Q: Hi, is BIP's takeover a good deal for the company and shareholders. If it is accretive to earnings then why the sell-0ff? Is a rail acquisition outside the usual business of this company and therefore increase risk profile of company? Thanks.

Q: Hi, on Aug 17 you stated the following about the CAD banks:
"If you can find a better sector at 10X earnings with good dividend growth, low volatility then a switch makes sense. There just are not many sectors/stocks with those qualities."

For an income portfolio, can you advise of some other stocks in other sectors that currently have the qualities of the CAD banks as stated?

Q: Hi Team

I have a full position in Apple and am thinking of selling half and purchasing, with the proceeds, Cisco for purposes of diversification. Apple does seem to be sputtering a bit of late.

Q: Hello-
I bought a number of Reits several years ago and I am down on all of them. Interest rates are still low- in Canada, lower than several years ago, and property values are still high. Under these beneficial conditions, have most of the REITS actual financial results been poorer than several years ago? If so, why?
What conditions need to exist before the REITS' prices will go back up?
Thanks

Q: When you mention for example no more than 3 percent weighing in a stock does that mean if you have a $500,000 portfolio no more than $15,000 should be allocated to that particular stock? So it is always a percentage of total portfolio?

Q: hello 5i:
I've looked, but can't find any comments on PDC. I note that Morningstar has assigned it a 4 star rating, with above average returns and lower risk (over a 3 year period), than competing ETFs. Your take, please.
