Q: Hi Peter,
I was wondering if you had a simple explanation for market activity on days like this. If we believe Bloomberg, it seems that some slightly better economic news has prompted this sudden plunge in the market on fears of rate hikes. I'm trying to understand why this would cause anyone to sell, and what exactly they expect to happen? Do people sell all their stocks and then decide to just wait however many months it will take for a quarter percent rate hike to get back into the market? Is there some kind of expected gain here? Its not like the likelihood of rate hikes ought to be any kind of surprise anyway, so why are people pressing sell on everything?

Q: My portfolio of rate reset preferred shares (ENB, FTS, MFC, TD) is underwater by 5%. It's average dividend rate is 4% & all rate reset dates occur in 2019. I have two questions. 1) Why are rate reset preferred shares doing so poorly? 2) Is there any hope that their share price will improve in the future? Thanks ... Cal

Q: I'm helping my retiring parents clean-up/rebalance their portfolio. This is a two-part question that's related.

i) How important is it to compare their portfolio's performance to a benchmark?
ii) If i) is important, which funds/etfs can serve as a good benchmark considering their desire to generate a 3.5% dividend in a balanced portfolio?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I'd appreciate a clarification to your response to Michele this morning. You suggested it would be okay to add to OTC but in a post a few days earlier, after the big plunge of OTC, you indicated that you may have to review it's inclusion in the growth portfolio. I'm not sure if it means you've had another look at OTC and decided it's good to hold, even given current conditions. I'd appreciate clarification since I had been thinking about purchasing more (but luckily wasn't too quick to pull the trigger since it lost significant share price).
As always, thank you for everything you do!!!

Q: I have all of the holdings from your growth portfolio in my TFSA as per the percentages you recommended. I now have $10,000 more to add to my account. Would you recommend that I top up the companies that have done well or the companies that are down since buying them all? And/or would you suggest 3 or 4 that you think are the best bet at this time (so I don't have too many trading fees)?
Thanks so much, your advise is appreciated
