Q: Likely this has been asked, but could you clarify what your A,B etc rating means. I currently invest in most A to B+ rated companies. You touched on this in yesterday's market call segment.

Q: Per IShares website, CPD's current trailing and distribution yield is 4.82%, or 5.32% pre MER which looks attractive. However, in scanning the current yield of Scotia Capital's preferred share universe holdings it is hard to envision the universe yield is nearly that high. IShares reflects CPD's monthly distribution simply as a cash amount of about 6.2 cents, no other break-down is provided. While CPD may not exactly represent the Universe it is very diversified and appears relatively representative. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks.

Q: I need your advice on the fixed income portion of my portfolio, currently 17%. The equity portion is a well diversified mix of dividend payers, mostly 5i companies. Current fixed income holdings are:
CBO (2%)
XHY (2%)
CVD (2%)
CPD (2%)
CF.PR.A (1%)
5 year GIC Ladder (3%)
HISA/Cash (5%)
The first rung of the GIC ladder recently matured, but I have been reluctant to purchase another 5 year GIC with rates being so low (~ 2.05%). Would I be better off with a floating rate ETF like HFR or FLOT, or should I just continue with the laddering strategy knowing that eventually it will adjust to rising rates? I am also aware that I lack any government bond exposure. I am considering CLF, but with a YTM of .75% I wonder if I would just be better of with a HISA at 1%. I am 40 years old with a 10-15 year time horizon. Your input is most appreciated.

Q: Hi All, I concur with Neil's suggestions regarding your forthcoming growth portfolio. Would not need to be extensive reasoning. More just one or two liners on each selection with a rating system. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Have only been a member for a short while but can see your good work already.
Q: Hi Team,
DH and BIP.UN are rising rapidly lately including today. Is there any particular reason for this action? On another note, CTC.A is dropping incessantly since December. Hold? Ironically DH was getting to 9% of equity and I was going to trim back to 5%. Probably still should? Thank you for great advice.

Q: CXI(TSX) is deemed a foreign investment, as it is domiciled in the US. I guess I should have noticed that before I bought it. Would that affect which account one should buy it in( registered or not), with respect to US withholding tax etc.? Also useful to note this for the 100K foreign reporting requirements.
