Q: Hello to all of you at 5i,
I'm debating whether to buy shares of Borg Warner so as to diversify outside of North America or make a move on Magna for almost the same reason given it does a lot of business in Europe. Which one do you see as having the better prospects? Thanks in advance.
Robert
Q: What's your opinion on 5% drop today and the following newswire? Is EIF still a good buy?

Q: With the prospect of interest rates rising in the very near future, is it time to lighten up on Reits?
Do you feel that there is much more upside in NFI and PBH stocks from their current values?
As always,thanks for your advice.
Q: Hi, could you please rank these 6% plus income stocks purely in terms of relative security of the dividend. Any that you feel might little too risky for a conservative retired investor. Thanks.
Q: Another 52 week low for DR. It appears that thhe payout ratio is well over 100%, or is this dividend one to look at from cash flow? Do you still think it is worth holding as an income stock? Perhaps adding to?
Q: Are there any reasons to buy bond ETF now ? They almost certainly will go down in the next few months. For the fixed income part of the portfolio is it not better, at this time, to simply stay with GIC ?
Q: Brookfield Renewable, and all the other utilities, have been dropping fast since the Bank of Canada decided it wanted to raise rates. Is this an area we should now be avoiding, or is the sector overreacting to what is likely a minor rate hike? What % of a somewhat conservative portfolio should be in utilities?
Q: Sites classify XHY as Fixed Income and at the same time, show "distributions as dividend yield. Is the XHY "distribution" interest income or dividends for Canadian tax purposes? And if dividends, are the amounts eligible for Canadian tax credit?.....Thanks for the clarifications....Tom
I'm currently putting together my RRSP income portfolio.
My plans are to invest approx 50% stock or Stock-ETF and 50% secured.
At the moment 50% secured is in GICs.
I have 30% stock exposure now. ENB-BNS-EMA-BCE-SRU-ECI about 5% in each position.
I'm looking for ideas to diversify my last 20%.
It has taken me 6 months to put this together.
Q: Thank you for your prompt reply to my question re PKI,AD.
I should have also asked that if you did not favour AD then could you recommend something else that has a decent yield and some positive movement in the near term.
Many thanks
Q: What can you tell me about Purpose BND? In your eyes, is this a good way to get some fixed income exposure? Would this be good along with CBO & XHY?
Thanks so much,
Greg.
Q: Hi, I am thinking about taking some profits from PKI and adding to my position in AD. This will lower my average cost,and increase the dividend I receive, but mainly I would hope to catch some of the upside momentum the stock has shown lately.
So really the question is, do you see the positive upside movement to continue. Many thanks
Q: I realize that the companies mentioned are not equal size but how would you rank them in terms of growth profile for the next 5 years from 1 to 10. 1 is lowest and 10 highest. Thanks
Q: I apologies; I mis-phrased my question. The DRIP investments would be in addition to the TFSA and RSP investments (in different securities). As I understand things, a DRIP with a company sponsored plan such as TRP thru Computershare cannot be held inside a registered account. Is this correct? If so the $5k position in the non-registered (DRIP) account would not amount to a $25k per stock concentration and I believe the dividend tax credit would be useful since the account is non-registered. Thank you for your suggestions and service. I like your suggestions but a little surprised that a utility such as FTS was not recommended. Is there a reason you would not suggest a utility DRIP for a long term hold? Jim.
Q: Do you expect ZWU to fall substantially with a Cdn rate hike? Would you move out of utilities into something else that would perform better with rising rates?
Q: I have positions in bep.un,aqn,fts, and rnw. I am considering switching my small position in rnw for npi. Which has the better growth profile and safety for a 2 to 3 year hold and would you recommend this move? Thanx.
