Q: Hi Peter and team,
I have been following Premium Brands for a while now. I like the juicy dividend yield on this one, yet the payout ratio is still quite reasonable. I already have plenty of financials, telcos, etc. in my dividend portfolio. Would Premium Brands be a good addition as a means to diversify my holdings? Many thanks.

Q: I purchased BMO equal weight utility index etf zut about 18 months ago. It has dropped steadily. It is about a 15 % allocation of my dividend portfolio and the only utility holding. What should I expect from this over the next few years? Is it worth keeping?
Q: About fixed income. Should I sell my corporate bond CBO, HAB and XCB etf ? They gave me 5-6% for the last 3 years but now are in a serious downtrend in 2013. At this point would GIC, or individual bonds be better ? Also, same question about CPD ?
Q: Peter I purchased CBO - 5 year laddered corporate bonds ETF. It has dropped in price significantly in the past month. My purpose for buying this eft was for the low risk and 4.4 % percent monthly payout however all gains have been wiped out by the price erosion. Is there further downside on this eft? Should I move to another name. Thank You.

Q: Northland seems to have a lot of interesting projects on the go but their shares continue to fall. Are energy producers completely out of favour right now, I notice Brookfield (BEP.UN) is also declining, or is it perhaps a good time to step in?

The share price has dropped to around $ 30

Q: Hi Peter and team
As I sit and watch my portfolio go down because of the rotation out of dividend stocks, I wonder who the sellers are and what they are doing with the money. Presumably they bought REITs for income and where are they going to find anything equivalent? As I try to decide what to do (if anything) I would appreciate any insights you have to offer. Thanks

Q: Hi Folks
I've been away and seem to have missed something. What is meant by the dividedn/REIT rotation. Are you saying investors are or will be moving out of dividend paying stocks?

Q: ENB is on a steady decline. It may have been a good idea to watch the charts and sold on the early stages of the downturn. Your thoughts on thet type of proactive action are appreciated. Perhaps it is good just to waether this decline and wait for improvement? The P/E is very high though.

Q: In your model portfolio, I see that there is only one "real estate" holding (FSV). In this sector, I own two REITs in my RRSP and realize that my weighting is way out of whack: (14% in REF.UN and 12% in REI.UN.) I am gradually attempting to diversify my holdings, using stocks that you have chosen in the model portfolio, and would like to know which of my two REITs to keep (or if neither or if both) and what percentage REITs should be in a portfolio. I have done very well with both of these REITs, especially REF.UN, but it's a bit painful to see these two stocks dropping daily. Thanks for the great service you provide.
Q: Do you have an updated opinion on AFN? I am holding a large position and have had a 10% gain since buying only a couple of months ago. Can we expect continued volatility and is the dividend sustainable? I'm wondering if I should trim my position and take the gains or keep for the dividend. Thanks for your continued help, you guys are great!
