Q: Hi: I have watched the decline of Atco Ltd. shares for the past two years and wonder if it will ever resume an upward trend again . Do you have a strategy for noticing a trend change in a long slow declining stock. Does it need a major event to change the decline of could it quietly bottom out and change direction. Thank you for your reply.

Q: Do you see connection between this stock hitting new 52 day low two days in a row and election rhetoric by opposition parties to lower hydro bills by repurchasing shares sold by liberals or firing current CEO. Can Avista merger be stopped which I believe has already been approved by regulators. Do you still recommend Hydro One shares to income oriented investor.
Best regards,
Harold

Q: Hello 5i,
In the interest of understanding fully what i am buying, could you tell me how floating rate bond funds manage to float? When i look at the informarion for FLOT, for instance, i notice that the maturity dates vary from one month to five years, if i remember correctly. An etf like xsb doesn't seem to be a lot different. Is it because Floating rates are heavily weighted to the very short term, even though they do as well go out to five years?
Thanks for all the great work

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: 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.
