Q: Hi, was thinking of buying some IPL for some income and growth (50-50). What are your thoughts on company as far as debt,management ,and future stability, when we have a market correction.
Would hold for longer term 3-4+ years. Or would ENB be a better option with lower dividend.
Thanks
Q: Peter; I tried finding out what this etf holds but couldn’t find it on the TSX quote or the size etc. I assume it very new and do have an opinion on it for income? Thanks. Rod
Q: When you introduced the Portfolio Analytics I immediately subscribed.The information provided has been very useful. The portfolio you suggested, based on the information I supplied, is made up solely of ETF's. I have very few ETF's in my portfolio and would prefer investing in individual stocks. That being said there are sectors where an ETF would be the better option such as in Healthcare.
You have listed 11 categories. What would be your top 5 stocks to own in each category? If in some of the categories an ETF would be more suitable could you please offer 2 suggestions.
Thank you so much for your great service.
Q: For many years I had held individual perpetual preferred shares, which I gradually sold and replaced with ZPR about 3 years ago. It had a similar yield, was of course more diversified, and could be easily traded if need be. This seemed like a good move, but after some decent gains it is recently moving back towards my purchase price (not counting dividends). I am contemplating selling ZPR and replacing with individual rate-reset preferreds with a floor. My thinking is that the rate-reset feature should help hold up the price when interest rate are increasing, and the floor should do the same if rates are falling. Could you comment on this strategy, and list some the the pros and cons of the rate-resets with a floor. My preferred share holdings make up about 7-8% of my total portfolio, and I am an income oriented investor.
Thank-you
Q: Hi the great 5i team, it seems that meeting estimates move stock prices up or down after quarterly report. Are there stocks in your portfolios that beat estimates 3 or more out of 4 times ?
Q: Peter; I own this company and have been happy with its performance- but do,you think it runs the risk of becoming the real estate CPG ? I guess a 4.4 cap rate is good in this environment but how long can they go to the new issue well without it running dry? Thanks.

Q: Where would you recommend I place $30k in a TFSA today (5 year hold). Only other holdings in this TFSA are $12k in iShares MSCI ETF (XAW) and $3k in Kelt Exploration (KEL).
Where would you recommend I place $60 in an RSP today (5 year hold).
Only other holdings in this RSP are $40k BMO Dividend ETF (ZDV), $10K NorthWest Co (NWC), and $15k Richards Packaging (RPI.UN).
Given the size of the portfolios, probably one or several ETF's, instead of more individual stocks? And probably better non-Canadian exposure? Anything else to be sold here before repositioning?
I guess that's 3 or more questions, please charge accordingly. Thanks.
Q: what would be the maximum weight that CAE should be owned in a balanced portfolio? If at 7% would you trim this back to 5% or even less then this?

Q: I plan to reduce my Financial Services exposure. I would like your opinion on whether I should sell BNS or TD or half of each (all things being equal, my preference would be to reduce the number of holdings by one).
