Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is there any issue with potentially doubling up on dividends in any one month? If an investor times it right, you could purchase a stock that pays quarterly just before the x date and then sell it after the record date. You could then purchase another dividend payer before its X date and assuming this all happens in the same month you would collect two dividends in the next month from two different companies-do you see any flaws in this strategy?

Q: Based on the information I'm getting from various sources, it seems to me that it's time rearrange my portfolio to reflect the possibility of a recession in the near future. Based on that premise, I've decided to buy the 'best of the best' dividend and dividend increasing companies in Canada. I would appreciate it if you would suggest the absolute best quality companies Canada has to offer an investor in the so called "more conservative" sectors. I'm thinking sectors like pipelines, utilities, telcos but I'm open to other sectors/companies you think will hold up well in a recession. I'm looking for at least 6-8 companies that you believe would fit these criteria. Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: These two companies will be sold in my RRSP (Valener) and Cash (Crius) accounts. I have held these stocks as income producers. What would be good replacement stock(s) for these when they are sold. For Crius, if you could, give me 4 or 5 stocks that could replace it for income. My portfolio is well diversified and I am looking for a 4-6% dividend paying stock. Thanks, as always, for the guidance.

Q: You briefly answered a question today about how a Hauwei ban in Canada might affect Telus ("equipment replacement"). Can you expand on this and provide more colour on the effects of such a ban on Telus (eg would you expect this to cause a drop in Telus share price)? Related to that, the effects on BCE and RCI.b relative to Telus (ie which of the three will fare the best)? Thx!!
