Q: I am looking to reduce exposure to the utility sector. Could you rank the following BEP.UN BIP.UN AQN CU EMA NPI BLX. Thanks.
Q: Hi guys, and happy New Years.
A couple of recent guests on BNN have expressed the opinion that utilities are not the place to be in the new year. What do you think? And if utilities are expected to lag, will the go-to sector be tech and biotech or something else? I'm asking with respect to utilities in general as I own XLU, and also specifically about AQN.

Q: Welcome back Peter from a well deserved break. Ryan has done a great job in your absence. I rely on my TFSA for monthly income and have ridden the lows of EIF (Exchange Income Fund) to its present positive growth. My question is do you think the monthly payout is safe? Thanks as always.
Q: What are your current thoughts on Transcontinental for a long term hold. I am assuming the dividend is secure but wonder if there is much growth in it's future ?
Q: In most of your replies to questions about Fortis, you emphasized that the utility was fine for income but not to expect much in the way of capital gains. In 2014, the company's shares rose almost 30%! With 20-20 hindsight, can you explain the contradiction and can you tell me if the driver(or drivers)for that solid gain will still in place for 2015?

Q: Do you have any opinion on the recent increase of RET.A stock price? Would you consider the retail / apparel sector a strong prospect for 2015? ...... please indicate any favorites you may have. thanks.
Q: Hi. I gather that you are not real big on Rogers, neither am I now, as I own a position in my RRSP that is currently down 15%. I have been planning on just sitting on it and hoping it would come back up 15%. But I wonder if it would be a better stratagey to just sell out and invest the money in something that may have a chance to recover that 15%? Thank you and all the best in the New Year.
Q: A portfolio manager on BNN this week suggested that Hi Yield Bonds will outperform the TSX on a total return in 2015. My portfolio is 60% fixed income and 40% equity. The fixed income is equal parts GIC ladder, CBO and PHN Hi Yield Bond Fund [ RBF 1280 ].
To shelter the fixed income capital from a spike in interest rates I am considering selling CBO and buying 1 year GIC's. I will keep the hi yield bond fund because the higher yield will offset the loss in capital, I hope. The duration of the bond fund is 2.3 years.
Do you agree with my proposal or can you suggest an alternative?
Happy New Year to the 5i Team and all the members.

Q: I would like to buy a stock for my TFSA in January 2015 that will have a good chance of having a large gain and long term growth. I am thinking about beaten up stocks like BDI, CPG or Cos. What would you recommend?
Q: Bearing in mind your earlier view that a small position in DCI is acceptable for income, my 1,700 shares have climbed 20% since early November, a very good return.
Should I sell and realize the gain or hang in there for the 8% dividend and potentially even higher gains?

Q: Hello Peter and team, all the best of the seasdon to you and thanks for all of your sage responses this past year!!
Chorus has been out of the news lately after their successful bout with AC. They pay a nice dividend and have a fair chunk of change on the books I understand. Do you think a special dividend is on the horizon and what is your overall view of the company, especially with dropping fuel prices.
Thank you
Jerry

Q: Do you have any thoughts on the fertilizer sector or Agrium in particular. It occurs to me that with the price of diesel going down, farmers will have more money to spend on inputs such as fertilizer.
