Q: What is your opinion of Alaris
Q: On June 17th there was an article in the Globe entitled " Are these preferreds a 5 percent solution", by Rob Carrick. It spoke of many different perpetual preferreds paying close to 5%. What is your opinion as to how any perpetual preferreds would fit into any investment portfolio in today's investment climate. Would you ever recommend them?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i, I own IPL since March 2005 in my RIF at cost of $9.63 so I have seen its ups and down for long time but now I am not so sure if I want to keep it, I am thinking of switching to CPX, similar price and dividend, what do you think of the idea or do you have any other suggestions for me. Thank you for your valuable service. M
Q: for my sons RESP can I get your opinion of the 3.25% 5 year GIC being offered by Home Capital? The amount is far below the $100,000 threshold.
Is a safe 3.25% a reasonable rate of return for an RESP that I need in 5 years time? Alternatively, would I be better to off with the investment strategy your team outlined which would have a higher potential yield but principle risk.
Your thoughts are appreciated,
Don

Q: Good Morning,
I (retired and drawing cash from portfolio) have 11.6 % in Utilities as listed. AQN 2.8%, BEP.Un 2.1%, BIP.UN 5.0%, KWH.UN 1.7%. Thinking of reducing BIP.UN to 3%, and adding FTS 2.7% and VNR 2.7% to increase weighting to 15%. Thanks in advance for your comments and the always excellent feedback. Any other suggestions welcome. BTW do I have all of these in the correct sector?

Q: my question regards our holding 2.5% in enb and 2.5% in ala both pay wonderful dividends but both are down about 6% in our portfolio...would you keep these both these stocks or remove one of them ...we also own a 1% weighting in wcp in energy but a 4% weighting in kwh.un and vnr...this is not a burning question but one that we feel possibly needs to be addressed and you are the people that know best so thank you for your advise...
