Q: On 01 Feb. 2021 Dow Jones Indices made changes to the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index. CHP.UN. OR, and RNW were dropped from that index.
I own CHP.UN and RNW. Will being dropped from the index likely have any material effect on those holdings going forward?

Thank you,
IslandJohn

Q: Hi, I currently have a BMO monthly income Mutual fund. I wish to replace it with an etf to reduce the fees. I am looking for an etf that pays monthly income, has the potential for some growth and a low mer. You have been a proponent of XTR before but would like to see if there are any others you think might be worth while. Maybe zmi. If you can suggest a canadian etf and an international etf that has some good diversification in different sectors.
Thanks

Q: ENB and TRP comprise 100% of my energy exposure and about 4% of my portfolio. I am looking to reduce my exposure to ENB but find it hard to sell a stock that seems quite undervalued. Part of my concern is that I will be selling at the same time as all the ESG sensitive fund managers and sovereign wealth funds who are reducing holdings in anything related to “fossil fuels”. So a part of me says “be patient” because ENB could easily hit $50 by the end of the year when more of the pandemic is in the rear view mirror. Would you sell now or wait?

With the proceeds, I am looking to buy something with more growth, perhaps REAL which seems value priced right now, or SYZ which pays a decent dividend. Which of these two would give a better total return over the next ten years compared to ENB? Or would you even say “ignore the noise and stick with ENB because it’s a stronger blue chip company longer term”?

Q: Can you give us your concensus on Suncor's quarter and outlook?
I have several hundred shares that average close to the present price.
Would you hold, sell a portion, or dump them all?
My feeling is with time they may climb back some, but it's risky with all the rush to green companies whether they've proven themselves or not.

thanks, Paul
