Q: I could sell BCE for a "very much needed" capital loss. Would you put the proceeds into Telus or just wait 30 days and buy back BCE? Thanks Ron

Q: For a leveraged account could you suggest 1 or 2 additional Canadian dividend stocks to add.
With the ROC distribution on VEQT is it best to re invest in more shares of the ETF with the funds or does it need to be transferred back against the loan to keep it fully tax deductible.
Thank you!

Q: Do you have a preference between AEP and DUK? My objective is to add some stability and balance to an otherwise aggressive portfolio. I looked at FTS and EMA, but I have limited understanding of the Canadian market. If you believe a Canadian utility offers better growth potential, I would appreciate your insight and any suggestions you may have, given this objective. (Canadian taxpayer; this is for a tax-deferred acc).
Q: I've been mainly a growth investor (30+ time horizon ahead) but am looking to FIRE in a few years, I'm shifting some of my growth stocks into income producing stocks. I have some dividen ETFs (XEI, VDY), some indv dividend stocks and thinking of adding in covered calls or something like FFN although I read from your previous comments you're not fans of split share corps. What is your opinion of using covered call ETFs and why are you not a fan of split share corps? Take as many credits as needed.

Q: I’m a62 year old retired investor with an excellent DB Pension and I’m working on a supplemental cash flow with my TFSAs,I have held the above stocks for about 4 years all roughly 10-12K in value and have been set up as DRIPs
My question is could you recommend another 8-10 Cdn dividend stocks($ 100K of room) I would add to this account coming from another TFSA,these could possibly have 4-6 % capitol growth and 4-6% dividend yield and in 3 years I would go from a DRIP to monthly or quarterly cash payments,I am medium risk and the sectors would not matter ….Thanks Greg

Q: Given today’s announcement of Telus pausing dividend increases, would you now view it as a buy at these levels? Should we have confidence a cut is not coming? Also what practically does their discounted DRIP plan achieve? Why not just eliminate the discount in full now?
Q: Which stock would you recommend over the next 2 years.

Q: Is there an ETF with a similar overall P/E, dividend, and composition to FLVU but with lower MER ?
Q: Telus has been in my portfolio following the BE Portfolio basically since 5i started (I joined the first day) and I think I actually even owned it before that.
With it getting completely smashed over the last while and seemingly overblown concerns about its dividend, should we be adding to it here? I have a 2.3% weighting currently (this started at a 5% weighting in the BE Portfolio) due to it underperforming the rest of the portfolio so much. Should we add to it here to take on the 9+% dividend or should we leave it and watch it or are there better suggestions to put new money to work today?
This stock is so hated today, it makes me wonder if we should be adding to it while no one likes it.

Q: I will have a fresh 100K to deploy in early January which I would like to invest in dividend paying stocks that benefit from the dividend tax credit. Ten solid Canadian companies with a good return and good growth ahead.
Would you please recommend some stocks that I could start a new income portfolio in this climate, at these prices? Thank you. I have some preferences, and wonder what you would add/delete/substitute.
Enbridge, RBC, Pembina, Emera, Brookfield Renewable, ... and then I draw a blank because I suddenly feel I am duplicating industry giants. Is A & W still buyable? Thanks.
Please draw as many points as necessary!

Q: Was looking through your Tax Loss Selling Report and Dream Unlimited caught my attention. Not much love for or attention paid to this stock to the point that there were no quetions re. its most recent earnings on Nov. 11 . Could I have your belated assessment of these earnings before I decide whether to take a flyer or talk myself down .
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
Q: Do you think Telus is an oportunistic buy at this time? Risk/Reward.?

Q: Let's say a conservative investor (i) wants to invest US dollars in US ETFs, (ii) wants principal protection above all, for example by investing primarily in BIL.
If this investor wants to move a little bit up the risk ladder with a view to getting more yield, by adding one or two other conservative ETFs (while continuing to hold BIL as the primary holding): what would you suggest?
