Q: Hi Peter and team,
How would you rate BGI.UN as a long term hold for a retiree?
I'm attracted by its high yield and the stability, I assume, of its type of assets.
How safe do you think that yield is?

Thx,
Mike

Q: Good day,
I have been considering trimming if not selling my insurance exposure out right because of falling interest rates. With more and more Central Banks experimenting with negative rates it is possible that eventually Canada and the USA try out negative rates. Would there be any merit in selling GWO,MFC,SLF to buy FFH? My rationale is I could maintain some insurance exposure but if the whole system implodes (this is why they are considering negative rates to begin with because traditional monetary stimulus isn't working), clearly there must be some risks of a black swan event out there. Like you, I don't like to go zero weight any sector so this way I could maintain insurance exposure but also have down side protection? Or should I keep it simple and simply reduce my insurance weight.. Thanks.

Q: With csh up 5.6% since Feb 29 acquisition news, do you its
better to wait for pullback to buy?

Q: Looking to potentially add some U.S. Healthcare stocks in a RRSP. We already hold JNJ.
