Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,

I am currently invested in various etfs under my wife and my registered accounts.
1) I would like to make BE portfolio as my core portfolio with about 20 stocks in it. Which stocks should I exclude and also please recommend 5 to 10 stocks from the Income portfolio
2) Should I split the portfolio holdings between my wife and my registered accounts to reduce the transaction costs or it is a good strategy to keep the same holdings as a separate portfolio in our accounts. We have an investment timeframe of 15+ years.

Thanks

Q: Hello
I just read about the tariffs applied to P&G more specifically the toilet paper they sell here in Canada.

I assume that if P&G up the price of Charmen TP in Canada then KPT will follow and hike the price of its Casmere TP. Thus increasing their margins.

Do you think this development is ''material''for KPT?

Thanks
Stephane

Q: As a follow-up to Larry's question on July 10, which pre-supposed my own, I had one more point: I am looking for two companies which will need to be cashed out in 2 years. Do these two fit the bill, or would you recommend something else? Just looking for growth. Dividend not important. Feel free to suggest two others which might have more bang for the bucks. Sectors not important, as I'm well-diversified and comfortable with present portfolio, thanks to 5I of course. : )

These two new positions would be "mad money" undertakings. Thanks.

Q: I know that these 3 are intimately linked. I am wondering the advantages and disadvantages of each. As far as dividends and dividend growth, they rank PWF, POW, GWO (decreasing).

I am trying to chose one, but unsure which is better. Could you please outline the pros and cons of each?

Q: What do you make of the recent announcement on Sedar (July 3rd) regarding Michael Wekerle's acquisition of more shares in Mogo? Can anything be read into this purchase? I suppose he's either expecting the stock to go up for some reason or is positioning himself to take over the company (if that is even a realistic possibility, which I don't know). I would be interested in your comments. Thanks as always.

Q: Can you explain why Fortis shows a negative free cash flow, and how this relates to its dividend? Is it because they have long term contracts in place, so they are able to predict further cash flows? When I compare it to Canadian Utilites, their free cash flow is positive. I feel like I’m missing something with Fortis.
