Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I bought 10,000 shares on Interpipeline (IPL) at $8.40 in 2009 and now have almost 14,000 shares from their DRIP. My initial investment is now getting over 15% return due to distribution increases but I am paying a high price for DRIP purchases lately. My original plan was to hold this for another five years. However, the price has appreciated lately. Time to move on?
Thank you.

Q: I have held S (2% weighting) for just over 2 years and am finally back to par. I do not need to raise cash and it is my only holding in the materials sector outside of gold. My portfolio is weighted towards income (71 years old). Would you sell here and what would be a good replacement?

Thanks Team

Q: I have decent gains in Emera (EMA) after buying in the fall. The dividend yield is now getting towards my lower range for a non-growth type company. Would it make any sense to swap EMA for Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN). This would give me a 1%+ bump in yield but stay within the industry. Which company has the better blend of growth/dividend increase potential going forward? Is the relatively high P/E ratio at Brookfield a concern?

Thank-you

Q: Hello
I'd like to ask about Medical Facilities Corp. I've owned it for over a year. Todays open gaped down hard. There is twice the daily volume and it's not even lunch time! No news as far as I can see. Is this an omen to take fat profits?...thoughts?
