Q: Hello 5i,
I held BEPC in a non registered US account as dividends supposedly were in US dollars. I sold BEPC and added to my BEP in that US non registered account. I also have BEP.UN in a non-registered Canadian account. Should I keep both BEP and BEP.UN or would it be advantageous to sell one of them and add to the other? If so, which one? I have increases in each but am within the portfolio percentage of where I want to be.

Q: Hi, I have these 3 companies in my new TFSA acct. at about 1.5-2% each. ( I have quite a bit of room to add ).
I like each one and will be adding to each, but would also like to add two or three more for better sector diversity, any suggestions? I do like dividends but not necessary.
Thanks for your input.

Q: I own both ENB and PPL and are down 21% and 31% respectively. I keep thinking this has to the bottom for these two low risk pipelines and yet share prices of these two keep on sliding. Would you recommend doing an averaging down at these levels for both, just one, or none?

Of course in my "perfect world" scenario I'm collecting over 8% yield on the new additions for now, and chances for a big rebound in SP down the road. You insight is much appreciated.

Q: I am going to sell TD Bank in a cash account for capital gains to be used against capital losses earlier this year. I could buy it back immediately or purchase something else. I am thinking of PPL. Which would you pick for reasonably safe total return over the next 2 years?
What Cdn non-tech stock would you pick for best reasonably safe total return over two years?

Q: I am interested in buying this for an income holding but don't find any info on this particular issue.
Is it trading at a fair price here and what happens when interest goes below 1%?
Where can I find out when the rate is reset and at what rate.
Is there a recall date?
Thank you for your tremendous service.

Q: Just a question about the conversion, and the cost basis of my units. At the end of August, the value shown on my statements agreed to my records. Say it was $100. When I checked today, the cost value is shown at $50. Can you easily answer why the cost would be impacted? Perhaps a problem with my broker? I don't know much (read nothing) about Income Trusts. Thanks.
