Q: I would like your opinion from the perspective of regular income, and if you would consider an appropriate investment for retiree, likely in non-reg account. Feel free to make an alternative recommendation if not considered appropriate and maybe more fad like. Thanks

Q: hi folks, can you please comment on the update given by Surge energy sgy/t....$37M asset sale, paydown in debt, etc.....would U view as positive???, & rate as Buy/Hold/Sell.....stock has been a real laggard for me....thx as always, jb

Q: Retired, dividend income investor. From a value point of view, which has more rebound potential....FTS or ZUT? Ya, I know...single company vs ETF, so tough to compare. I own both and have mostly full positions, with a top up in mind for both. Just wondering which one to do first...I am leaning towards ZUT.

When I look at the charts over various timeframes, it looks to my amateur eyes, that ZUT is much more closely tied to interest rate changes. It looks like ZUT started to really take it on the chin during 2022 when interest rates were being cranked up. Also, I am hearing/reading that the worst might be over for the renewables and they might start to rebound...which would benefit ZUT (for the record, I am overweight Eric's NNRG, so I have that end of the Utility-Energy spectrum covered).

Your thoughts?

Q: what did you make of bns quarterlies? This stock has been a laggard for over 10 years and dividend increase yearly does not even keep up with inflation. They usually increase dividend this quarter [albeit very small] but this quarter have kept dividend the same . I realize they pay a 6.5% dividend but as a shareholder you would like to
see a rising dividend yearly especially if price has done nothing for years. What do you
think as a dividend investor.

Q: Today, Monday, May 27, 2024 the approx. price for TOU is $67.21 CAD.
In your opinion is it currently trading at fair value, expensive, cheap?
What would be your estimate of a fair value price and what valuation metric are you using to determine this?

Q: I have some cash in my RRSP to invest for a long-term hold. My primary goal for these funds is to add income from a higher dividend-paying, large and stable company. I’d also like some upside on capital appreciation although not the primary focus. I’m looking at these companies and I’m open to other suggestions.

Could you please rank these by the potential to increase the dividend over time?

Could you separately rank by potential capital appreciation?

Finally rank by stock price volatility

Much appreciated

Q: With the recent decline in food and beverage revenue in the first quarter and the expectation of further weakness in the second quarter in this segment is it time to sell RPI?

Thank you

Q: We are very disappointed in Decisive Dividend. I bought it in the $8 range and it performed beautifully to well over $11 so I had a really nice capital gain but was too stupid to take the gain while I could. I am used to buy and hold forever stocks so not am used to ones that need to be traded. Now drifting lower and lower. What happened? I believe it has lots of cash available and I expected it to keep growing. Your suggestion please... just sell and take the small loss or keep it in hopes of the price going up again.
Thank you............ Paul K

Q: In my TFSA,I have the DRIP turned on.My plan is to have ,half a dozen or so companies or ETF'S which lend themselves well to the DRIP account for the next 4 years, wanting conservative growth.
I currently have FIE,PZA AND EIF.
Are you comfortable with these holdings,and suggest some other names? Thankyou

Q: I hold XLB in my RRSP. What do you think of swapping the XLB for BEP.UN?

Can you address the answer in various interest rate directions please?

( Between BIP.UN in the RRSP and the BN and BAM outside, I already have 10% exposure to the group. Doing the trade would have me bumping 15%. )

Thank You

Q: Do you recommend holding Enerplus until the close of the deal ? Are there restrictions on ERF insiders and employees on selling their CHRD shares as soon as the deal closes ? If I do not stick with CHRD, I would like to keep these funds in O&G. What are your favorites in this sector. I own WCP, CPG, TOU and the pipelines. ERF is currently held in a TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i, I own Enerplus but do not want the CHRD shares there is a special dividend to be paid payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2024 . The ex-dividend date for this payment will be May 30, 2024 . The Special Dividend is intended to equalize the amount of quarterly. The transaction of the takeover is I think May 31/24. Would I be able to sell my shares May 30/24 and still qualify for the special dividend?

Q: Today c;losed at $28.75,touched 1yr low of $28.60.Please comment.Add,Hold or Sell.Txs for U usual great services & views
