Q: Hi folks,
I hold BCE and Telus in my RRSP. Would like to reduce my weighing in BCE. With that money I am looking at adding to one of... GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL or VISA which would bring one of these to a 9% weighing which I'm okay with. May I have your opinion as to which one you would add to and why.
Thanks

Q: Hi Team. With interest rates on the decline I'm thinking REIT's will become more popular. Also concerned with Telus's struggles so thinking of selling Telus and purchasing equal amounts of Dream Industrial REIT and Granite REIT with the sale proceeds. Would you have any concerns with this?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Team,

Thanks for your recent report on SVI.

In a non-registered account, we own DIR.UN, but not SVI. Looking at the charts, I see that SVI is outperforming DIR.UN over all time periods. Would you endorse selling about half of DIR.UN and using the proceeds to buy SVI?

Alternatively, we own Telus in this account, which is at a loss. Would you endorse selling all of T (for tax loss purposes) and use the proceeds to buy SVI. In this scenario, we wouldn't sell any DIR.UN.

Which alternative would be preferred?

Your valuable advice is always appreciated.

Q: Hi, looking to replace Telus, (I would have a tax loss), could you recommend 2-3 companies that might have a little better prospects going forward,( better growth)and also have a decent dividend. Or do you like Telus and continue holding?
Thanks

Q: hi 5i,
NTR,T,MG? I own these blue chip laggards. can you recommend them as BUY,HOLD, or SELL please. If any are a sell, could you suggest a few replacement names (CDN) with similar dividend yield and more (hopefully) share price growth potential? I am fine holding all for long term if you think the weakness is just cyclical.
cheers, Chris

Q: In many of your recent answers as well as your report, you mention "interest rate decreases" and that they could help stocks like Telus and BCE, TD and BNS. I am wondering how much of a decrease this would have to be, as I am reading many articles that suggest we are in an aura of higher for longer, and interest rates will not be going back to the ultra low rates we have seen in prior years. So my question is, in your opinion, what percentage decrease would we have to see before there would be some sustainable upside movement to these stocks? Thanks.

Q: We own Emera, BCE and Telus in a dividend portfolio and notes these three stocks were down today by around 3 percent. Should we be concerned holding any of these three over the next three years primarily for dividend income? Are their dividends safe and valuations reasonable to hold and/or accumulate?
