Q: My weighting in pipelines is 7.1%. In a recent response to a question, you suggested pipelines be considered as part of the energy section, as pipelines are reacting to the decreases in crude oil prices. My pipelines positions are AX.un, ENB, iPL, KEY, and PPL. With a sector weighting for “genuine” utilities of 5%, I would like your suggestion of a few key names that I could consider for this sector within a diversified portfolio……Thanks….Tom

Q: A question about Purpose ETF (ex; PDF); in particular the corporate class funds. The implication is that even highly taxed interest income (or foreign dividend) can be distributed as a capital gain (less tax). I was under the impression that this would change and be now off limits ?
Thanks

Thanks

Q: First best to the season to you.

I was wondering about your general thoughts on Shaw, now that the Wind purchase had rattled the stock price. Is this good for Shaw in the future, and is the current price one to consider it a buy now?
Is the duel stock structure a big hindrance to the growth of the stock price?
As always, thanks..
