Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am looking for safe dividends and believe all of these companies meet that criteria (although recognizing that nothing is for sure these days). I would like to buy 2 companies. Which 2 would you pick from this list?

Q: After the BIP.UN spinoff I now own shares of both of these. For simplicity, I only want to hold one. Selling BIP.UN and buying BIPC in non-registered account will have tax consequences so, on the surface, it seems I should sell BIPC and buy more BIP.UN. Do you see any reason in a long term hold to own one vs the other?

Q: you recently ranked XEI more highly than CDZ. Could you offer a comparison between the 2? I have read elsewhere that CDZ, which I own, holds too many high yield/high risk
stocks. Would substituting XEI address that, or would it create its own issues?

Thanks

Q: Hi,
I read the Globe & Mail interview with Al Monaco this weekend and he makes no secret of the fact that Enbridge is on the hunt for an acquisition, or maybe more than one. The Spectra deal shows that he's not afraid to go big. With that in mind, could you identify some companies that might make suitable targets for Enbridge and, specifically, would Keyera belong on the list?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: There was a restructuring of Loblaws/G Weston back a while ago - can you please explain the changes. I held L and received WN shares. Can you please also direct me to the details for calculating ACB related to this. On a related note, what are the prospects for WN in the current environment - should I top up my WN or sell and buy more L?
Thank you.
