Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I remain with a small position in OBDC. Even though it is down a fair bit and has been for quite some time, There has been many comments about OWL but not OBDC. I bought it for the dividend and will be happy enough as long as it continues. Do you see the OBDC dividend as secure? Do you see any prospect that the whole enterprise might collapse? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Can you suggest utility stocks to hold for the long term? I currently own capital power, Enbridge and Brookefield infrastructure.

I noted TA is a best stock recommendation but is it too much overlap with CPX?

Q: This stock has seen a consistent decrease over the past while in an environment where energy / utilities have rallied and when HALO stocks have gained traction.

Is there something missing as it seems TA has solid growth for a utility and is based in a province where energy abundance + population growth + favorable government + data center opportunities + Brookfield ownership / partnership all seem to be favorable tailwinds.

Am I missing something as this seems to be a good idea for growth and was recently on the Best Stock Idea list.

Q: Not too long ago I asked the question below. Given recent turmoil affecting the markets I’d like to ask it again, however would like you to consider current global risk in your response. Thank you.


Q: I would like your top 3 selections to invest in (and why) under the following scenario.

In your view moderate risk Canadian stocks, with a clear pathway (sjt externalities) to forecast stock price gains of >15% annually, yet having an annual dividend of 3% or greater. Exclude Oil stocks and major Bank stocks.

I know...it is asking a lot and if we could do this reliably we'd already be retired and on a beach somewhere! Thanks for all you do...

Q: I am sitting on a fair bit of cash in my portfolio and would like to start transitioning into dividend paying stocks. I have looked through the income portfolio and notice that quite a few of them are near all time highs. I know you don't like trying to time the market but do you think it would be prudent to wait for the current market volatility to pass before starting to build positions. Looking at Stingray group and TD, they have both almost double in the last year. Thoughts?

Q: Recently your team viewed MDLZ as expensive. I'm assuming that this is mainly based on squeezed margins and lower earnings (?), because I see P/S and P/CF as reasonable.

I know GIS likely shares similar issues. Technically, if GIS got to the $32 level, it would seem like an extremely good buy if it could ever get the margins under control.

Do you see either as a better buy than the other? I would assume that there would be no concern on either company's debt or dividend ?

Q: I am ~ 25% underwater with BCE and Telus; the former has cut its dividend and the latter is expected to follow suit. What is your opinion on selling both holdings and buying HBND for about twice the dividend income. I realize this is purely an income play and no capital gains are likely.

Q: Can you give me an idea of the relative value of the two Brookfield Infrastructures? Seems like BIPC is somewhat expensive and buying focus should be on the units (bearing in mind the tax issues)? Thanks

Q: I'm looking to move on from BCE in a taxable income-seeking account after a trading gain as I don't think the long-term growth prospects are all that compelling. I already own Telus, Royal Bank and 3 pipelines along with CPX. Would you have a few recommendations for a decent dividend along with some growth to compliment my portfolio? Thanks.

Q: What are 5 beaten down high dividend paying stocks with great value that you would invest in today?

Q: Really a question of safe low growth dividend stock prices. All these utility stocks are at 52 week highs. Are they worth it at these prices or are they simply a place for people to hide out until Trumps latest crazy ego trip comes to an end. Thanks
