Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: You consistently state that Enbridge is one of your favorites. Why? In light of the current anti-carbon sentiment of the general public and current sadsack government I am seriously considering selling. Sure the dividend is great, but in 5 years the stock price has declined from $60 to $40. What could possibly happen to have the price appreciate back up to the $60 level?

Q: I sold SIA a month ago, mainly for tax loss purposes. I can buy it again at roughly the same price, my thesis being that all the bad news is out, so it should not go down much further. My main question is: is the dividend fully funded, i.e. should we expect a cut in the future? This is for an income portfolio. Thanks.

Q: Hi, what are your views on CYH please? Do you feel it’s underlying holdings are secure enough and that the existing distribution can be maintained? Also, do you feel the underlying holdings are earning the amount of the distribution or is it possible the fund is paying above the collective distributions of the underlying securities as in other Blackrock funds? Are there other global Dividend C$ hedged alternatives that could also be considered? Thanks.

Q: I'm looking for guidance and advice on BAM.
Being a long time (15yr+) holder of the security, I love the company and the management. I truly believe they are fantastic investors. BAM represents a number 3 position in my portfolio.

I fear that post covid, and after many, many companies got their first real taste of WFH on a large scale, the commercial real estate market is in trouble.

Looking to feel comfortable not selling into this fear, as I really do value the company in high regard. I just fear we have seen the peak already, at least for an extended period.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
J.

Q: Teal Linde was on Market Call yesterday and he said that the canadian utilities like Algonquin have used their clean balance sheets to leverage and buy up US utilities over the past decade (since the 2008 crisis). He said that is mostly played out now and growth will be much more challenging. I suspect this may have played a part in aqn's weakness the past two days. More important: is there much growth left in AQN's future?? I have bought a variety of income stocks that have good growth prospects (for both cash flow and dividends), and benefitted greatly. One of them has been
AQN...but is that run over?

Q: Hello 5i, I’ve invested a portion of my grandmother’s TFSA in CDZ looking for a decent diversified relatively low risk dividend (to be reinvested) payer, which I’ve seen recommended on here a few times. I was on morning star and I came across those two funds which seems to have outperformed despite their similarities and higher MER. Could you please explain the fundamental differences between the three and rank them from best to worst for a 5 year horizon according to your opinion? I wasn’t able to access the complete funds’ holding details. Thank you!!

Q: Continuing our discussion on these two companies BIPC trades at a much lower PE 12.4 versus 170.8, had lower P/B 1.4 versus 2.5 and also has higher momentum short term- doesn’t this make for a compelling buy for BIPC versus BIP.UN. Very confusing situation created by Brookfield.
