Q: Greetings,

I have a full position in Altagas spread across three registered accounts. I've held this for years and plan to keep it but I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to sell the shares now and buy the subscription receipts. Seems like the only downside to that would be a case where the big deal falls through but the stock prices goes up. Can't see that happening. Am I missing something?

Q: The combined value of my holdings in these companies is too much for me to hold in one company. Does it matter which I sell or when I sell it? What percentage of a portfolio would you be comfortable with for the final holding?

Many thanks.

Q: The company held a conference call to discuss their quarterly results this morning. While the results seemed ok their call has obviously spooked the markets. Was this due to the increases in their legal reserve due to certain law suits they are facing? There was also some mention that they would have no contribution from residential solar in 2017. Could you please provide your analysis/understanding of the issues they are facing and how serious these are for their long term longevity and profitability.
What do you advise shareholders do?

Q: I'M retired and invest for dividends. I have a full position in PPL and a full+ position in VSN which, I understand PPL is going to buy shortly. Both have dropped today, probably because of a big lawsuit against PPL by a US investment company. My question is hold, trim, sell?

Q: Good afternoon guys,

I've been watching the REITs and utility/pipelines stocks take a dip - presumably due to interest rates. I remember a time when a stock like IPL yielded 8 to 10% and HR.UN not much behind that.

With interest rates due to rise in the near or medium term, how high to you see yields rising? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see the yields on these stock rise to 7-8%, maybe higher depending on market sentiment etc. Is there a way to guesstimate what yields companies like IPL and or HR.UN could ascend to with increases in interest rates?
