Q: Is there any difference between the etf and the mutual fund pm005? Would a combination of pmif and cpd make sense for the fixed income portion of a portfolio? What percent of each would you suggest?
Q: Good Evening
Can you please comment on the reasons for the 7.5% drop for IPL. during the last two days?
As a general rule, if yields approach the 7-8% range there is usually some concern with companies not being able to sustain their dividend pay outs.
I will appreciate your comments with respect to IPL's prospects going forward.
Thanks

Q: I am a long time holder of FC and it has been fine for income but the stock is down this year and virtually hasn't moved in seven years. I was considering a switch to Atrium for a similar dividend and a slow but steadily increasing share price. Your thoughts?
Q: Currently, I am down over 50% on PEY. I don't really want to sell at the bottom but am concerned about the sustainability of the dividend. I don't necessarily need the dividend, so would it be a good move right now to replace PEY with BIR?
Q: What do you think is best for monthly income/moderate principal protection? Could you explain your position on investing in dividend paying stocks vs bonds/preferds/other options? Thank you
Q: What do you think of an investment in Volkswagen? It seems to be recovering nicely since it's emission scandal. I'm interested in it because of their research into self-driving cars, battery technology and interest in cryptocurrency (IOTA). It seems like a forward looking company with growth potential.
Q: I would appreciate your opinion of the value, or lack thereof, that the shares of Atlassian Corporation (TEAM) might currently offer? I'm seeking investments that might reasonably be able to provide me with a 10% or better, total return over the next 12 months.
Regardless of your opinion of Atlassian; any suggestions you might have for other firms which one might reasonably be able to expect a 10% total return or better from, over the coming year, would also be welcome.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! Cheers and thank you!
Q: I am holding 20,000 Patient Home Monitoring shares that I can sell now for breakeven. My question is should I get out today or hold as we could see a bump with another split announcement and then sell or hold until after split?
Do we know what the BV might be?
Q: What do you make of the take-up on the ALC tender offer? I recognize that there were severe tax disadvantages involved but in a TFSA, RESP, RRIF, RRSP one would not care. 25% take up was even less than I expected. During 2017 there have been 2 dividend increases and the tender offer. Do you think they might be signaling improved operating performance?
Also, with respect to Bob Rose's question regarding the strategic review of ADN, it came to naught. Please refer to the Q1 2016 report of May 9, 2016.
