Q: Hi Peter & Team
Love your service. I have good pension income and a balanced portfolio of Cdn & US stocks in my TFSA's and non registered accounts.
I also have $300,000 in my RRIF accounts and would like to rebalance with a few conservative stock ETF's (3-4 ..?) to achieve US & Global coverage. What do you suggest ...

Q: I own both of these companies. Looking to increase my exposure to renewable energy companies. Looking to the future, do you see any greater upside in share price for either one or should I just increase my investment in each one? Do you know of any other Canadian companies that are comparable or may even have more chance of increasing in value as we move forward. Both of these companies are held in my RRIF account. Thanks for your much respected advice.

Q: I owned both of these names in the past and lately BEP.UN is acting like a runaway train and BPY.UN is like stuck in the mud. If I want to re-enter either one of these two names at very this moment, which one would you recommend for a combined return package (i.e., growth and yield)? Thanks.

Q: Google is trading close to January 2018 levels. Amazon is above March 2018 values but not dramatically. How much better are these companies then 20 and 17 months ago respectively on key metrics?
Are they as good a bet as you are going to get to beat the S&P 500 over the next 5 to 10 years? (I know a lot can happen over that time frame, but that is the same with every company)

Q: Can you explain a bit more about what is going to happen with the upcoming stock split? This is what I've seen so far: "Currently, unitholders are expected to receive 0.11 BIPC shares for each unit held of Brookfield Infrastructure (i.e., one BIPC class A share for every nine Brookfield Infrastructure units held) in the form of a special distribution." Also do you know when this will take place? Thanks!

Q: In January '19 I pivoted my portfolio to a defensive strategy which has let me sleep at night while returning 8.1% YTD through the end of September. But I also have kept about 30% cash in reserve. I am now doing a deep dive with a view to deploying that cash but all my defensive standbys all have sky high valuations. Thus, two questions:

1. Can you recommend any solid defensive, dividend paying stocks whose valuations are not through the roof? - I have the banks covered.

2. On a contrarian level can you recommend any energy stocks best poised to profit if/when that sector ever turns? A dividend payer is appreciated.

Thank you

Kim
