Q: A Money Saver Magazine had a interesting article (Richard Morrison, July August 2017) regarding that you should invest in places that you would be willing to live and places with low corruption. Denmark #1, New Zealand, Singapore,Sweden and Switzerland were among countries with the higher scores ahead of Canada #8 and the United States #18. Dividend yields are over 4% on the New Zealand and Switzerland etfs and company holding appear solid.
Are there any countries around the world that you are most bullish on and would you comfortable investing in the above etfs say 10-20% of a portfolio of a 30 something year old?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Nice article in the Globe about ENB
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/inside-the-market/bmo-sees-once-in-a-multi-year-buying-opportunity-for-enbridge/article37015852/
I have a question on the last part of the paragraph. The analyst does a good job explaining why the target price would increase in the long run, but the sense is better to do an equity issue than adjusting the dividend. Do you agree with this? Crescent Point kept issuing equity and did not bode well for the stock. I know the stocks are not the same, but would you expect a drop in share price if ENB does an equity issue? I have 7 percent weighting and am down. Is it best to keep that weight for now or take some loss and move it to TransCanada. Thanks very much.
We see strong rationale for ENB to reaffirm the 10-12-per-cent dividend growth guidance. While we found it surprising that management did not reiterate its 10-12-per-cent dividend growth guidance on the Q3/17 call, deferring the details to the December investor day, we believe it is a prudent exercise for ENB to continue to revisit its payout policy in the context of the record-high 5.5-per-cent dividend yield and credit rating overhang. In the end, we believe ENB will reaffirm the current dividend guidance: we believe issuing equity is less value destructive than tempering dividend growth given the material market valuation compression."

Q: Was doing some research on COV and noticed back in 2007 timeframe the stock was in the mid thirty dollar range. Is that accurate and was it just mis management which caused the decline? They have very strong products and I like the addition to the growth portfolio but was curious about the past.

Q: Hi!
I'm a new investor who is interested mostly in ETFs and mutual funds. I'd like to diversify my portfolio by region (e.g. Canada, US, global, international, emerging).
I have some cash on hand that I would like to invest. However, given the ongoing bull market, I'm concerned about an imminent correction. I was wondering if you could suggest some places to invest. Is it safe to invest in international or emerging markets at this moment? Or should I keep my money in cash and wait for a correction?
Thanks!

Q: I see the President, Shane Peet, abruptly left the company Nov.9th.. He had been with the company since inception.
Sounds a bit disturbing. Do you know why? Should we read anything into this considering quarterly results? Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Is KML only holds Canadian pipe line assets, and that means only holds Trans Mountain pipe line, if the expansion blocked that would be very bad for KML ?
Your comment is highly appreciated.
Thanks as always,
Tak

Q: I've recently sold my holdings and am entirely in cash. I'm wondering whether I should wait for a correction and take advantage of some bargains or whether I'm better off getting my money invested and not worrying about marketing timing. I realize you cannot "crystal ball gaze" but I'm interested in your comments regarding staying in cash and waiting for an opportunity to present itself vs. getting back into a portfolio. Thank you.
