Q: I would like to have a good REIT stock. Would you recommend buying BPY? Or do you prefer other REIT stocks?
I read the company did some buy backs last quarter. Do you see the stock bouncing back in 2020?

Thank you

Q: Q: Hello Gentlemen,
I hold 5.8% of TRP and 4.2% of ENB in my portfolios. Long term TRP has underperformed both PPL and ENB. I consider selling half of TRP (in RIFF) and use the proceeds to take a position in PPL.
Your opinion please.
Thank you,
Werner

Q: Hi 5i Team:

Good day!

I am owning the above 4 stocks with a total less than 4.5%. The largest one is ENB. Instead of putting my cash (more than 10% of my portfolio) I wonder if I should buy more of some of these 4 stocks to earn dividend. I realize the stock may go up/down. My current holdings are well diversified, and having a good gain. I don't want to add more, or until I sell any of the current ones.

Your opinions and recommendations please.

There are more than one stock in my question, please take as many points as you need to.

Thank you.

Q: Hello: Back in 2015, I purchased a number of shares in IPL for approximately $25.00. Now they seem to be sitting at about $22.00 and there has been no significant changes for some time. Although the dividend is ok, I realize it has to be based on my purchase price, so isn't really 7+ %. I had hoped the price would increase with the recent pipline news, but it didn't. Back in 2015, these shares were considered a strong buy. How would you rate them Now?

Q: I am following up on a question asked by Gary on December 6, 2019.

I am also looking to find an international dividend growing ETF similar to VIGI. I am not looking for high dividends per se. I do not like many of the international dividend ETFs due to their often high exposure to financials (IGRO would fit in this category).

IQD looks promising, and its methodology appeals to me. I would appreciate your advice about the pros and cons of this fund, and why you gave it only a very tepid recommendation.

What are your top dividend growing ETFs, regardless of whether they are Canadian or US ETFs. Per your previous answers, I understand your top two choices are VIGI and IGRO. Do you have any others?

Thank you again for your insightful advice.

Q: Hello,

I would appreciate your analysis of Brookfield Property Partners earnings announcement. I see that they have raised the quarterly dividend but by only a very MARGINAL amount. Dividend increases in each of the preceding 5 years averaged over 5% but this increase is less than 1%. Might that imply that management may be worried about the sustainability of the current dividend?
