Q: Good morning, Portfolio Analytics suggests we (as elderly seniors) lower our Utility holdings by 6.32%. Currently, we have:
AQN 3.9 %, BEPC 3.5%, BIP.UN 4.6%, H 2.2%, SPB 1.8%. Firstly is there a holding I could eliminate? If not should I just lower the larger percentages? All are in RRIFs.
Second suggestion from Analytics is to lower telecom by 3.54%. Currently have BCE 4.2%, T 3.5% and GOOG 4.2%. T and BCE are in RRIFs. GOOG is in an unregistered account. I have always looked at GOOG as technology sector. Any comments. Thanks for your expertise.

Q: This company was featured on Dragon's Den I believe it is into the vegan food. I started watching it a few months ago when it was at 1.70. Over this time has declined and sat around $1.50 for a long time. Today it fell 15% to 1.20. Do have any insight on this company?? Does it have a future?? Would be a buyer or would you wait.? The 52 week high was $3.49.

Thank you
