Q: At current levels this ETF is down ~21% from highs set in January 2018. With a ~4% yield and 18B in net assets would you see the current levels as attractive to begin to step into the ETF? In your opinion is brexit already priced into this ETF, or would expect more downside should brexit go through? Your thoughts on the opposite scenario where Britain remains in the EU would also be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Based on today's reported Newmont offer for Goldcorp (.328 of a Newmont share + US$ .02 or US$11.46 per G share) would you advise taking the offer, selling one's G holdings for cash or waiting for a possible sweetened offer? Many thanks.

Q: My daughter TFSA contains the above stocks. She can add 1 (full position) or 2 (half position) this year. What would be a good fit for her present holdings? Would you suggest selling Stella Jones &/or Telus and replacing it with something else? She has a long time frame as she will not need the money in the foreseeable future.

Q: I have some money to deploy, and would like to concentrate on dividend paying stocks above. Do you think at the current price points I can buy in or would it be wise to wait for any to come down a bit? I am looking to create some dividend income.
Thanks

Q: Hi all,

I'm down on all 3 of the above stocks - but I still like them. I think I just need to be told to hang on, it can be a bumpy ride. Forgot to ask - can I add to these positions at this time, to average down?

Q: Hello. Happy New Year

I own several preferred shares issued by different companies... ENB(reset), FTS(fixed), FFH(reset), TRP(reset). I bought them many years ago and have some loss. Since they're all outside my RRSP and TFS, I'm thinking to sell all, replace them with new preferred shares issued by another companies and then claim a capital loss. Do you think it is a good idea?

Questions:
1) What preferred shares do you suggest I should buy, fixed reset, perpetual?
2) Which companies preferred shares are ok to buy?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Recent questions on this REIT have met with no major concerns including quoting a reasonable pay out ratio. Scotia in their December 21st report quotes AFFO payout ratios of 107.7 % for 2018, 102.7% for 2019 and 97.4% for 2020.
What do you use in your payout ratios and how does that differ from AFFO?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis
