Investment Q&A

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

Q: The above pipeline companies are still declining. With declining interest rates I might have expected them to recover at least somewhat after the recent sharp declines. What is your perspective on these continuing price declines? Do you think the dividends are reasonably secure?

Q: It looks as though utilities, and renewable utilities in particular, have taken off, while Canadian pipelines, which are also traditionally stable investments, are either flat or dropping.
Do you have any comments on whether:
1. this is a short term disparity or a fundamental shift,
2. whether one group is better than the others at current prices, and
3. If the recent drop now otherwise creates a good point of entry for any or all?

Q: Hi guys, I own the following with the respective total portfolio weightings. My TFSA is all CDN and RRSP is a mix of USD/CDN. When I rebalance, should I try and rebalance with respect to % of TFSA and % of RRSP or rebalance each holding as a percent of overall portfolio? If the latter, I would consolidate some of the holdings in my TFSA to bump up the individual weightings. Are there any obvious adjustments that I should make? I’m heavy on AAPL but have sold so much of it over the years I’m very tempted to let the remaining shares ride.
Please deduct as many credits as you see fit and many thanks for the excellent service you provide. The Q/A is invaluable as are the periodic market summaries. You’ve pulled me away from the panic button many, many times.

Q: What do you think about Jim Cramer's comments that fossil fuels are dead? With all the pipeline protests and endowment funds divesting of fossil fuel investments, it seems there is limited long term growth for these companies. Should one divest of pipeline and fossil fuel stocks and instead go towards renewables? Considering that millennials will be the next big wave of investors, and they tend to be anti fossil fuels. Could you provide some ETFs that are focused on renewables?
