Q: After 6 1/2 years I finally sold Verizon as its share price and prospects have been trending downwards.

I hold BCE and T, together worth 7.2% of my portfolio. I usually keep Telcos at around 10% so I am debating whether to add to BCE and T or to consider Rogers or Cogeco to replace V.

- BCE and T have both been on a tear and sporting rich RSI's, but have a notably higher yield than RCI.

- Rogers is up 50% in the last 21 months.

- Cogeco has caught fire after years of treading water.

What's a guy to do?

Thanks!

Kim

Q: Advice re the Pembina/Veresen deal. VSN is up and Pembina is down. Would you sell VSN and then purchase PPL with the proceeds on the hope it returns to its original price.

Q: Would you buy Pembina now knowing about the up-coming deal with Veresen. I see Pembina is down today so has it become a good investment buy for a long term hold and dividend income security?

Q: Hello, I would like to "park" some money in a safe dividend paying stock. Your service provides lots of choices/recommendations. However, can you say with any degree of comfort which sector or particular dividend paying stocks therein would be less sensitive to an interest rate hike, and less of a bond proxy. Or, are all stocks paying a reasonable dividend subject to this risk. I was thinking of Enbridge. Thanks very much. Bill.

Q: Does it make sense to hold a dividend ETF when you do not require the income?
I will likely not require these funds for 10 years or more without the requirement for income. Does it make sense to focus on growth instead?
I am specifically looking at this ETF as its concentrated to holding only 40 companies.
