Q: I plan to invest in GIC's through my self directed accounts. Second tier providers such as BTB and Equitable Banks offer significantly higher rates than the Schedule 1 banks. Assuming I keep within the $100,000 CDIC limit is there any additional risk, disadvantage or consideration investing in these smaller providers vs. the big banks. Thanks.

Q: Peter and Team,
Given the absolute collapse in Propane prices, can you comment on the prospect of purchasing Superior Plus. It seems to me that they should have a solid performance in this weak oil/liquids price environment.
Thoughts?

Q: You would consider TCW to be a good buy now (to hold for 3 to 5 years)?
If not, what other stock would you recommend (regardless of the sector). Looking for growth with some dividend while I wait.

Q: Hello -- Am looking for a technology equity that has good growth over the past 1-3 years and is projected to continue on that path, with an associated dividend. Between the two mentioned, which would be the best choice for my TFSA. Also, it you think these are not worth considering, what would your recommendation within their current value? Thank you for your excellent coverage and support. Much appreciated. Jim Alsop
Q: Hi Peter & associates:
I own 500 shares of GM in my RRSP, partly to gain some foreign exposure and partly because the dividends aren't subject to U.S. withholding tax within an RRSP. Given the federal government's recent announcement to unload its shares onto the market in order to help it balance the budget, is it a good time to buy more?

Q: I heard it suggested yesterday that MBT will never be taken over because the system it uses is "not compatible" with Bell or any other. I have not noticed this point in any analyst's review. Is it a valid issue?
Q: Could you please compare the price-to-cash-flow (P/CF) ratios on BIP.UN, BEP.UN, IPL, AQN, ALA. I hold all of these. Would you sell or replace any of them? For example, I wonder about BAM.A instead of the subsidiaries? Thanks.
Q: Hi 5i,
I need help trimming back the utilities in my portfolio. I currently hold 11 utilities (out of 33 holdings):
AQN,
ALA,
BIP.UN,
BEP.UN,
CU,
FTS,
GEI,
IPL,
PPL,
RNW,
VNR
All have gone up quite a bit since buying them so I have fallen in love with them all. I already sold EMA, TRP, and KEY (and cried like a baby). Utilities make up about 30% of the value of the portfolio (and that is not including BCE and T). I am worried that rising rates will hit me hard. Which do you recommend I cut?? My primary goal is for dividend growth.
Thanks in advance!

Hi 5i staff
You show Metro having a 4.1% dividend in your "5i Filter - Very Shareholder Friendly" Blog Table today, but when I search various sources I get a 1.80% dividend at the Morningstar website, and a 1.29% yield from the TSX website. What is correct.
Thankyou... Paul K

Q: I have owned Transalta for 15 years and have had it on dividend reinvestment for the same period. All of the other utility stocks that I own have performed well (ema,fts,trp,enb) but TA has been an underperformer. I am considering switching TA for Capital Power (CPX) and was wondering if you would agree with this switch.
Q: Further to Greg's question today, you suggested shifting some of his money to more blue chip dividend paying names. Could you give us a few names you would recommend at this time.
Thanks as always.
