Q: DIV recently announced a dividend increase, which they say has a pay-out ratio of 92%. I am a bit confused here as it seems like an odd time to do this. Your thoughts on the increase and on the safety of the dividend moving forward are appreciated. Thank-you.

Q: Hi
I have held SPB for a long time and my cost is $5.98 Over the years the stock has been more than paid for itself by the dividends.
It has been as high as $16.00 in the past year or so but now it is back below $10.00 again. It now yields over 7%. Is that out of line or even sustainable?
What could be the fundamental reason for this latest set-back? Winter is on it's way and global warming notwithstanding it will likely get colder.
They have continually been buying more assets and should that not make the shares more valuable?
Could I have your analyses please. H.

Q: Is there a NYSE traded ETF you can recommend that provides a somewhat higher interest rate with liquidity and safety - one or two if you can - thank you.
Q: Hi, Could you please confirm the Ex-Dividend Dates for these two companies. The company investor relations website says Ex-Dividend Date - Sep 29, 2022 and Record Date - Sep 30, 2022. But the TMX as well as our CIBC Brokerage shows Ex-Dividend Date as Sep 28, 2022. Could you please confirm. Thank You
Q: What is your opinion about TRP? Why? How do you rate the three big pipeline companies in Canada? Thanks very much
Q: Saw this company from the questions page. Took a quick look at their fundamentals. Wouldn't it have better served the company and investors to do a 10% share buyback then to announce a dividend. That would have retired 25 million shares.
Q: Falling knife? I'm guessing sometime in the next quarter, oil prices will rebound.
Is it worthwhile to begin accumulating at these levels and lower ? Thanks!

Q: Good Morning,
As the market gets beaten down yields on some very good companies are becoming difficult to ignore.
With a recession in sight yields could possibly get even better.
I am retired and an income investor sitting on substantial cash.
What would be your preferred course of action at this time?
What companies would be most attractive to you?
Thanks

Can you suggest 6-8 stocks US or Can that would be in a solid l-o-n-g term growth and income portfolio. I would particularly like stocks that have recently been a little soft.
Thanks

Q: Gear Energy continues to fall and the yield is now a little over 10% (having introduced a dividend in May of this year). It strikes me as a good buy. What are your thoughts?
Q: Good Morning,
In a response to Gabriel on September 21 you suggested BX as a good US income opportunity.

Q: Hi, Any comments, why NPI price dropped 2.65% Today, while most utilities were positive. Does it have something to do with price caps on power, announced in Europe ? Thanks
Q: Innergex seemed to be rolling along nicely until this week, then it suddenly dropped 5% on a day and is now down 10% on the week. Is there some news I haven't read or seen? I generally don't expect utilities to be this volatile. What do you think of INE?

Q: In my non-registered account, I have had small holdings in MRG.UN and NWH.UN for years, as well as larger holdings in ZRE and FIE. I was wondering if I should consider selling all four and splitting the proceeds between GRT.UN, CAR.UN, CPX, and SLF. I am looking for income but would also like some capital appreciation.
What do you think? Note that I also hold ZRE and FIE in my RRSP and plan to keep both in that account. Thank you.
