Q: With BEP.UN today closes at $35.67 near its all time high of $35.84, do you still advise an investor to take an initial position at this level?

Also, how safe is the dividends and can the 28%+ gain YTD be continued into 2015?

Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter- I have a lot of US dollars earmarked for the fixed income portion of my portfolio. I realize that 'safe' investments pay less than two percent (if that). I am trying to get 4-5%. I realize that I will have to take a little bit of risk to do this. My two choices are IShares Emerging Market Bonds EMB-N (this pays 4.4%)or the other option is to buy individual rate reset preferred shares. I believe that they work pretty well the same as the Canadian ones and they reset at Libor + 3 to 3.5%. BAC and C both issue these shares. I think that it is better to buy the resets as opposed to the perpetuals. Do you have any comments on this or any alternative suggestions?

Q: Can you explain the current freefall with WEQ? When you compare a graph with HNL, it seems to be quite similar.

I am a retired dividend-income investor. Should I continue to hold WEQ and ride it out?
