Q: With interest rates rising (in the US) the ongoing babble from so many 'experts' has been to stay away from 'bond proxies', namely utilities, telcos, pipelines, etc. However, those stocks have been performing quite well since the fed raised rates. Today Desjardins came out with top picks for 2017 (in the G&M which suggested Algonquin's forecasted returns would grow by 39% next year and Fortis by 17%. Do you think they're being too optimistic? And are these forecasted results already baked into the stock prices?

In the technology sector I definitely have enough CSU, and enough ENGH and OTC. I also own GIB.A and SHOP. I have been wanting to buy KXS, but am wondering with 5 technology positions already owned does it make sense to add KXS? Will I be over diversified if I add KXS?
