Q: Hi, would like to lighten up or sell two of these companies to raise cash. Which of these do you least like? I like dividends and good management ,but not fond of debt, as they always get hit harder in any down turn.
Thanks for your advise

Q: Could I get your take on Keyera - payout percentage, dividend sustainability, debt levels, industry positioning/competition and how tied-in to gas prices they might be. I am a retired, income-oriented investor, looking for something that has been beat up a bit and might be more apt to up than down further over the next few years(!).
Thanks

Q: I am retired and wish to structure a conservative portfolio consider the uncertainty of the economy. I favour banks (RY, TD), utilities (Fortis and Algonquin) and Telecoms (BCE and Telus), BrookMiled Asset Management, Brookfield Renewable and Brookfield Infrastructure Microsoft and Berkshire B.

I would lik´to have 40% in bonds and favourCLF, XBB, XSB and XSH. I would move from FTB even though it has a higher yield but a higher MER.

Your comment would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Donald

Q: I owned this one a fair bit ago and sold at $22.00 because it was not a huge dividend grower even though they do have special dividends from time to time. I was thinking of buying again at current price; however, concerned about business: know they have their own brands; but, licence agreements to distribute for other companies. How solid are these agreements? Of course, the other issue is trading volume - but, can live with that - buy a small position of 3 to 4K shs.

Q: Hello. Which of these do you prefer, and why? (Or do you prefer another large-cap Canadian oil company?) Can you tell me which has the strongest balance sheet, and the safest dividend? Also, I was going to buy them on a US exchange with US currency. I assume the dividend will be paid in US dollars, and I will still be eligible for the Canadian dividend tax credit, correct? Thanks for your help.

Q: I noticed that SU and ENB were mentioned by your team as safe in capital preservation and dividends. Some analysts do point out that ENB has a high debt and therefore they conclude it is not as safe. Is this correct ?. In terms of safety, and long term investment (at least 5 years) which one would you preffer ?
Would you allocate 5% to each in a conservative porfolio ?, or less than 5% ?,
thanks

Q: XMF.PR.B is a preferred split share fund from Quadravest. It invests solely in shares of Manulife . The fund sells at about $5.10 and pays a 7.3% dividend monthly. My understanding is that it has never missed paying the dividend in over 10 years. The fund guarantees to buy back your share at $5.00 on the anniversary date, which is December 1st 2024. It would appear to have bond like characteristics with a high payout. Your input would be appreciated.
