Q: The company just released its YE and Q4 results this morning and things look stellar to me. Why would share price took such a beating (down 6%)? Kindly provide your expert review of the results and its future prospects. Much appreciated.
Q: Hi Peter and team,
How would you rate BGI.UN as a long term hold for a retiree?
I'm attracted by its high yield and the stability, I assume, of its type of assets.
How safe do you think that yield is?
Is it taxed as return of capital for a Canuck?
Thx,
Mike
Q: Hi, Peter and team I would like your insight on this company as a long term hold for dividend income. Thank you for all the great help you provide to the small investor.
Q: Good day,
I have been considering trimming if not selling my insurance exposure out right because of falling interest rates. With more and more Central Banks experimenting with negative rates it is possible that eventually Canada and the USA try out negative rates. Would there be any merit in selling GWO,MFC,SLF to buy FFH? My rationale is I could maintain some insurance exposure but if the whole system implodes (this is why they are considering negative rates to begin with because traditional monetary stimulus isn't working), clearly there must be some risks of a black swan event out there. Like you, I don't like to go zero weight any sector so this way I could maintain insurance exposure but also have down side protection? Or should I keep it simple and simply reduce my insurance weight.. Thanks.
Q: Looking to potentially add some U.S. Healthcare stocks in a RRSP. We already hold JNJ.
Any thoughts on GILD vs. UNH or MRK or COO...how would you rank these?
Thanks so much.

Q: Hi 5i: I am down a little more than 20% in each of BOS, DRT, KXS and MAL. AS far as I can determine, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with these companies so I am planning to hang on. What would you advise? Are there any I should sell?
Q: Hello Peter,
I’m looking to build up the higher quality part of my portfolio. I’d like to add a few reasonably stable, well-managed companies that pay at least a 2% dividend and that have a decent likelihood of longer-term modest growth.
Based on today’s markets and prices, can you please suggest 6 good Canadian candidates (including one REIT), and 4 US choices (or international if traded on our or the major US exchanges).
Please do not include banks or oil & gas, which are already well-represented, nor the following which are also currently held: BAM, FTS, T, HCG, BCE, or ENB. And could you agree with KBL being one of the 6 Canadian options? Thanks! James
