Q: Hi, Peter,

I am thinking of buying LFE.to, a basket of Cdn. life ins. preferred etf.I have missed taking a position in a Canadian Life ins. Is, this a good way to play the ins. area, or will it be riskier if interest rates rise? Would i be better to buy one of the ins. co's such as Sun life or Manulife?

Thanks, Jan Lucas

Q: Good morning Peter & team,
I have been considering adding more energy stocks to my dividend-oriented portfolio, namely Arc Resources and Vermilion Energy. I am a bit perplexed on the valuations of these companies. Both pay a decent dividend in the 4.35% to 4.55% range. What confuses me is that the payout ratios for each are well over 100% (though the dividends are covered by cash flow), and the P/E ratios are sky-high. Am I looking at the wrong metrics here? Is there another, more appropriate way to evaluate these companies? My initial thought is that despite the energy sector's struggles, these are very expensive stocks. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

Q: Good morning 5i. I hold 1,250 shares of BTB REIT in my TFSA account. The stock is down 4%+ this morning, presumably a reaction to issuing new shares to pay down debt and other purposes. Your thoughts on this small REIT?

Thanks as always

Q: Peter,

I have a link below to a King World News interview with William Kaye. I was curious about your take on his comments on the physical gold market, if you have a take.
