Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi,
The only financial stock I own right now is bns. I want to add one more while they’re all still down a bit. Would you prefer ecn, slf or gsy (would you even count this as a financial)? Or is there a better financial to add?

Also, what are your favorit 1-2 for consumer cyclical and discretionary?

Thanks! This probably counts as 2 questions.

Q: I'm down 15 percent with ENB and 20 percent with RUF.UN. To maintain the same spaces for long term holding and for tax loss purpose, is it advisable to trade ENB for TRP and RUF.UN for CAR.UN?
Thanks.

Q: hi
Joe asked about your top ten juicy dividend payers. Some are barely in the 3% zone.
Are you preferring these because of safety? Growth?
Are the higher yields from the names I listed at risk of cuts? There are quite a few out there yielding 5% +
Thoughts on these higher yield names?
Thank you!!

Q: Hello Peter.
How does an investor know he/she is a shrewd investor or a Sucker(buy from another investor who gets the price direction right)? It is starting to feel like Holders of our prime Canadian income investments have sucker written on our forehead.

The question here for me is how to create an investment portfolio that gains from where the capital is going instead of holding investments seeing capital retreating. The current reset of Income stock prices has been quite stunning; ENB down 14% since Jan 4.
It would be great to buy ENB with a 6% Dividend......But is it the same company everyone thinks of from days gone by or has it changed and without investor positive sentiment and a stronger US$ .......it will continue to be burdened by debt and a lowering stock price?
In a diversified Portfolio holdings include income investments. But just because an investor is interested in the income stream, does not make it right to watch the capital value decline everyday.

What is it that makes buying ENB okay at $50 and then as it declined all the way to today's price of $43.11?
It kinda feels like a roll of the dice to bet on a higher price for ENB at this point in time.
What is it that makes buying ENB a shrewd investment at today's price and in the current market environment?

Thanks for the thoughtful answers in the Q&A.

(this question could have just as easily been about ALA, IPL, PPL, FTS or EMA)
