Investment Q&A

Q: What one US stock would you recommend for healthy dividend and moderate growth. Any sector is fine. Thanks for your guidance as always.

Q: Hi 5i,
I hold NFI in a reg'd account where I endeavour to buy and hold. A while ago it was up nicely but then lost all its gains and more when the revised guidance came out. Now, with its recent soft recovery and dividends accounted for it's back in black, slightly.
I'm not optimistic about NFI's next couple of years and would like to see better capital gain and dividend income from the funds currently in NFI, and I'm considering WJX as a replacement. What do you think of this move and, if not WJX, can you suggest another one or two names for me to consider?
Much the same circumstances and question regarding AQN, which I think is somewhat stale these days and may be for a few years to come. I'm considering CPX as a replacement and would appreciate your opinion on that move, and your suggestions of one or two other than CPX if you think leaving AQN behind is wise but CPX might not be the answer.
Thanks and please deduct accordingly.

Q: I am looking for monthly income. So far I am considering ZEB, KEY, PPL, and either HHL-B or HHL-T. Your opinion on those, and any suggestions you have, please.

Q: Good Day 5I team: Can you account for the recent and for me quite dramatic decline?All the best and thanks Larry

Q: I thought Imperial Oil had a great quarter but it's getting hammered by the market. What did I miss and what is your outlook here? Should I switch to a different oil stock?

Q: I’m thinking of expanding my energy holdings. I bought Whitecap a few months ago and have enjoyed a nice bump in value along with a solid dividend. I’m considering TVE, SU and/or ENB for a combo of dividend and SP appreciation. Could you please discuss the relative merits of each in a 1-2 year timeline. I’d definitely hold longer if the case can be made that green energy investment and ESG movements don’t derail fossil fuel companies from meeting existing market demand.

Q: Hi 5i
WCP report earnings today...How did they do in your opinion? Shares are down -3% so far..
What is their outlook going forward and if its looking OK at what price would be a decent entry point.
Thx
Jim

Q: For a longer term (5-10yr) dividend hold we currently own AQN and are wondering if adding or replacing it with another such as EMA, FTS or NPI is prudent given AQN's flaccid performance over the past 18 months.
Thank you for sharing your insight.

Q: Dear 5i,
I hope you're well today.
I'm trying to pick the "better" company in which to invest new money.
May I have your opinion, please?
I like all three, but between BEP, CPX, and AQN what would be your preference?
Thank you.

Q: The recent price decline seems to be reversing with similar voracity. We took the shares for our IPL position, primarily because of the name "Brookfield". It seems to be a name that attracts money.
Is there any other reason that you can see, for the recent volatility ?

Q: Good Morning,
Two ?s here: I put in a buy on SU before markets opened with a limit 21 cents above yesterdays close. It didn't fill, and now the stock is up about $2.50.
How would you approach putting an order in prior to market opening on this sort of event?
And do you think there is more room to run on the share price based on the quarter, dividend increase and share by back news?
Thanks,
Tim

Q: May I please have your comments on earnings. Cheers

Q: Stock screeners. Could you suggest web sites with a great stock screener tool - free or paid?

Failing that could you list Canadian companies that currently pay a dividend above 2.75 % and have no debt?

Q: Supposing that I don't like the deal announced yesterday, what would make a good replacement stock in the sector that offers a 4%+ dividend and some aspect of, "greening"?

Thanks

Q: what are your thoughts on the Capital Power Q report?

thanks.

John

Q: There was a big sell off today following the third quarter earnings report.

Is the news that bad, or is this a buying opportunity?

Q: I have held Cenovus for a few years in a registered account. Would you see better valuation and growth in Suncor or another company. Who has the better upside?
Thank you

Q: Comments on acquisition?

Q: Can you give me your opinion on todays announcement of an acquisition and a stock offering. They say it will be accretive, yet I can' help but think it will be dilutive.

Also they say there will not be another offering before mid 2022 - Does this mean they will be making another acquisition?

Are they using the offerings in part to cover the dividends?

This is a stock I bought for the dividend, but expected some growth and safety. I actually have a small capital gain, but the stock has done very poorly over the past year, although I know the pandemic has been a severe negative factor.

They say that this acquisition means that 80% of the company will be regulated - why do some analysts talk about this as a renewable energy company?

Should I dump it?

Q: I have held BCE & RCI.b for 15 years as my Telecom Holdings (5% each of my equity portfolio). I just sold my RCI.b shares due to poor performance over the years plus the current squabble just pushed me over the edge.

Do you think Telus would make a suitable replacement for RCI.b in the Telecom space given its diversification in 5G, health, international etc. even though it doesn't own the Toronto Blue Jays or any other sports teams.

Thanks
