Q: I have sold some of my winners to rebalance and would like to sell the above to offset some of the gains. Would you replace the above with other stocks or just wait 30 days and repurchase these?

Q: Good morning. I own some kinder Morgan preferred shares - kml.pr.a specifically - and would appreciate your assessment of how the takeover of the TMP by the Cdn. government might affect the valuation of those shares. I assume that these shares would still be the responsibility of Kinder Morgan and not the government. Also, do you sense any increased risk related to these shares given this development. Thanks.

Q: Could you please some clarification on your response to Stephen this morning on his desire to crystallize some of his capital gains? You suggested that he sell the above and replace them. Did you mean not wait the 30 days to rebuy these but to get something now instead? I had thought you were especially supportive of TOY and AQN so have your thoughts changed on these companies?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: On BNN this morning Larry Berman made a comment about ETFs that are sold in Canada and are essentially repackaged ETFs from the US. He stated that there is some double taxation going on. I believe related to withholding taxes although he didn't explain in detail.
I hold VGG and VEE which are repackaged holdings of VIG and VWO, respectively.
Is this in fact true and how much of an impact would this mean to the rate of return?

Q: Energy Sector - I am hearing that in 2020 the IMO will be enforcing ban on ships that use fuel with higher sulfur content. To take advantage of this can you recommend refiners that will benefit as well those oil companies producing more light oil. Thanks AJD

Q: Goodmorning 5i,
I have noted your positive views on Premium Brands and have been considering purchasing it. I don't want to have too many stocks and so I have thought of selling Conagra in order to purchase it. This is also because companies like Conagra seem to be having trouble negotiating the change in habits and diets of people today. Although analysts seem to think it has a little brighter future at the moment. I generally have a well diversified and relatively conservative portfolio. My concern is that pbh seems to be quite narrowly focused in comparison to a company like CAG. Do you think this would be a reasonable switch?
thanks for the great service, as always

Q: Hi 5I,
With a zero weight I am considering a possible two of the three mentioned companies as new income generating positions.
Two part question - (1) which are most suitable for more stable income (& why) and (2) considering the interest rate environment, would this be less than ideal timing to start new these as new positions

Thanks again
Mike
