Investment Q&A

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

Q: My 36 yr old daughter has a current portfolio of $150k in RSPs and her TFSA. She is interested in enrolling in 6 true company DRIPs that she would start with approximately $5,000 each and contribute to over time. Her intent would be to keep these shares to ultimately use the dividends for retirement income in 20-30 years. In the meantime, the dividend tax credit would be useful offsetting the income earned. Is this a good strategy and if so can you suggest 6-8 companies that she might consider for this purpose? Thank you for your help. Jim

Q: Good afternoon,
I hold the following stocks in my business account that have a weight of between 6.2% and 8.3%. This account was started in DEC/16 and has increased by 6.7% YTD not including dividends. I want to add six more stocks to further diversify while reducing the percentage per equity down to between 4 and 5%.

My goal is to generate income equal to the amount of corporate tax payable annually. I looks like this can be achievable!

Let me know if I need to share dollar values to help access.

Thanks,
Raymond

Q: I am becoming interested in Enbridge as it gets close to 50 dollars. I was trying to find the payout ratio and I found it on a site it was paying out 102%. Is this correct? I find this hard to believe as everyone like to recommend this stock which would not wise if it cant cover dividend. Where do I find accurate pay out ratios?

I would like to keep it to no more than 10 names at approx 10K each, so far I have come up with BNS, CM, ENB, TRP,BCE,FTS,NWC, T, ALA,SLF. Do you have any concerns or suggested additions.

Q: I know these iShares ETFs were just released, but wondering if you were able to form an opinion on these based on its current holdings. The MER seems quite reasonable and am wondering you feel these would be suitable to gain diversification outside of Canada.

Thank you!
