Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: My 20year old son has at least 2years of school left and has enough summer income and RESP to cover those years. He has been slowly building a portfolio that mirrors your balanced portfolio. With the take over of AVO his tech weightings are now 33% ( youth seems more comfortable with tech!). I am encouraging him to rebalance. Which do you think has the best 2+ year outlook. ATD.B, SLF, WSP or SJ on the recent pullback. Thank you for all your suggestions, this is a fun kind of “problem” to have!

Q: Good Morning
I will appreciate your comments on EMA
Emera's debt to equity ratio is 69.43% (my broker's figures)
Can you please comment whether EMA will be able to pay down this debt with the rising trend in interest rates?
Is the dividend sustainable?
I am down 10% as of today. I am planning to average down if it drops below $40. Is this advisable? Or should I sell?
EMA is in my RIF account.
Thanks again for your insight.

Q: Good Day Looking at dipping my toe back into the energy sector. Please rate ARX and WCP. How strong are their balance sheets? Does 5i have a better play on energy. Or is it just to early for the energy sector?
