Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN $8.98)
Q: What is a good alternative to BEP.UN? Due to the late reporting of tax information from BEP I have chosen to sell my units as I just received two $100 penalties from CRA.
Q: DR is taking a fair hit today, apparently over the change in leadership announcement (or is there something else?). How significant is this change, in your opinion? With a 7+% dividend, do you think that DR might be worth buying now as a small position, with the objective of collecting a nice dividend and perhaps a bit of growth potential?
Thank-you
Thank-you

iShares 1-5 Year Laddered Government Bond Index ETF (CLF $17.65)
Q: VSB looks to include both government and corporate bonds. Is owning VSB the equivalent to owning CBO and CLF? Looking to reduce number of holdings and the MER on VSB is attractive. Is there something similar that includes corporate and govt short term bonds that you like better? Thank you for all that you do!
Q: Hi Peter &Ryan
I am currently sitting on about 30% cash as I just had a pref called on the US side .
Would you sit on cash right now or jump back into the market and if so could I have some names of Can. domiciled companies that trade in US $.
The balance of my porfoilo is reasonably balanced so I could add to any sector.
I am looking for div stocks and capital preservation over growth.
Kind Regards
Stan

Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF (VAB $23.12)
Q: Greetings, I've always had a bit of a difficult time understanding bond ETF's or more specifically how they may be expected to react to economic events. Some observers interpreted recent comments from the BOC as perhaps indicating they may not be as opposed to a rate hike as they have been for the last 7 years. If rates were hiked even a little in Canada, I assume bond ETF's would react somehow. Does it depend on the nature of the holdings? Or is the underlying reason for the rate hike more important? Could a bond ETF ever respond neutrally (or even positively)? I think I understand how an individual bond reacts, and how if I held it to maturity it really wouldn't matter, but I am thinking specifically of ETF's like VAB and CLF. I would really appreciate your thoughts,
Thanks
Thanks

Q: I just read about EEP's dividend cut and stock reaction (G&M - June 9).
Are the causes likely to spill over into ENF?
I am more concerned with income rather than capital.
