Q: Can you refer to other inflationary periods where there was interest rate increases. And quantify the interest rate % increase and the subsequent stock price % decrease in utility stocks? And would this relationship also apply to renewable clean energy stocks?
Thanks for the great information service you supply!

Q: Hello,
I would be interested in hearing your top 6 choices for Canadian stocks (or possibly ETFs) with reasonable yields (2% or more) where you would consider the stock/ETF price to be relatively safe in the current and near-future environment, e.g. rising interest rates and inflation.
Please exclude SLF as I already own it, and include no more than one bank stock (or ETF) in the list for diversification.
Thanks!

Q: Hi. I have several stocks in my RIFF and TFSA which pay dividends in American dollars although I have purchased them in Canadian dollars. (eg, BAM.A; Open Text etc.) The dividend payout is then converted to Canadian dollars. I like to use the DRIP feature when possible. In order to do so with funds that pay out in USD, I would have to move the securities to my USD. Is this a good idea or are there disadvantages to do so? The securities are long term holds in my portfolio. Thanks for your help.
Q: Hello Peter and staff,
What are the PE ratios for both companies and what are the payout ratios for the dividends Is there site to help us calculate the payout ratios? Also, do both companies still offer good value or would you say they are fairly valued and best to wait before taking full position? I have seen companies paying out over 100 percent and is that red a flag? Thanks very much.

Q: Do you see this as a reasonable entry point for a long-term hold of BEPC, for increasing dividend income and some capital growth? I hold BEPC in a taxable account, so I prefer BEPC over BEP.UN for tax reasons. Thank you!
