Q: Telus is having a solid pull back today - I believe on news of it's capital raise at $52. I've been a long time holder of the stock but had to sell to assist with a house transaction. I enjoy it's capital appreciation and consistent dividend growth. Is now a good time to re-enter given that I mostly mimic the BE Portfolio and currently have no telecom exposure?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

Thank you for answering my question regarding BEP.UN.
I have to admit that I still do not fully understand the problem with holding BEP in a non-reg account. If I simply receive something from my broker (T3 or whatever the form is) telling me what amount I received from BEP the following year and I pass that on to the person doing my taxes what is the "pain" that you refer to with regards to limited partnership tax accounting? Is there some convoluted time-consuming calculation that the accountant must do? Or is there some other complication once the stock is sold? I am fine with some portion of the flow-through being withheld in regards to the US portion of the income from the stock.
Thanks for your patience!
Love your service!

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: BEP's share price is up almost 4% today and it has been very strong over the past month or so. I know other alternative energy stocks have also been strong (e.g. NPI), but not as strong as BEP. What is causing the huge move in BEP again today? Any news or ideas? Are the l likely to have a share offering at these prices?
