Investment Q&A

Q: As my wife and I 'leap' over the 90 year-yard line, we ponder what to invest in for our heirs in the coming year - - specifically using our 'new' TFSA contribution room. Historically, we have preferred to use Perpetual Preferred shares - - specifically WN.PR.A and POW.PR.A for their yield, their track record as companies, their distributions which are dividends and taxed as such, and they offer DRIP (at least in our discount house). I am looking for suggestions of other high quality firms that might be considered. Use as many credits as required to answer please. Thank you for all your help over the past several years. Happy New Year! Bill

Q: Why do you feel that TRP is outperforming ENB in the past year, anything to do with what they are putting through the pipes, natural gas vs. oil.
Thanks Again

Q: Hello Peter
I am a retired investor
I do have a nice portfolio on utilities as well as pipelines
both have been lagging the market compared to the banks and the gold stocks but are ahead of the energy and real estate sector
What do you think with the low interest rate environment and the tariffs situation;
that utilities and pipelines will do in 2026, Thank you
Michael

Q: I have owned BCE for 15 years and T (Telus) for maybe 10 years or less - combined $80K investments. Both are down for different reasons. I am up , including dividends a fair bit as I reinvest the dividends where opportunities present. Would you add to T at the current price?

Q: What are your thoughts on this company?

Q: Can only keep one. Which one would you keep for a long term hold?

Thanks

Q: As a retired investor I am looking for dividend income. Please rank the buying order you would have for the above stocks with the emphasis on rising dividends, dividend stability, and safety of dividend. My holding period is 10 years plus

Q: Considering the next 3 years: BUY? SELL? or HOLD?

Q: Your thoughts on NRT please

Q: Good afternoon!
I have substantial room in our TFSAs this year due to large withdrawals made. I plan on moving some combination of these four equities into it from RIFs and my unregistered acount:

BCE, T, LIF, CHE.UN

Taxation is not a concern, as the only one in an unregistered account is BCE, and it is just slightly down from my purchase price (no doubt due to tax loss selling).
My reasoning on choosing these four is that each of these has some potential growth of a substantial nature, and therefore would be better in a TFSA as opposed to a RIF or unregistered account.
Could you please comment on this logic, and also rank them on the basis of growth from most likely to least likely over the next few years?
Please take as many credits as necessary.
Thanks!

Q: Could you comment on CJ going forward on current energy levels and perhaps a trend dowward,especially with the high dividend

Q: Would selling Telus for a tax loss and buying BCE as a "replacement" be considered net acceptable by CRA? Happy Holdiays!

Q: is there any reason to expect meaningful growth in TD during the next year or two? I have a full position and I think the yield is down and the stock is getting tired. I am thinking of selling some (e.g. 20%) shares or selling covered calls in some at about 135/share.. What do you think of the stock going forward for the next two years?

Q: I’m looking at buying into one of ATRL, STN or WSP. I am struck by the low PE of ATRL vs the other 2 (5.6, 30.9 and 36.7 respectively).
I understand this is due to higher earnings this year from ATRL. Is this likely to continue or is it an anomaly?
Which would you buy today for a long-term hold?

Q: FYI!!!!! Just confirmed with TD Waterhouse even though X dividend is today, you can not sell it today to get the Special $10 dividend.

Q: After years of holding this company I sold it for tax loss. I'm confident I have time to rebuy after 30 days without the need of a proxy. The question is, should I rebuy it. Even though it has grown for the last 3-4 Q's as a result of its entry into the RTD market, investors don't seem to care. Perhaps with a risk off market and a shift to value it could run. What do you think? How would you rank this stock, as an income stock with moderate growth or just a straight income stock? What would you consider a better income stock with moderate growth? Can you review it's last 2 or 3 Q's in your response? Thank you.

Q: Have a capital loss with Telus of 23%. Would you recommend selling Telus and buying one of BCE, QBR.B or RCI.B or just keeping cash buying back T after 30 days or doing something else? How would you rank BCE, QBR.B, RCI.B, T for an income account for purchase?

Q: It appears that BCE would eventually lose HBO in it's Crave offering if Netflix buys Warner Bros. How significant would this be for BCE?

Q: Hi, I’m looking to create a portfolio of dividend growth stocks split over Canada and Us stocks with 10-12 names. Can you make a recommendation on the names you would use?

Q: GWO has done extremely well this year, up over 40%, while MFC is up over 11%. SLF, though, has lagged, down about 1.5% over the past year. What explains the wide gulf in their stock performance?
