Q: Im a retiree in late 60's, focus on Income with a growth potential down the road.
Further to Nancy's question on Telus on its current dividend of about 8%+, and a free cash flow almost 2x of dividend, will this be a time to buy given that the interest rate is coming down, and the banks GIC is about half of this return. I have some idle cash looking for a steady return like GIC. Do u forsee any dividend cut ? Thanks again

Q: Looking for your views on this company. There have been periods of outperformance offset by periods of weakness over the past 10 years. Wondering if you think it might be ready to get back on track.
I am looking for companies like MFC where the negativity surrounding them fades away offering the opportunity for a rerate higher; any suggestions you might have for CDN companies in this position would be appreciated.

Q: I’m thinking of a trade with BCE stock. My thinking is even if management cuts the dividend by half I will be making 6% with the likelihood the stock price will go up what do you think of this trade. Also what do you think of the new asset Ziply and my understanding BCE is using funds from the sale of the sports teams to Roger’s so how bad is there balance sheet really?

Q: Can you suggest 5 or more Canadian dividend tax credit eligible companies that may be suitable for a long term leveraged account. Where the return on those assets could be expected to exceed the cost of borrowing over the long term and with a relative margin of safety.

Q: Good morning,

I can’t believe I am asking another question on BCE, but here we go.

The ~10% move lower over the last week….In your opinion is this year end tax loss selling capitulation, or do you think the market may be sensing a dividend cut?

Thanks as always and Happy Holidays.

Q: Interesting potential entry point below $35 CAD today. 11.4% yield usually a sign of a dividend cut in the near future. I know the company has communicated that it intends to maintain and not grow the dividend over the next year.

What’s your take on the risk to the share price of a dividend cut at current price levels? Ie. is it mostly priced in here at $35?

Q: I am a senior citizen now with a lower tolerance for risk and accepting of a lower rate of return on my investments for that. When interest rates increased, I invested in MM funds; now with rates going south, I am looking to get back into some more conservative stocks/ETF/Mutual funds with growth prospects.
Can you provide 5 stocks/ETF's you believe would fill this request. I am looking at Canadian but if there isa US one that makes sense, I would look at it.
As always, thanks for your advise.

Regards

Jim
