Q: Hello Peter and crew, I have been a member for just over a year and have to say my portfolio is up about 35% all thanks to you and your crew! I am 46 years old and will be retiring from my current career in 5 years. I will have a very good pension and will likely find something else to do. I am would say a bit aggressive in my investing. So here is my current holding all about equal in amount....except for aya which is currently 3X everything else...woohoo!!! I have placed a sell on 1/3 of my position. I hold BNP, SGY x2, TPH,AQN, CPX, CSH.UN, LRE, NPI, VSN, WCP, BEP.UN, CSE, PPL,RBI X1/4. I was going to add BNS with the sell of AYA.....do you have any suggestions, like a good replacement for BNP or others...I do like my dividends they have helped me grow with other purchases. But a good growth stock would be good too. Thanks Ed

Q: REITS: I just read your report on MRC and, despite a low yield %, the B+ rating makes it tempting. Would it make sense for me to switch out of one or more of the following in order to then add MRC to my portfolio? Other REITS currently held include: CWT.un, GRT, DI.un, AAR.un, AP.un and HR.un.

Thank you again.

Q: re: AYA & June 22 answer for Jeff re weighting

I see your comments for Jeff on portfolio weighting as being very wise and are comments we should all respect.

Originally my portfolio weighting for AYA was 2%. With the recent rise it is up to 4.6%. Should I be trimming this down?

You know that little voice inside my head wants me to just "let it ride."

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Peter and Team,

Any thought on Amaya's announcement this mornging that they are increasing the size of the preferred share offering? They are convertible at $24 so my first thought was that this is good and that there is demand from the group of pros investing here for stock at $24. However, I wonder why Amaya would do this... I thought they knew how much money they needed to do this deal when it was originally announced. What are the new funds to be used for?

Thoughts?

Q: Hi Peter (and Crew),

I am totally pleased with the service you offer.

I rarely ask questions as I find accessing the questions database almost always provides the information I need.

I am looking to add a retirement holding to my TSFA. The time frame is a minimum of a 10 year hold. I am looking for cap gain and yield and am considering Chartwell (CSH.UN). Would you recommend it and if not, could you recommend 1 or 2 names that you prefer in this space.

Thanks for the wonderful service.

Q: With about a 7 year time frame before my grandchildren may need to start drawing money out of the RESP that I have for them, could you please suggest 4 or 5 stocks that don't necessarily need to "shoot the lights" out in performance but that are relatively safe and will provide an average plus return for this time period. Dividend payers/growers are fine with some added capital gains would be ideal.
Thank you.

Q: Thanks for the report on BPF.UN. Is the distribution treated like dividend income income? (i.e. does it qualify for the dividend tax credit?
