Q: I currently hold ZRE for income. If I were to replace it with 4-5 individual REITS, which ones should I pick, in addition to CSH.UN? Would ZRE or the portfolio of individual REITS be more appropriate for a long-term hold with equal consideration to distribution yield and safety of the distribution? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter: I see another question on the % in each of the 10 sectors. Would it be possible for you to add this to the bottom of your 5i Coverage Summary each month with the up and down arrow if you feel a sector weight should be adjusted? I follow your sector %s and believe it helps me to sell high and buy low. The last time I saw this list energy was 5% and industrials was 20%. Thanks, John.

Q: I'm looking to free up some cash and among other things own the 5 big banks. They comprise 20.5% of my total portfolio, as follows: BMO 6%, RY 4.4%, BNS 3.7%, CM 3.3% and TD 3.1%. Should I focus on reducing my BMO exposure?

Q: I am a 46 y/o retired investor living on dividend income. I notice that your BE portfolio has a 3.5% holding of Telus (4.40% yield) and your Income portfolio has a 5.37% holding of BCE (4.92% yield).
While Telus currently has a lower current yield, it has a higher Dividend Growth Rate (DGR).
As a younger income investor, should my telecom holdings be more weighted to Telus over BCE as the Yield on Cost (YOC) should be higher for Telus in a few years because of its higher DGR?
Do you think that Telus has more company growth and therefore more stock price appreciation than BCE in the next 3-5 years?

Q: Could you comment on the suspension of the license at the Guatemala mine? I listened to part of the conference call. The basis for the suspension seems weak, but you never know what the real politics are. There was not too much more info than in the press release, but to summarize:
- balance sheet is strong at approx. $165 Mm
- $150 MM line of credit is being re-worked to provide flexibility in the short term
- other to projects in development (Bell Creek, Shahuindo) will continue without interruption
- current month's dividend will be paid; dividends are a board decision, so management could not comment on future months
I have a 1% position at $10.80. Would you buy a bit more if the share price plummets on open?
