Q: I have just sold all our shares in SPB:CA despite the high dividend. It has been languishing for too long and I'm sure there is a better investment somewhere in the energy industry.
It was our only stock in the energy industry and we should replace like for like.
What are your best suggestions for the next 3-5 years for total ROI in a RIF?

Q: Hi 5i,
I have owned Verizon for some time. Although the dividend has been solid and I am up over purchase I'm wondering if you think there might be another better alternative at this time? My Cdn. content is at suggested levels so maybe a US or International option.? Whatever you think.
Thanks again,
Ralph

Q: I never thought I would be contemplating whether or not to continue to hold these “sleep at night stocks” but here we are. I have no doubt they will recover but in what timeframe? I am particularly concerned about TD. I believe regulators are going to set an example. I am 75 years old and time is at a premium. Please give me some guidance.

Q: I always like following the Form 13F SEC disclosures in the USA made by major investors. One of the guys I follow is Stanley Druckenmiller (Duquesne Family Office). I note that he has recently taken a new position in Kinder Morgan. Can I have your thoughts on this name for a new buy? Thank you,

Q: Hello 5i,
I recently came across CCA in one of your latest screenings. I need to add about 1% to the Communications sector and already hold BCE (RRSP) and T (TFSA) as pretty much full positions - at least if they stop being 25 - 30% under water!!
With the 6% yield on CCA (and the last question asked in January), I was wondering if you had any updated thoughts on adding this one to an RRSP, soon to be RRIF, for retired, conservative, income-oriented investors OR would you just add to either BCE and/or T, or go with a new position in Rogers or perhaps VZ:US?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have received a offer from SES to purchase shares between $11.40 and $13. The position I have is part of a diversified portfolio in my TFSA and I am up 90% at current prices and have really enjoyed the growing dividend. I am tempted to sell 1/3 of my position at the higher range of the offer to take some money off the table.

What are your current thoughts on SES as a company, its assets and market position?

What do you think of the offer given the current market price and this point in the cycle?

Thanks for the great service!

Colin
