Q: PLC has gone sideways this ytd compared to most of my holdings that have moved back up. It is one of my smaller holdings so wondering if it is a good time to top it up to a full position or move on to other names in the income portfolio with higher yields, likely split in BCE, TMX and SLF.

Q: Many companies have become addicted to low interest rates over the last decade. Assuming that interest rates stay where they are for years to come (a rate once considered somewhat "normal"), do you see any problem with any of these blue chip stocks maintaining their dividend ? I'm sure over the course of the next 5 years or so some of these companies will need to renew debt at higher rates.

Q: In my RIF, the SLF position is now 5.5%. I have a very small starter position (< 1%) in BRK-NE. Thinking of reducing SLF by 1.5% and putting it into BRK . I realize there will be an overall reduction in dividend from the reduced SLF position but am anticipating growth in BRK will more than offset this issue . Any concerns on such a move ?

Q: Hello, I have too many financial stocks and I would like to sell one of the above but I'm not sure which one to let go of. I was thinking of letting X go or one of the Brookfield stocks. Your thoughts please, I feel I can get enough diversification with only four stocks in this sector. Thank you in advance.
