Q: BCE has dropped in value significantly. Heavy debt load is putting pressure on sustainability of dividend growth and people are talking about a dividend cut.

Q: Your opinion please regarding portfolio construction. Better to add to an existing position in X.TO to bring it from 3% to 4%, or better to initiate a 1% position in H.TO? Separately, which of these two is trading at a better valuation relative to their historical average?

Q: I hold the above in a taxable account focused on dividend income. I also hold FTS separately. Increasingly I believe that there will be increased demand for renewable power to drive AI, electric charging cars etc... Do you have any recommendations that are dividend payers that would play into this theme of increased power demand?
Would you add to or remove any of the above based upon company fundamentals?
Q: SUncor has suggested that once they reach 12B in debt that they will return 75% of free cash flow to shareholders. As a shareholder I like that.

Q: As an older investor, I am considering a gradual move from mostly individual stocks to a fully ETF portfolio. My thinking is to allow management simplicity for my wife in the event of my death or disability. Seeking dividends predominately but also a representation of growth. Can you please suggest an array (portfolio) of ETFs that I could begin migrating towards? As always, your advice is appreciated. thank you
Q: I have these ETF's in my portfolio, although they are a small percentage. I am wanting to do a clean up of most of my partial holdings in individual stocks and purchase more ETF's. I was going to add VIG as well. Could any of these ETF's be replaced with better ones or not bother with them, and what others do you suggest to compliment them for an income investor who wants to see a little growth as well in a well diverse portfolio? Thanks.
