Q: I am building small trust accounts for each grandchild that hopefully will get them interested and informed in the market.
Can you comment on current holdings and suggest 2 or 3 additional stocks?
Criteria: Canadian, dividend-paying, relatively stable but with growth potential?
Many thanks for your great service.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I hold a large position in TELUS. But I'm concerned about the impact of a possible decision by the Canadian (or other) governments to refuse to accept the Huawei 5G system. Your thoughts? If I believe that Huawei will be rejected, would it be better to exit, or at least reduce, TELUS? Thanks in advance.

Q: My only holding in the communication sector right now is a half position in Telus and I would like to increase my weighting in the sector. Would you recommend that I top it up to a full position or purchase something else in the sector. I am also underweight US equities right now so I would accept a Canadian and/or US recommendation.

Q: Hi
I hold all these stocks in a non registered account, to take advantage of their dripping and tax advantages. I have the $ to buy another holding. What top 3 companies do you suggest to add to this mix for a long term hold, my goal is the highest dividend possible, with as little risk as possible. Also, do you have any issues with the compaies already held? I also have other growthier holdings in my tfsa as well as etfs for US and International exposure in my RRSP.
thank you

Q: In my RRSP account - I am looking to add 1 more company to the above list. I am somewhat of a conservative growth investor - would like something that will increase over time yet paying respect to risk. I am looking at BIP.UN or SLF - can you provide your opinion and maybe suggest others that you feel might "fit" ? Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: With all of the wizards running to keep their pensions, a platform has been used as another campaign promise, ie to legislate something like a 25% reduction in cell phone rates.
Although they haven't been elected and will certainly will not get a majority this time around I would like you to please give us your analysis of what would happen to T and BCE in the long shot chance this becomes legislation?

Thanks

Q: Hello Peter, any ideas about recent sell-off in RCI.B? I read some news about the back to school promotion intensify between RCI and Shaw's Freedom. Considering overall rate dropping backdrop, do you think Telecom sector is at bargain compared to other "safe" sectors (e.g., Utilities, REITs). THANKS!

Q: Hi 5i
Both Rogers and Telus seem to be on downward trends recently. Do you have any explanation why and should a current shareholder be overly concerned. Would you be sellers, buyers or holders at current levels?
Thx

Q: Hi, would like to lighten up or sell two of these companies to raise cash. Which of these do you least like? I like dividends and good management ,but not fond of debt, as they always get hit harder in any down turn.
Thanks for your advise
