Q: Hi There
I am looking to increase the consumer part of my diversified income/modest growth (retirement)portfolio and trying to decide between AW.un, BPF.un and KEG.un.
BPF numbers look the least attractive of the three, but you appear to speak well of it.
Going forward which would be your #1 choice given the recent market turmoil?
Thanks as always for a great commentary.

Q: I have $11,000 currently sitting in cash of a RDSP account. I would like some advice on how to invest it. Of course I want to make money, so stability and return are important. It is for the long-term.

Q: All the talking heads on BNN say sell your utility,telcos,banks and Reits-and buy what? If you are retired like me and don't mind volatility-they never < dividends during the worst financial crisis ever & telcos are planning to > dividends -eg. T why would you do that if you want mostly TSX exposure (pref. tax treat). I have some USD exposure in companies like J&J, MSFT (up nicely), MO, GE, KFT etc-held for over 4 yr.
Q: Hi 5i,
Brookfield Renewable Energy (BEP.UN) has come off so is it a good time to enter? I am interested in maintaining it for the longer term.

Q: Peter - can you please provide your thoughts on CPD - IShares Cdn Preferred Share Index? I would like to add this to my fixed income portion of my portfolio - 5% position. What are the risks in this name regarding rising interest rates? Thank You!!
Q: Regarding BEP.UN or Brookfield Renewable Resources you have a good opinion on it but I see from globinvestor that earnings are -0.38 and the dividend is $1.47. Is the dividend safe? How are you evaluating it, perhaps by cashflow or long-term contracts? Thanks!

Q: Peter & Co.,
2 of my core holdings, BCE and Emereging Markets (PIE-N), have just been getting crushed recently, for very different reasons. Are these sell offs overdone, or is there more pain to come? I consider myself a long term investor, but how much longer can I let these stocks be an anchor to my portfolio?
Thanks.

Q: Regarding IPL.UN this goes back to your comments on Stop Loss points. Following your comments I assessed where I would want a STOP LOSS and removed most. A STOP LOSS today on IPL.UN might have cost an investor dearly.
Thanks for your valuable advice.
Ron
Thanks for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi 5i, Now that IPL.UN has resumed trading activity, do you think there's a buying opportunity here? Thanks.
Q: Hi 5i If a good quality company pays a good dividend , say 4%
and as this market shows all companies can be pulled down in price will the dividend be affected negatively if the stock drops 15% but the companies fundamentals remain strong ?

Q: Thank you Peter for at least attempting to explain IPL.UN trading. Globeinvestorgold and other newspaper sources seem useless in this context. Cheers, Ken
Q: Hi Peter and Staff,
Love your service ! Have recommended it to my investment club.
Equities are down today. The "correction" is here - and may provide buying opportunities.
My question. I am a believer in seasonality and DRIP programs. One of the most significant recurring seasonal events is the best six months of the market to be in (Late October - Early May).
For a long term buy-and-hold strategy, would it not make sense to participate in automatic DRIP's during the worst 6 months (forced buying during seasonal dips), and leave the DRIP programs and bank the dividends during the best six months, and then use the accumulated cash to re-balance/purchase on good days (like today).
Thanks !

Q: Do you know what is happening with Inter Pipeline It has been closed to trading? Should I sell when it reopens?
Q: Good Morning: I was just looking at Interpipe and it has dropped 35%. What has happened. Is it a buy opportunity.
Q: Any Idea why Ipl has plunged and halted?
Q: With IPL.UN down so much today, would you buy it now? I think it's down about 35%.
Q: IPL is down 37% today. Is this related to the flooding in Alberta? This is a huge drop. Is it a buying opportunity. Your thoughts please
