Q: 5-I

I currently own BCE and Telus. I want to increase my exposure to Telco for dividend income purposes 7 years down the road. For diversification and income purposes do you see any reason to add any other names such as Shaw Rogers Quebecor or Corus or simply add to the two that I own.

Many Thanks for the great work.

Paul

How much is a small amount? What percent of your portfolio?

Q: Hi In May of 2013 the US had started to telegraph the raising of interest rates. Most income stocks like REIT's were hit hard for an extended time. Do you think that in Dec when it is possible for rates to rise that we may see the same scenario again.
