Q: I have some extra room in my existing telecom allocation and am looking at adding TMUS and dropping SJR.B. Or should I just add further to VZ or FIVG to continuing increasing my US exposure and currency diversification? I am retired but do not depend on the income from this portfolio which is intended to be widely diversified and focused on dividend growing solid companies.

Q: My wife and I each have about $110,000 in our RRIF accounts. Because of poor performance by our broker, we have decided to manage the RRIFs by ourselves. We are both in our mid-eighties so we would like stocks with good yields but not more than moderate risk. Yield is more important than capital gains in those accounts. Can you suggest about 8 to 10 stocks that meet those criteria? Thanks for your help.

Q: I saw that Citigroup downgraded NTR to neutral from buy. Can you go over their report? They seem to now have a 12 month target of $47 down from $61 (please confirm that this target is in US $ and not Cdn $) Seems like NTR went down on Friday 14th due to this? What is your current view on NTR?

Q: Re: member comments on Telus using Haweii. The most damaging thing any business can have is uncertainty especially when the rest of the Telco world is marching ahead on 5G rollout. My gut tells me Telus made this very public announcement to try and get the government to get off its hands and just make a decision one way or the other. Telcos in canada have been waiting months on the government's decision which has handcuffed them in moving the business forward.

Just my thoughts on this very public statement from Telus.

Q: As a retired investor, I am keen on stocks with low betas, high dividends and some growth. AQN, NPI and BEP all meet these criteria and are all up significantly, riding on a crest of green sentiment. These three stocks now compromise 13.5% of my total portfolio. I am loathe to part with my green energy stocks as they are doing so well. That said, have I put too many eggs in one basket? At what percent should I cap my green energy investment? Other than higher interest rates, what could impact continued growth in this sector?

On a related note, I am now overweight in utilities, which now represent 21% of my total portfolio. This includes the three above-mentioned stocks, plus Fortis and BEP. Would you suggest reducing this weighting? And if so, which stock(s )would you be inclined to sell?

Thank you.
