Q: These stocks are about 10% of my portfolios. To reduce risk and to improve cash flow I would like to increase utilities to 20%. Is this a good time to add to this group since most candidates are expensive and interest rate sensitive. Could I have your recommendations?

Thank you, Werner

Q: Hi,
I am retired and 63 years old.
I have 50K in ALTAMIRA HIGH-INTEREST CASHPERFORMER - F
NBC200 in my RSSP waiting to be deployed. I will not need that money for the next ten years. I told my broker that this investment was not even keeping up with inflation.
He suggested to buy CUF.un (20000$) and PWF (30000$).
Would you think of better alternatives?
Thank you

Q: Recently I've sold some non performing stocks as well as stocks that were a very small portion of my portfolio in an effort to concentrate my portfolio on some higher quality, better performing stocks and I've come up with these 6. Wondering if you could rank these based on risk from less risky to most risky. I'm fairly conservative, tend to hold good quality companies for long periods (5-10 years) and I don't like a lot of volatility - I'd rather get a 5% return and sleep at night than a 10% return and stress about it.

Q: I bought AGU for the decent yield in my income portion of my portfolio. Now with the planned merger I am concerned that the new company may have a lower yield and likely be more volatile due to higher potash exposure. If the deal goes through would you be keeping the new shares in the income portfolio?
