Q: Good afternoon team
I’m looking to add to the income side of my portfolio and already hold 10-15% of ZPR and CPD.
I’d like to add another 5% to the income side of my portfolio so which one or two options do you advise?
I’m looking for more income with little or no growth as my equity weighting is fairly high in dividend paying stocks as well as growth stocks already?
Thnx in advance!

Q: From your answer to Jeremy on Jan. 18.
Bombardier is likely one of those companies, for better or worse, that we would have a very hard time endorsing. It has been a consistent value destroyer for shareholders, always seems to get into disputes with custoemrs, and needs government support often.
Could you give 2 or 3 names that could replace BBd?

Q: Multiple questions:
According to my information 92 percent of Fortis’s revenue is from regulated sources. As such would increases in interest rates only effect the company in the short run as the increases in interest expense would eventually be passed on to the consumer when changes in the rate base are applied for by the company and granted by the regulators? This ignores the maturity date of the company’s debt and the fact that the rate base increase granted may be less than that applied for.
Not in your area of expertise but I would appreciate your opinion on state owned China Mobile (CHL: US) and Omega Healthcare (OHI: US) as to their suitability from a risk perspective for an income oriented retiree.
Thank you for considering these questions.

Q: I have held both the above for some years. Charts do not look good and I need growth as well as income. Would you suggest replacing them with something with better potential - perhaps AQN or something similar?? Thanks Jim

Q: Here it is again same old question in case something came up. I have room for 4 US stocks in either disc or tech tilted towards growth.

Q: For several years I have used Google Finance as a good starting point to understand a specific company's historical stock price trends, dividends, etc. as well as a means to compare with other stocks. This all changed in November 2017 when Google decided to abandon this excellent site with one that, from my perspective, is essentially useless. The new site also concentrates on US stocks, ETF's, etc. whereas the old site also contained information on Canadian securities. The change has prompted me to look at other sites. The only one I can see which provides something is Microsoft Money. It is somewhat more unwieldy than the old Google FInance but does provide some information. Can you provide some information as to what you would recommend as a replacement for the old, excellent Google Finance? I read that perhaps Morningstar or Yahoo were good alternates but it seems that Morningstar is somewhat restricted. I have not tried Yahoo
Thank you very much

Q: Peyto has been going down week after week at the same time that NYMEX gas prices have been increasing. Your going to tell me that Peyto doesn't get NYMEX prices it gets AECO price. OK but WHY is the AECO price so low; NYMEX today is over $3.20 and AECO price is ??? I used to look on the Alberta Gas Inc. website for the AECO price but it has not reported a new price since January 8th when it was around $1.50. So WHY is the Alberta price so low?? Thank you for your help. I thought we only had issues with OIL pipelines. Are gas pipelines also a problem?
