Q: Good morning 5i
Please advise on the above and similar income related funds. I am trying to set up a retirement income. At 76 yrs old and I have about $100,000.00 to invest. Safety is important as well as income. Your previous advice has been taken.
Thank you
Terry

Q: As I am over 55 and live in BC I qualify to defer my property taxes until sale of our home. I will have to pay .7% interest on the deferred funds this year and the rate can change yearly. I was thinking of depositing the equivalent funds (about $2500 per year) my TFSA each year as i have unused room and I was wondering what recommendation you would make for a reasonably safe investment for these funds for the long term until sale of our home when they will come due along with interest.

Q: I have BCE and RCI.B. I had thought of dropping Rogers and buying Telus, now Rogers is moving somewhat. Would you recommend I replace one of the two with Telus? Keep the two I have? or invest in all three as I am underweight Telcos?

Thank you for this and all your answers to others

Q: I am looking at buying either ALA or ALA.r in my RRSP.
I have read your analysis on this matter and am not sure I follow it all. The receipts were issued at $31.00 and are redeemable at $31.00 should the deal not go through. They now trade at $ 29.65. If I buy the receipts ,I will collect the " dividend equivalent ". If the deals goes through ( which I think is likely), I will receive new shares.

It seems a "no brainer" to buy the receipts as you have a capital gain if the deal does not go through. The receipts seems to track the stock which seem to offer a buying opportunity.

What do you think? Thanks

Derek

Q: Peter always good to see you on BNN. You mentioned Altagas' dividend being fine as it would be based on cash flow ( please correct me if I'm misquoting) and therefore a decent investment.
Could you respond to this article about Altagas and the author's points?

Q: Hello Team, I'm thinking about adding AD and HOT.UN to my portfolio for the dividends which are really good.

What are your thoughts on this? How risky are these companies? The AD CEO mentioned he plans to raise the dividend this year. HOT.UN just did a great aquisition. Am I missing something?
