Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
I am considering selling some of my BX (Blackstone) holdings and buying KKR. The low P/E ratio and high dividend combination seems very attractive. What is your opinion of of this company (with 2-3 year term in mind)?
Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter- I have a lot of US dollars earmarked for the fixed income portion of my portfolio. I realize that 'safe' investments pay less than two percent (if that). I am trying to get 4-5%. I realize that I will have to take a little bit of risk to do this. My two choices are IShares Emerging Market Bonds EMB-N (this pays 4.4%)or the other option is to buy individual rate reset preferred shares. I believe that they work pretty well the same as the Canadian ones and they reset at Libor + 3 to 3.5%. BAC and C both issue these shares. I think that it is better to buy the resets as opposed to the perpetuals. Do you have any comments on this or any alternative suggestions?

Q: Good Afternoon 5i Team
I have a small position in NRG. Have noticed over the past month very little movement on the stock price and, for the past 8 days, it has stayed at $2.25 with very little volume.
Last you reported there is risk but potential. is there anything you can add to that today that might speak towards what you see moving forward and what reasons if any for the stagnant price and minimal trading?
Thanks for all you do
Gord

Q: Peter,
I have a mixed bag of CDN and US stocks in my RRSP. I like Blackstone, especially for its dividend. However unlike many of my US holdings, the dividends are reduced by a withholding tax. Does this have something to do with being an LP?

Q: For those worrying about large capital gains, a stock donation to charity, if you are planning to donate to charity anyway, means you don't pay gains and your charity receives the full value of your stocks when they sell, plus you get a tax benefit. It's a win/win/win way to rebalance, it seems to me. (5i team, please say if there's something wrong with this theory)
Q: Peter, just a comment not a question. I view the departure of Bitove as a strong positive rather than as a negative.

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you think atd.b, aya, and dhx.b are getting close to being fully valued. I understand they are growth stocks, but they seem be getting quite high. I was thinking of increasing my position in atd.b, but was wondering from a valuation standpoint. Thanks for the advice.
