Q: I sold IPL out of a registered account a while ago. The current price is still below my sale price and I am thinking of getting back into the "small" pipeline space. Which would you recommend out of IPL, KEY and PPL (or any other). I already own ENB in a non-registered account.
Q: Hi Peter and crew
I currently own small positions in BEP as well as Brookfield Properties and was wondering whether or not I should add BAM. Do you think this is a good strategy? Can you suggest an alternative?
Thanks, as always for this great service.
Q: Sorry,
To be more specific regarding my question earlier today, my objective in these two accounts is growth. What stocks would you recommend today with this objective in mind?
Q: If I wanted to crystallize a capital gain on a gold or silver coin(s), could I just say I sold them at the closing price on a specific day and say I bought them back at the same price on the same day. Report the capital gain on my income tax. This would be instead of paying the exorbitant fees to sell the coins and buy them back from a dealer. If this would not fly, could I sell them to a friend at the closing price and buy them back from him at the same price on the same day an declare the capital gain? Thanks.
Q: Could you please provide your assessment of the earnings as reported today. As well can you comment on the transaction to allow a "new large institutional shareholder" to take a significant position in the Company.
Q: Thanks for response about REITS. Now knowing BYD.un is Income Trust rather than REIT, so it makes up 2 position weights in RRSP but in consumer discretionary, I thought of sell 50% of BYN.un and purchasing GIL. My thinking is that both are within same sector and would provide more diversification, and as BYD.un is topping and GIL is more less off it's peak, the timing for this change would be overall good. What do you say? And/or is there another alternative to GIL? that would be good going forward......Thanks, again....Tom
Q: Please provide your opinion on whether ZRE and ZWB would see further downside if the U.S. Fed moves on a rate increase this year; or, does the current unit price on theses etfs "allowing" for a Fed hike?

Q: For diversification, would you invest in all three, or would a combination of LYB with CE be preferable, provided these investments would have growth potential given current volatile markets and uncertain oil pricing.
Thanks for your insights!
Q: I apologize in advance for this rather off-the-wall question.
A number of years ago I opened a separate account and I deposit $1000 per month on the 4th of each month. The account then automatically buys the same TSX etf a day or two later. I did this as a test to see if it would outperform my trading, but that is a different matter. My question is this -- wouldn't most retail investors be on average buyers early in any given month, and more likely a seller at the end of a month, everything else being equal. It seems like most of have more cash, on avarage, available at the beginning of the month, for a number of reasons. Would market prices therefore not tend to be higher early on a monthly basis rather than later? Do you know if this has ever been studied?
Cheers
John
