Q: Hi 5i,
What would you do with First Solar given the factors behind its recent plummeting? Is it an outright sell? I can afford to take a 3-5 year view with it, if it makes sense to do so. I am down substantially on the position but it is in a registered account so there is no tax loss angle to it. Nominally I think of the holding as part of a relatively small speculative pool within my portfolio so there are no real sector balancing consequences one way or another. Grateful for any thoughts. Thanks!

Q: Given that Telus has been working closely with QHR; I had been wondering even before the Loblaw offer why Telus would not just buy QHR. Is Telus an aquisitive sort of company? What are the odds on a last minute offer from Telus? Is QHR worth more than $3.10/share?
Thank you for your honest advice and opinions

Q: I'm looking for an income component to my portfolio. i already have decent exposure to large dividend paying companies (cdn banks, BCE, Telus, ENB, TRP, BEP, BIP, CU, VZ, MO). i have a small amount in bonds but i am hesitant putting more money towards bonds at this point. where else would you go to for income for a total return of 4%-5%? Riets (XRE)? Preferred shares? This will probably be a 3%-5% weighting in my portfolio and a long term holding. Thanks
