Q: I am holding smaller positions in all three in a fairly well balanced RSP but I need to convert to a RIF in a couple of years.
Is it time to let these go into some more conservative dividend growers or would you suggest I maintain a balance in my RIF similar to your income and balanced portfolios??
Thanks as always,
Peter

Q: CN Rail announced their capital spending for next year and it seems that they will continue to spend on infrastructure improvements. I assume that SJ would get some of that business. My question is when SJ announced previously that revenue would be soft in 2017 would that have been based on CN decreasing their spending or is there really no way of assessing that? The stock currently has reacted much so I am thinking CN's announcement wasn't material (please excuse the pun) to SJ.

Q: I am just about to set up my portfolio. I am following your balanced equity portfolio. Most will be put into TFSA. I have to select about 6 to go in non registered. Obviously these would be the ones I would expect lower returns. Which ones should I select? I plan to keep not touch these investments for 8 years.

Q: 3 months ago I purchased full positions in engh, kbl, gil and sj as value plays looking for growth. My thought is to give the companies 2 years to get back on track. Do you still consider these good companies and do you think they will become good stocks within my 2 years time frame? Thank you
