Q: I've been holding WIN in my TFSA (for the dividend income). Now I'm wondering whether it's worth transferring it out into my unregistered account and hanging onto it for an eventual recovery, or to just dump it. What would you suggest? (Either way, it's not staying in my TFSA!) Thanks

Q: Is now a good time to establish positions in a preferred share ETF? Is there a significant difference among the various funds available (ie: CPD, PPS, ZDV or the National Bank Preferred Equity Income Fund - sorry could not find the symbol)? With interest rates likely to increase, how stable are each of these funds and if it is a good investment (1 to 3 years) which would you recommend? Please indicate how you would rank these funds for performance.

Thanks

Q: Good Evening
I am an income investor, early 70's. I have a 15% holding in a diversified REIT portfolio. My holding of D.UN is 2.5% of my total portfolio. At what looks like a bargain price today would you advise an increase of 1 to 2% to D.un?


Thanks to All

Q: There has been much talk lately about sector rotation. Can you tell us sectors that are being sold and what sectors the money is going into. Is this due to where we are in the economic cycle . Are we still in the "recovery" cycle. Thanks again for your great service

Q: Hi there,

I have owned this company for sometime and the results have been consistent over a long period of time. It has dropped recently - it would appear that is in sympathy with the Autoparts industry as a whole. Does this make sense and would you continue to hold if you owned. Thanks

Q: I am underwater 4.1% on VET and 6.7% on DRG.UN. Is this because of the recent crisis in France? We do need the income, but is this the time to sell, or should I hold? If I sell, I'll have over $70,000 to invest. Can you give me some dividend paying Canadian names to look at. We already have all the major banks,MST,SRU,AX,HR,DRG,HOT,CSH reits, BIP.UN,BEP.UN,PKI,NFI,NWC,EMA,NPI,FTS,BCE,T > Many thanks.

Q: I am a 72 year old income investor. I currently have 17% of my portfolio in "Pipelines/Utilities" including ENB 5.8%; TRP 2.7%; IPL 2%; PPL 2.7%; ALA 2.9%; VSN 1.2%; all held for several years. My questions are 1. How do I allocate each of these between Pipelines and Utilities? 2. Would you recommend consolidating some of these to fewer names? Thanks for your great service.

Q: I have to ask as I am still holding my WIN (wrong symbol for sure). You mentioned holding until the shareholder base changed and new investors buy in. How long do you think this process will take and do you expect it to recover to over $1.50 in the short term? In hindsight, I should have sold on news and joined the rush out. Management should be fired for what they have done to this company.

Q: Hi there,

I wanted to comment on one of your member's comments on his losses on individual 5i stocks. I too have been a member for a very long time and the one thing I have learned is to stick with a disciplined portfolio approach rather than just trying to pick stocks from your portfolios. This has led me to consistently better overall results over a number of years. Some stocks have gone done at times and recovered at other times. But it is the 'stick with it' portfolio approach which has led to better than market returns. Thanks for all that you do.

Publish at your own discretion.
