Q: Could I please get your opinion on this income instrument for a very conservative retired investor who needs a steady income stream but wants to preserve capital? I already have 80% of my portfolio in GICs.

Q: We have held STZ for some time, thinking that with the legalization of cannabis, this would be an attractive stock to hold. However, we have been very disappointed with the results. What action would be recommend at this point?
Q: Dear 5i,
I currently hold BIP in my USD account because it pays dividends in USD.
When the proposed share split is implemented;
1. What happens if one holds BIP in a USD account?
2. What happens if one holds BIP.UN in a CDN account?
3. Should I "journal" BIP to my CDN account prior to the split?
I'm afraid I didn't understand the bulletin on the Brookfield site.
thanks

Q: Member Sam's mention of Medical Properties Trust this morning caught my eye. I've been looking for a replacement for Dream Global Reit, with some international exposure, and had been considering NWH.UN. But MPW looks interesting too! Would you prefer one over the other, or neither? This is for a non-registered account.

Q: Hi Peter & Team
Love your service. I have good pension income and a balanced portfolio of Cdn & US stocks in my TFSA's and non registered accounts.
I also have $300,000 in my RRIF accounts and would like to rebalance with a few conservative stock ETF's (3-4 ..?) to achieve US & Global coverage. What do you suggest ...

Q: I own both of these companies. Looking to increase my exposure to renewable energy companies. Looking to the future, do you see any greater upside in share price for either one or should I just increase my investment in each one? Do you know of any other Canadian companies that are comparable or may even have more chance of increasing in value as we move forward. Both of these companies are held in my RRIF account. Thanks for your much respected advice.
Q: I owned both of these names in the past and lately BEP.UN is acting like a runaway train and BPY.UN is like stuck in the mud. If I want to re-enter either one of these two names at very this moment, which one would you recommend for a combined return package (i.e., growth and yield)? Thanks.

Q: Hi, how significant is the recent news about a new contract? Also, reading between the lines it seems it's a contract from the Canadian government. If so, what do you think the risk is of this going away if a miracle happens and there is a change in government later this month?
