Q: Hi Peter,

I wanted to get your thoughts on Telus. What do you think about the threat of opening up the competition in this area. How would you look at this risk and what % probability do you think it happens? Is Telus a buy at this level? Is the sector a buy or are risks to big to ignore.

Q: Questions on PPL:

- Can you please provide a bear and bull case for PPL?

- How is its balance sheet compared to TRP and ENB?

- Is PPL different enough from TRP and ENB that one could own all three?

- If one were to own all three (and if BIP.UN is also owned - which has pipelines too) what overall total percentage range of Pipelines would 5i be comfortable with?

Q: Two part question:

What are the major differences between these two covered call utilities etf's? Wondering why/how UMAX has ~2X dividend yield?

Q: Another hypothetical question. If today you have let's say $1M and you want to sell all your investments and put in high dividend stocks generating an after tax yield of 5% with a condition that these companies do not have more than 33% Debt to Total Assets, are not interest bearing businesses and are not businesses in food, fashion, gambling or SIN. What would your top 5 to 10 choices be to invest for the next 20 years.

Q: Hello 5I:

Would you start positions in any of the pipelines at this time and, if so, in what order and price?

With respect to GSY, what do you think it will take to get the stock moving upwards and what would a good entry price be?

Thank you for the great advice!

Q: My 31-year-old daughter would like to build a portfolio of income-paying investments within her RRSP, LIRA, and TFSA accounts, with the intention of reinvesting dividends through a DRIP over the years. Which six Canadian dividend-paying stocks would you recommend for this goal or would it be more effective to use dividend-focused ETFs instead? The primary objective is to build a portfolio that generates reliable income. Thank you.

Q: Hi,

I have been trying the understand the pros and cons of covered calls and options ETFs by looking at previous questions on the subject. I spent considerable time on the matter and I am more confused than ever.

Would you be kind enough to summarize your views on the matter and, if you are really positive about it, please provide a list of the best ETFs suitable for a strong growth investor.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS
