Q: The recent decline in CAD/US exchange rates has me somewhat concerned for my US investments. If you believe,as I do, that the CAD has reached its low point and may move up slowly from here, should you buy US shares in CAD funds? Or is it best to convert now and hold these in US dollars? In general do you believe it is best to have a mix of US shares in an even split of US and CAD currency? What should the factors be to determine how this is handled individually? Or does it even matter?

Q: After 6 1/2 years I finally sold Verizon as its share price and prospects have been trending downwards.
I hold BCE and T, together worth 7.2% of my portfolio. I usually keep Telcos at around 10% so I am debating whether to add to BCE and T or to consider Rogers or Cogeco to replace V.
- BCE and T have both been on a tear and sporting rich RSI's, but have a notably higher yield than RCI.
- Rogers is up 50% in the last 21 months.
- Cogeco has caught fire after years of treading water.
What's a guy to do?
Thanks!

Q: Your comments on the 2016 results, please, as well as the new acquisition. Does this explain today's drop?
Q: I own them both in significant quantity. Vsn trading about $18.16 and Ppl at about $42.56. Do you see any arbitrage trade between the two at this level or do you have any comments about this first day of trading after the news?
Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Recently you gave good analysis as to why FLEX retreated despite a strong QR. You stated it was because they lowered future earning from $0.30 to $0.28-$0.24 for the next quarter. You also stated that you preferred CLS over FLEX. If FLEX is forecasting continued growth for the next 2 years and CLS appears more stagnant...I am wondering why you think CLS has more potential going forward. Or do you just think FLEX will have a misstep. Please clarify. Your analysis is invaluable to us retail investors as we search for facts before we make decisions!
As always...thanks!

Q: Advice re the Pembina/Veresen deal. VSN is up and Pembina is down. Would you sell VSN and then purchase PPL with the proceeds on the hope it returns to its original price.

Q: Do not own this stock, but will this not be a perfect storm for a class action suit. I can't believe the sites are not full of lawyers advertising.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: Would you buy Pembina now knowing about the up-coming deal with Veresen. I see Pembina is down today so has it become a good investment buy for a long term hold and dividend income security?
Q: I own both companies, should I sell Veresen or take the .4287 PPL exchange,either of those options would take me over a 5% allocation in my portfolio. If I sold the VSN and wanted another pipeline company who would recommend.
Q: Hi 5i
I am looking for investments that distribute primarily through Return of Capital, such that the cost base can be ground down to a point where it may make a lot of sense to donate the shares to charity, shelter the entire gain while having extracted most of my cost base. I imagine that most of these things will be in the REIT space, but I am open to anything.
Thanks,
David

Q: These are some stocks in my Margin Account that don't pay a dividend . In my RSP, I have BCE , ABT , BPF.UN , and REITS and royalty trusts that pay great dividends .I have a fortune sitting in my RSP that keeps on growing due to dividends but I am 67 years old with a pretty low income . I am thinking that I be rotating these names and increasing my dividend income rather than increasing my RRIF liability in a few years ? I would really appreciate your advice - Thankyou for helping me have such "problems" .
Q: I'm looking to add to my TSFA acc. I know you like all 3 but, how would you rank in order of preference at this particular time and which do you think has the biggest up side in the next 1-2 years.
