Q: Telus and BCE vrs Verizon ?

Peter. I own both T and BCE and feel a bit nervous about the giant in the room, ie Verizon. If VZ with a market cap of 147B enters the Canadian market they will do so with a bang ( not a wimper like target),I am thinking of selling both as I feel the stocks will take a bit of a pounding if VZ does come to town.
Appreciate you time and knowledge
Cheers

Q: Hi Peter and thoughts on the report yesterday issued by Veritas Investment research in regards to the big 3 telecom companies in Canada and the possibility of increased competition in this space? I see Rogers took a pretty good hit. The analyst is suggesting the possibility of a 15% hit in the share price of all 3 if the regulations are changed by June 5.
Thanks.

Q: Hello, Peter & Staff: After buying Bell Aliant (BA) for my TFSA three years ago at 26.00, it's still at 26.00 today. The dividend is very nice, but no growth after three years is a little discouraging. Now that Telus is at a more affordable price, and even though it's dividend is about half that of BA, I would like your opinion of selling BA and buying Telus - or perhaps Manitoba Tel. Part of my reason for purchasing BA was I thought it might be a buy-out at the time, but it would appear that such is not the case. Thank you for your advice and your much appreciated service. John

Q: Hello Peter - I'm wondering about Telus - my children were given stocks when Telus first sold on the market. With Canada being the most expensive country for phone service, I'm wondering what might happen to Telus if the rates were to come down in line with other countries?
Thanks
Heather
