Q: Hi Peter,
Enghouse has not been doing well. Do you still like it for long term hold? Any idea why Brookfield Bussiness Partners is going up today? Also, does recent announcement of Brookfield raising $14 B for the Global infrastructure Fund refer to BGI.UN? If so, is it better to invest in BGI.UN or BIP. UN? Lastly, Telecom stocks are stable but the PEs are quite high. Can you shed some light please? Thanks

Q: I have the following 4 companies in a conservative, "steady-eddy" portfolio: T, SPB, SLF, and BNS.

I have cash to add two more Canadian companies. What would you recommend in order to add some diversification to the above 4 but to maintain a conservative portfolio?

Thanks,

Q: Telus is basically flat from one year ago (even including the dividend), and has compared poorly over that period to BCE and Rogers. For a long term hold in a non-registered account, do you still like it? (I already have a full position in BCE, and wouldn't go near Rogers, so if you're not keen on its prospects I'll probably look to a different sector.) Thanks!

Q: Everyone I know under 30 is basically a TV cord-cutter or a cord-never (sp?). I know that all three of the telecoms have had significant investments in the TV / cable, and I'm concerned that longer term, TV will go the way of the landline. Is this a valid concern, and should I be getting out of the telecom industry? I currently hold Telus (T) and it has done very little for me in the last 12 months.

Q: Good Morning, I'm working at rebalancing our TFSA's. I've sold BIN and with this years money have enough cash for 4 or 5 new positions. I'm at around 16% info tech, 33% industrial, 6% finance, 6% energy, 14% consumer disc., 9% health care and 14% real estate. You can see I'm completely missing some sectors that I assume offer less growth. Would you recommend I add some telecom, utilities or materials in my TFSA's? considering I hold some of those in other investments? If not, how much would you add to each of the other sectors? and which would be your top two choices in each? Thanks for the great service. Rod

Q: Hi,

I am considering purchasing Telus as a long-term hold for a combination of rising dividends and capital gains. From the previous questions and the fact that it is in the balanced portfolio, I see that you like Telus. On BNN, some of the analysts are worried about Telus due to its Western exposure, given low oil prices as well as other factors that may cause a further slowdown in the economy of Western Canada (Such as Provincial and Federal carbon taxes, etc..). Do you think that this concern is exaggerated, or is it a serious concern that you may factored into your assessment of Telus? Also, for how long do you think that Telus can continue increasing dividends yearly, or twice a year?

Thanks,
IF
