Q: Hello. I’ve held Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN) for quite some time now. Unfortunately, all the gains have vanished, and the investment has turned negative in my non-registered account. Should I sell, hold, or consider other options? I also have Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP.un), Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP.un), Fortis, Enbridge, Telus, BCE, TD, SLF, NWC, BAM, PFE and Exchange Income Corp in my portfolio. As a retiree, do you have any suggestions for a dividend portfolio replacement? Thank you.

Q: It seems that any earning beat or miss is creating huge price movements, I realize this is speculation, but with the recent drop in Adobes price would you anticipate much of a drop from here if Adobe's numbers aren't in line. I am a shareholder just looking for some support.

And if only one, which would you see as having the better total return performance going forward? Thank you for the excellent service.
