Q: Peter and Team,

My portfolio is largely in line with the balanced equity model portfolio. I currently have 3.9% of the portfolio in IPL. I wondering if I am better off keeping IPL or moving that money (and may be increasing the position to 5%) to Brookfield Renewable Power. It feels like the world is shifting to renewable regardless of economics and I am wondering if BEP will give me a better long term return than IPL. As a piece of side info, I hold stock in TransCanada as well.

Thanks for the input.

Q: please tell everyone that a stock which is down 2% - 3% is not "plunging" or "getting hammered"

that's a media term for "please please please watch/read more here"

I think "plunging" should be reserved for 20%+ drops and "getting hammered" should be reserved for Fridays

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
How much importance should we allocate to debt/Equity ratio?
For example: Ratios for VNR, BEP.UN and RY are 5.39, 2.03 and 0.13 respectively. From these ratios, we should stay away from VNR and BEP.UN yet they are both included in your income portfolio and BEP.UN has A rating. The ratio for VRX is 4.76
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter et al.,
I have an overweighting in CDN stocks in my RSP/RIF accounts. Where could I find info on CDN companies who derive their sales/profits mostly in the US? Is there an ETF with such a configuration?
Thanks

Q: In all the releases, as expected, DH management emphatically defended the company against the shorter report, but never issued any specific counter points on those accusations in the print releases. I missed the morning CC session, but are you aware if management dealt with the key specific attack points during that forum. Thanks.

Q: Any thoughts on PM's quarterly numbers? There seems to be an enormous chasm between the expected earnings per share and what Prism actually delivered. Taking into account the one time items, the gap closes a little but still I'd like your expert opinion on the numbers.

Revenues were up nicely but earnings fell significantly. Do you see anything in the numbers that raises a red flag or cause for concern?

2016 earnings per share estimates were 75 cents, prior to today's q3 numbers. Any guesses what the new estimates will be for 2016?

Thanks for your time.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I saw this article on National Post that could be driving down ATD.B. Sounds like Credit Suisse analysts are saying that its price to cash flow ratio is inflated and that it's driving a bubble in consumer stocks. What are your thoughts on this? I have a fairly large position (~8%) in ATD.B and don't want to get caught in a sector falling out of favor (like what just happened in biotech).

Q: I understand that Canadian rules are more lax than those in the US and that is one reason why they are shorting Canadian stocks. Also, that the hedge funds have underperformed in the last number of years,so this is another way for them to boost their bottom line.
