Q: Hi Everyone,
Lately PKI seems to be on a downward trajectory. I am wondering if it's time to sell the stock, or do you see it rebounding this year.?
Also, I would like your opinion on DHT.UN. I know nothing about this stock,but it has a very attractive dividend. Does it have a lot of debt? How safe is its dividend and does it have any growth potential?
I appreciation your opinion.
Thanks,
Jane

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team
I have held QSR in a RIF and am considering replacing it with KEG or AW. Both have more attractive dividends and seem to be performing better in the present environment. Could you rank in order of preference based on present valuation and future returns. Thanks for all you do.

Q: Are these good for growth & Dividends? Thanks!

Q: Please comment on impact on Ta of Rnw repair issue.

Q: I am looking to add a position in Energy & utility sector and grow the dividend portfolio, today RNW had more than a 10% drop, is it time to buy?

Q: Would you prefer United Parcel Services or Stanley Black and Decker as a US industrial holding in a dividend portfolio? What about MMM? Can you rank these three via your preference?

Q: 5i: Just realised the yield of over 5%. Wow! What is your take? Sustainable? Considering swapping to Su from Vet which I am still down today at about 22%. Make any sense? Tks. Larry

Q: What do you think of buying some of this in a non registered account for the tax benefits you could receive.
If I buy at the current price ~ $24. before ex-dividend on Jan 18th I get a U$12.00 dividend (about C$15.57). Assume the stock drops down to $10. and I sell the stock I break even on cost, but I get a dividend tax credit and a capital loss on the sale of the stock. Both are a tax advantage.
If I buy in a registered account, it is more of a gamble with no tax benefits. Looking at their other business lines I can't see anything that would make me interested in holding after the sale of the bike business.
Looks like 3 or more insiders hold about 6mm shares. Nice dividend for them.
I realize you can't be tax experts, but I thought it was an interesting option.
Would like to hear your comments.
Thanks

Q: In response to a question from Stephen, about stocks that pay a monthly dividend, you said “There are not a lot of blue chips that pay monthly.”

I have enjoyed monthly income and a nice (unrealized) capital gain from LWRK for more than a decade.

Would you not consider LWRK to be a “blue chip” that Stephen should consider for monthly retirement income and, if not, why not?

The stock price is well off its highs. Is LWRK good value at current prices?

Q: I have some extra USD money from a small US pension that is used for going to Florida in the winters. Since we have not gone in the last two years, I would like to put some of it in our TFSA. My questions are, if I buy say TD on the NY stock exchange would the dividend in US dollars be subject to 15% withholding tax. Could you please give me several companies I could buy into if this is true. Could you also give me several US companies or ETF's that would give me a dividend and hopefully growth for a long term hold. Thank you for all the help I get for being a member. Gary

Q: I currently hold Maple Leaf Foods (MFI.CA) in my TFSA. It appears to be currently trading around its fair value (at least according to Morningstar). And MFI.CA just announced that it is reviewing its recent investments in plant based protein products (like veggie burgers). So it future growth prospects may be suspect.

I suspect it may be a good time to exit. Can you recommend another consumers staples stock for my TFSA as a long term hold?

Or maybe I should not have ANY exposure in the consumer staples sector in my TFSA given the slow growth and typically lower returns in the long run in this sector. Your thoughts please!
