Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi team, what is an income investor to do in a rising rate environment? What are the sectors and equities that will be most impacted and what are the best sectors to invest in? Do you have any specific stock recommendations for income? I currently have many of the canadian banks, utilities and telcoms which have all taken a hit.
As always thanks for you advice.
Nancy

Q: I hold these 4 stocks in my LIRA account and do hold some of your other income stock recommended in my RRSP account. I just wonder if these 4 stocks are okay in holding in a LIRA account or would you prefer a different mix of stocks in a LIRA account as both KWH.UN and VNR are utility stocks?If so what do you consider the best 4 stocks inside a LIRA account?

Q: My understanding of options is not very good other than the basics. Is ZPW a bull play or bear play on the market ? Part of me thinks that a put means a bear play but if the market goes up the put expires worthless and the fund collects the premium. So could you explain what conditions favour this ETF over one like ZWH which uses a call strategy ? What is the difference between how a rising, flat, or falling market will effect these two ETF's ? I notice ZPW has a slightly higher yield. Thank you.

Q: Hi Team

I'm interested in adding to the fixed income component of my portfolio. I prefer active management for my fixed income, what would be three solid funds where the managers have flexibility to hold a broad range of fixed income (corporate, government, prefs, etc.)? PMO005 looks solid for a portion of the fixed income component, are there any other funds you would suggest? Thanks for your great service!

Q: AD seems to be on a continual downhill slide. I am contemplating selling it in my RRSP and replacing it with 50:50 EIF and KWH.UN for income and more optimistic growth potential. Your opinion is appreciated. Joe

Q: I have been a holder of Valener (VNR) for the past couple of years and during that time have enjoyed a nice yield as well as some modest capital gains.
I am now thinking of switching to Inter Pipeline (IPL) to take advantage of what I consider to be a temporary mispricing by the market.
What do you think of this strategy ?

Q: Hi. I have a question about Altagas. When the company converts the receipts to common shares next year, investors will only benefit if ALA is higher than what a person paid for ALA.R. Recently, I found the common share price has been drifting lower and lower than the receipt. At this point, what's the benefit of buying ALA.R? Currently, ALA common shares receive a higher dividend %. I'm thinking to buy ALA or ALA.R for income. Which one should I choose, or are there any others that you would recommend? Thanks for your guidance. Have a great day.
