Q: The question is in relation to a Cash Acct. which collectively yields sufficient dividends to support all necessary expenses on a yearly basis. The makeup includes the following:
AQN, DRG.UN, LNR, WSP, PKI, EIF, RBC Dividend Fund(all Cdn.. Bks), RBC as well as KEY & PPL which have been held for over 8 yrs. A large capital gain will result if either is sold but will be mostly offset by old losses. My question is which of the two do you recommend selling & suggestions for at least 2 GROWTH dividend yielding replacements. Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon team
I’m looking to add to the income side of my portfolio and already hold 10-15% of ZPR and CPD.
I’d like to add another 5% to the income side of my portfolio so which one or two options do you advise?
I’m looking for more income with little or no growth as my equity weighting is fairly high in dividend paying stocks as well as growth stocks already?
Thnx in advance!

Q: From your answer to Jeremy on Jan. 18.
Bombardier is likely one of those companies, for better or worse, that we would have a very hard time endorsing. It has been a consistent value destroyer for shareholders, always seems to get into disputes with custoemrs, and needs government support often.
Could you give 2 or 3 names that could replace BBd?

Q: Multiple questions:
According to my information 92 percent of Fortis’s revenue is from regulated sources. As such would increases in interest rates only effect the company in the short run as the increases in interest expense would eventually be passed on to the consumer when changes in the rate base are applied for by the company and granted by the regulators? This ignores the maturity date of the company’s debt and the fact that the rate base increase granted may be less than that applied for.
Not in your area of expertise but I would appreciate your opinion on state owned China Mobile (CHL: US) and Omega Healthcare (OHI: US) as to their suitability from a risk perspective for an income oriented retiree.
Thank you for considering these questions.

Q: Here it is again same old question in case something came up. I have room for 4 US stocks in either disc or tech tilted towards growth.
