Q: I currently hold about 13% of my portfolio in financials. FFH, IFC, GSY and FSZ in Canada and the XLF and BLX in the US. I am planning on topping up to 15% financials. FSZ is my smallest holding. Would you add to it at this time? The stock has been performing very poorly in the last two weeks while the others have done much better. It would be added because of its high dividend.

Q: I am hunting for reliable dividend payers - companies likely to be around for the next 20years( highly safe - if not guaranteed safe) for the financial sector of an income portfolio.
These 4 have comparable yields. All are around 6%. I know there are issues with Alaris - so would not likely buy it unless you consider it buyable now.
But how about the others: would you recommend all - 1 - none?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Q: These are the only 2 stocks I own in roughly equal portions of $41,000.00 each in my TFSA.
I am looking at selling equal amounts of each stock to buy another equally weighted stock.
I prefer small caps with a 5%+ yield and good growth potential for long term hold. DRIP if possible.
Would you name 3 stocks which you think may be suitable. Thanks
Derek

Q: How do you see Evertz' quarter? Market isn't happy and I'm tempted to sell for a small loss and move into something else, unless you think the company remains solid and a very good long term hold. Thank-you very much.
Q: Given the toppy markets and expectation of higher rates coming soon, where would you put new money with safety of principal and a modest return in mind? Thanks.
Q: I bought units in this fund at $10. when it was first offered but it is now trading in the $6.00 area with a very good yield. While I am an income investor, I wonder if I should continue holding or look at some other option like BIP.UN? Many thanks for your thoughts.
Q: I read your review of 2/23/17 which explains the financial fundamentals; ergo, would you consider this a good, safe, long-term buy & hold? I am thinking of buying for my wife's account. She currently holds FTS in one of her accounts. This would, by comparison, be a small holding vs the size of her total portfolios.

Q: Please dock two questions for this:
1. Would EIF be best held in a TFSA or non-registered account?
2. What would you recommend for a high divdiend paying stock in the consumer space for a non-registered account. Would BPF.UN be a good choice?

Q: Hi Peter,
I have some concerns regarding Alaris. How close are they to resolving their issues with their problem companies? How safe is its dividend and can we expect some growth in the next couple of years?
Thank you for your help.

Q: Box.un is 5 percent of my non-registered holdings with my cost at $16.00. There doesn't seem to be much more upside from the current market price and, if perchance, the takeover should fall thru, box.un will drop back to the $26 range. The risk of holding seems too high. Is there any chance the buyout could fall thru and would you hang on or unload the stock?
Thanks.
Philip
Thanks.

Q: EIF posted record results last week and have since been beaten down aggressively, losing all gains and then some. This kind of trading action is very obvious that shorts are behind the beat down. Do you know the number of shorts on EIF? I just wonder when would these folks finished pillaging EIF and move on. Thanks.
Q: Hi 5i,
What did you think of NPI’s report? The stock does not seem to be selling off very hard today, despite the down market day. My main question is the status of the strategic review. There was no mention of it at all in the detailed press release. It was announced last July so it seems to be getting a little long in the tooth. Thanks for any thoughts!
