Thank you!

Q: Regarding your answer provided to Carla today on CVD and CPD, I understand your comments on CVD, but I am still not clear on how rising interest rates can impact CPD. How do rising interest rates affect a preferred share ETF such as CPD? Should I be cautious about buying at this time? Thanks for all the awesome info you provide.

Q: Ryan and Peter. Best of the new year to you and the rest of the 5i team. Thanks to Ryan for his article about re-balancing portfolios. I agree that health care is the sector that provides some value. I have some exposure to Canadian health care but would like to buy some exposure to specific American health care companies. If possible, could you suggest a few companies that offer some growth in 2017 and provide a bit of a dividend? Thanks in advance for your appreciated guidance.
