Q: Hi,

Finally opened a TFSA 6 months ago. Contributed $10K so far and expect to be contributing $1,000 - 1,500 per month for the indeterminate future.

Currently hold AQN (28%), MFC (24%), GUD (10%), PHO (7%), PEO (6%) and cash (25%). Looking at the following to use up the cash: ENB, SYZ, ITC, OTEX, SIS. I am open to any of your recommendations. Should I wait a couple of months to accumulate more cash?

Thanks.

Q: I see that Valiant has some assets that other will purchase. Does CXR have any assets that people would want to purchase. VRX had a pop of 10 % today on announcement of selling assets. Any hope for CRX selling something to get a pop in their shares or is it DEAD ! I noticed CXR was up today. Was that in sympathy to VRX move ? RAK

Q: Could you please give your thoughts on Dream Global and future prospects. They seem to be doing the right things in terms of recycling older buildings and reducing exposure to Deutsche Post along with acquiring better properties. They have fully deployed the proceedings of the bought deal with the announcement yesterday of the acquisition in Stuttgart. Most of the mortgages in Germany are around 1.7% and should not be affected for the most part by rising rates.

I doubt they will increase distributions anytime in the near future but my yield on cost is above 10% and the holding is around 6% of my portfolio. Thank you for your work.

Q: Hello Peter, being now within a few years of retirement, we are managing to put extra money into a non-registered account on top of our diversified RRSPs. The idea is that we will build a portfolio of full positions in a variety of solid companies for long-term income and growth. To date, we have ATD.B, ENB, L, FTS, CGX, T and CXI. I'd next like to add two tech stocks, as we currently have no representation from that sector. Can you please suggest two top picks. (While irrational, CSU would psychologically be a tough one for me to buy, as it came within pennies of my order price under $500 last summer! But if that's one of them, so be it.) I've also considered OTEX. Will appreciate your suggestion.

Q: Hi Folks,
I'm looking to add a REIT or two to my income portfolio. I'm also aware of the possibility that rates may increase over the next year or so. I was thinking that "growthy" REITS would provide some protection from rising rates. Could you suggest two or three REITS with the potential for above average growth with a sustainable distribution. I'm OK with some riskier names.
Great work, as usual.
Dennis

Q: Good morning 5i
Please advise on the above and similar income related funds. I am trying to set up a retirement income. At 76 yrs old and I have about $100,000.00 to invest. Safety is important as well as income. Your previous advice has been taken.
Thank you
Terry
