Q: I am a dividend growth investor and I’m running out of patience with Rogers who hasn’t increased its dividend in over 3 yrs. It appears that Rogers takeover of Shaw is almost certain at this point. This takeover will cost Rogers 20 billion and likely add significant debt to their balance sheet. Do you see Rogers increasing its dividend anytime soon or ever again? I’m considering selling my Rogers shares for a small profit and using the proceeds to increase my Telus holdings and was curious as to your thoughts on this move. Really appreciate the great service that you provide.

Q: I have a question for 5i with respect to the “oil service subsector” of the energy sector. I currently own some pipeline stocks (large cap) and some E&P stocks (one small cap and one mid cap), however, I do not own an oil service stock at the present time. So…. I have some questions and would appreciate your views on the subsector.

With E&P companies focused on balance sheets, and returning capital to shareholders, are those management actions having any impact on the oil services sector?? Your views please.

If you think the oil services sector is not unduly impacted by the E&P focus outlined, how do you view the services sector – is it a favourable view??

How might one invest in the sector, would I be better off with a large cap like Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, or Haliburton and if so which one (s) would you favour? If not, are there smaller cap companies that warrant some investor attention and what names come to mind, would your focus be US based or Canadian based – thanks in advance.

Q: I am interested in increasing my current energy holdings (ENB, TRP, WMB, LNG, TVE, TOU) for higher dividends, likely by selling WMB for PNE, GXE or PEY but saw PBR with its huge 50+% dividend.

Normal questions apply: sustainable, country risk...? Is this the type of heightened div percentages Can companies are talking about increasing toward?

Many thanks.

Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i team!

May I please get your thoughts on ERF. I've held it for a while and have done well. I'm concidering rotating out of this name and shifting to either WCP, HWX or TVE all of which have better dividends and could run harder if oil catches a bid (as many oil bulls are expecting). Do you prefer any of these name over the others....or, stay the course. Thoughts?

Thanks

Dave

Q: Have held RNW for about 6 years, and seen it go up, then down, then way up and way down. At the moment I am up a couple percent on the stock price (not including dividends). I know they had some issues with their off-shore turbines, and recently I have read some comments about them probably reducing the dividend in the near future. Could you comment on RNW in general, and the dividend issue in particular. Do you think it might be better to take a small gain and move on, or just sit tight?
Thank-you, Grant
