Q: I am concerned about Chemtrade based on poor quarterly results, closing risk of Canexus takeover, high distribution ratio, lack of dividend growth. Subject to your comments on Chemtrade, I would look to replace it with Telus (T) or a consumer defensive stock. In the latter case, I would be looking for a dividend yield of at least 4%.

Q: Hi Peter,
Enghouse has not been doing well. Do you still like it for long term hold? Any idea why Brookfield Bussiness Partners is going up today? Also, does recent announcement of Brookfield raising $14 B for the Global infrastructure Fund refer to BGI.UN? If so, is it better to invest in BGI.UN or BIP. UN? Lastly, Telecom stocks are stable but the PEs are quite high. Can you shed some light please? Thanks
