sell? Each of the below is between 2 and 4% of our portfolio value and we don't need the income.

Northwest Healthcare
BTB REIT
Extendicare
Dream Office
Northview Apt
Slate Office REIT
One REIT (which is being bought out I understand)

Thx.
