Q: I already have a 3.9% position in KWH.UN and would like to add another 3% position in a utility. I am leaning toward AQN but worry that I am putting too much into the renewable sector. Should I be concerned and buy FTS instead for diversification purposes ? And is a 7% utility portfolio weighing appropriate ?

Q: Hello Peter
As a recent new member, I am both impressed and a little overwhelmed with all the information. I started making a lists of potential companies to invest with, but decided to cut to the chase and just ask you....I am looking for your recommendation for both income and growth companies.... perhaps 4 or 5 of each. I am fully invested in TD, which has done well for me this last year, as well as a couple energy stocks.... Spartan and Ring. I am retired but have a steady income flow with pensions and dividends from an ongoing business. Thank you for offering such a great service and look forward to a bright and lucrative future. Brian

Q: Both AQN and ENB hit this morning with ENB reaching a yield over 5%. Have no pipelines and a 4% position in utility { KWH.UN } Considering a 4% position in each of the above. Is adding AQN over weighting utilities speculatively ? What is the reason for ENB's pullback of 3% today and do you approve of a purchase at today's prices. If I were to only add one which would it be ? Cash position currently 23%.
Thank you

Q: I have a full position in AQN and have become interested in INE due to their latest aquisition. Please compare the two for growth and income. Should I switch, or would a half position in each make sense? - Cheers, Ted
