Investment Q&A

Q: Could you provide me with 5 Dividend {Non Financials} paying Companies for a long term hold {3+ Years}.

Q: Hi team, Has your outlook on Linamar shifted since the US election? Do you still see a medium or long term upside? I am about 35% down and concerned that it really might not come back. Thanks!

Q: Please comment on Corby's most recent quarter. Does the Trump anti-trade stance affect Corby's any more than other stocks?
Also, they have paid special dividends in the past, do you foresee the likelihood of a special dividend in 2017?
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Roger's Sugar has pulled back about 10% from its high in Sept. Does this seem like a good entry point with a yield of ~ 6%. Is the outlook for sugar pricing positive at this time? Many Thanks for a great service. Don

Q: Hi, ENB and BIP make up up 16% of my equity portfolio (8% each), plus I own BAM at 4%. I've been considering a trim but they've been the stalwarts of my portfolio and I've been skeptical of a big inflation/interest rate increase. Now, with talk of Trump's inflationary fiscal policy, do you think it's time to reduce these stocks? or do you feel the benefit of infrastructure spending will offset the negative effects of rate increases on these stocks?
Thanks.

Q: I would like to increase my holdings in pipeline stocks. My interest is a combination of dividends and capital gains. Which of the following would give the me the largest return over a 3 + year period - ALA, ENB, IPL, or PPL. My only current pipeline holding is TRP.

Q: Is it a good time to buy above stocks for RRSP?I appreciate your order of preference.Thank you.Ebrahim

Q: I would like your opinion of rogers and shaw.Would you buy either both or neither? Would either one be a take over target? Thanx Robbie

Q: I am concerned about Chemtrade based on poor quarterly results, closing risk of Canexus takeover, high distribution ratio, lack of dividend growth. Subject to your comments on Chemtrade, I would look to replace it with Telus (T) or a consumer defensive stock. In the latter case, I would be looking for a dividend yield of at least 4%.

Q: ARC (Accountability Research Corporation, April 2016 report) noted a trend to reduced transparency in AQN's financial reporting, saying a number of relatively small items, previously reported separately, were now lumped into the "Other" category. Does 5i have any concerns about this relative to AQN results/forecast? Would appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Q: Could you comment on the plunge of renewables as RNW and AQN?

Q: I want to drop one of these from my portfolio. Which do you think I should keep (if either)? I have Fortis in another portfolio.

Q: With all the cord cutting going on and quite a few people moving to streaming services (google box etc) how would this effect the cable companies.
And is there any company we can profit from in the streaming business.

Q: Hi 5I
What happens if we do nothing in regards to DCI being sold? If we do nothing(not cast a vote either way-for or against the transaction)do we just receive cash value for shares held and not have shares transferred to the new company if it is approved by the voting shareholders?

Q: Given that this company had a couple of disastrous quarters last December and March, the last two quarters while not great have at least been profitable. What's your opinion of the results posted on Nov 4th and your estimate for share price recovery and the safety of the dividend.

Q: I believe RUS reported earnings. May I have your comments please.
Thank you

Q: JUST READ RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER. MAY I HAVE YOUR OPINION.

THANKS DONALD.

Q: Other than TransCanada. would Keystone's approval benefit Interpipeline, Pembina, Enbridge and Altagas and, of so, would it be significant. Who else would benefit?
Thanks.

Q: Please let me know if the following thesis is correct.
1. Interest Rate increases affect Utilities ( and they are likely to rise in the US )
2. Share prices of Cdn Utilities will likely be hit as US interest rates increase especially Enbridge and TRP which rely on massive loans for operations and expansion .
3. With this prospect , Enbridge sits in the model balanced portfolio because you feel it is one of the top utility companies, yet it ( and other pipelines ) will likely be taking a hit when these events occur .
4. I have a full position in this . Should I be be selling or keeping it through December .

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i
Thought I would ask Investor portfolio management and psychology/behaviour question.

As I watch my profits in companies like Emera drain away 2% per day ( down $5/share since August), I wonder what the statement to investors should be when the question comes up, why did we not get out seeing clearly this stock is in a down trend and with rates moving up, is going to be out of favour and see price declines?

Waiting for an annual dividend of $2 when in four months $5 of capital disappears, just does not make good math sense or a profitable stance.

In September this was a good investment. What are your thoughts on this today with debt high, rates moving and short sellers pointing at companies like this?

Should we not have been selling at $50 instead of holding at $45.....and watch the price tick lower?

As you can imagine, it is tough watching long term paper profits in REITs, Telcos and utilities drain away.

Would you please offer your thoughts on the emotions that arise in this situation and with the stated company and sectors?

Thanks
Dave
