Q: There has been a significant drop in the share price (~20%) over the last month which I can't understand from the quarterly results. Occupancy remains very high and all metrics appear good to my untrained high except for net income and comprehensive income over the last 3 months, but good over 9 months. Can you shed some light for me please?

Q: What do you think if their Rate reset Pref shares on offer today? I may not be able to buy it anyways if this doesn't get your attention soon! Perhaps you can answer about Rate resets in general under the current post Trump environment, especially if he wants Janet Yellen out!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and team,

In a recent BNN "Top Picks", Daniel Lloyd recommended shorting EMA because of their high debt. He states: "Emera, having recently purchased TECO, is now saddled with $14.7 billion in debt which represents a roughly 13x debt/cash flow ratio on a stock that trades an excessive 18x earnings multiple." Not that I'm contemplating shorting EMA, but looking at a gain of 21%, would you recommend staying the course with EMA, or switching to something like FTS which you seem to like more? Or, assuming appropriate balance among the sectors, would you recommend something else entirely? EMA is presently held in a TFSA, along with CAR.UN, DHX.B, KXS, GUD, PBH, and SIS. All except DHX.B are up, and SIS is up 108%. :) Thank you for your terrific recommendations and on-going advice and insight.

Q: Dear Peter

On October 17th.I cash out all my power balanced portfolio (13 stocks total 400 k.) to avoid stock crash if Trump wins US election.
Now US election is over ,Trump won and stock market did not crush on contrary it looks like stock is going up and up.

Because I want to replace my previously sold portfolio positions please tell me if you would do it now or would you wait for another month or two to buy previously sold portfolio positions.

I was happy with my portfolio which was pretty close to 5i Balance Portfolio and I'm not planning to change any thing in it.

AndrewB.
