Q: I have held on to Cominar REIT and Northland Power for a year and a half and 2 years respectively on the theory that there is no point in realizing my loss and putting the money to work elsewhere unless the outlook for CUF and NPI is dim. Is my reasoning right, and if it is, is the outlook OK for those two? CUF, sadly is in a TFSA. I'm trying to wrap my head around "selling your losers" versus needlessly trading. Thank you so much for this service. I am really enjoying the education I am receiving thanks to you.

Q: Good evening 5i! I am considering selling my WCP shares and converting to NPI shares. I've held WCP for a couple of years and it seems to be doing very little in growth, (I also hold PEY, CPG and BTE in the energy sector). My broker has suggested I look at NPI for a good yield and decent long term growth, (I also hold CPX in the power sector). Can you provide me with your unbiased recommendation on this potential company switch looking at it over the next couple of years.

Thanks for your help and input.

Q: hello Peter:
first, thanks for a very fine service, and I mean that to the entire staff (good commentary, easy to use web-site, etc). Regarding NPI (Northland Power - I am thinking of selling Trans Alta and would like to replace it with a utility. Already own some Brookfield. I note that in July, you answered M S and said that you hope to cover it later this year. Is this still the plan? If so, please disregard the question: I'll just wait. If not, you said "OK in this type of market". What did you mean there? And, this company has a great chart. Is it too good a chart? Or, is BEP/UN just a much better place to be?
thanks
Paul
