Q: The share price of MIC has fallen from $82 to $74 over the last few days.
I have held the shares for several years and have a good capital gain. I also hold BIP.UN ( both stocks in my RRSP). Would this be a good time to
sell MIC and just top up on BIP.UN. Thanks. Joe

Q: I am up 100% on Boyd in my RRSP. I am slowly dispersing my RRSP and putting the money in my non registered account to collect dividends for a passive income lifestyle.
Boyd only pays 0.6%. With that in mind, would you replace this stock with another or buy Boyd again for its growth prospects. What would you replace this stock with in an investment account to boost dividends for income. I own most of your income and balanced stock picks.
