Q: Hi Team, I asked a question yesterday on LRE (Long Run Exploration) and my takeaway from your answer was that many companies that moved into a slow growth dividend model were not doing well. I agree with that assessment with regard to SGY, TOG etc.I would like to have your recommendation's in this space? Thank you.

Q: I just purchased the new Canadian Tire REIT - CRT.UN - which declared its monthly distribution for December at an annualized payout rate of 8.26% Wow! I realize the sector won't provide much capital appreciation but this particular REIT seems extremely stable given its long-term leases from Canadian Tire owners. As an income investor, can I rely on this payout as sustainable over the long haul?

Q: To Ivan's question on brokerages (19-Nov). I personally have been using BMO Investorline, with no issues and great investor information at $9.95 a trade with $50K minimum account. They allow you to group accounts to get to the $50K which was nice when I was short with my TFSA. - Cheers.

Each has a bank( RY,BNS), reit (KMP, AX.UN), pipeline (PPL, IPL), insurance (SLF, MFC) and oil ( VET, ARX),all equal weight, all dividend paying and on DRIPS.

Q: Peter I have a relatively large portfolio and safety net and am still working but don't have to be.
I was wondering if it might make sense to take a portion of cash (perhaps 10% of my assets) which I don't need and won't need in my lifetime and invest it in an aggressive segregated fund. I understand the downside is the cost of about 3% and locking in for 10 years but the upside is the ability reset in accordance with my gains and protect my principle. Would you consider such a move?

Q: I'm looking at TKM and wondering if you think there may be a chance they get taken out by ALNY given the court ruling in favour of TKM. With a fairly sizeable cash hoard it would seem like a good move for ALNY.
