Q: Hi, I have been thinking for quite awhile to sell Bell,as it is not looking great, and buy Telus, for income first and growth second.
I would like to do this for a 4-5 year hold. Would you agree that I would be better off with Telus in the long run with a little more growth, as i’am fine with 4.5% dividend?
Thanks Brad

Q: I asked about a replacement for SIN.UN. You suggested CDZ. That wouldn't be suitable for me. I already have XDV. I was looking for something with a higher rate of return. Would ZWU or ZWC be suitable?

Q: Have a loss in ALA (and ALA-R) and am considering selling it and replacing with ENB. Could always use the tax loss. Do you think this is worthwhile strategy. Do you prefer ENB to ALA. If so why or why not? Growth is more important than income at this time in our life. We follow your balanced portfolio but had ALA prior to joining and have not switched it out.

Q: I understand that Alaris wrote off the debt on the two companies but has it accounted for the original preferreds? In other words, are there still more write-offs possible for these two companies or have they really cleared the deck?

Thanks

• Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN)
  • View AQN Profile
  • View Questions on AQN

Q: Results look good to me. I currently hold a 4% weighting.
I have a long time frame and high risk tolerance. If the stock performs well is it ok to carry to a 7% weighting before rebalancing.
2nd question is I like to set targets like 7% above and let the target dictate rather then the emotion that may play in the moment.
3rd question is 7% to high.
My overall comfort perfect portfolio target is 4% but I know there is times to overweight. When I do overweight I prefer it be less speculative which I consider Aqn to fit.
Thanks
John

Q: Could you please comment on the latest results. They look pretty reasonable to me which presumably is why they saw fit to raise their dividend. But at least the initial reaction from the market is negative.

Q: Please share your thoughts on GH's Q1 report. At a glance, it's looking like management found ways to reduce costs the past two years and now that revenues are showing growth the EBITDA is ballooning out faster than expected.
