on BNN this morning says to avoid canadian telcos, he says it is now a competitive market wireless prices are coming down, price competition is here to stay and likely will get uglier, he thinks atleast one of the big three will be forced to cut there dividend and that will re-price all of the telcos lower. he says he is short selling the telcos.

Well...he would say all that if he is short. I would say that now night not be a bad time to buy all these dividend payers in sectors that historically demanded huge capital investment...say   BCE, T, ACO, ENB, TRP,....etc and at the same time buy a healthy weight in gold and oil and gas stock to protect oneself should inflation truly get out of control again.
