Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've been watching this slide down over the past couple of months then some big volume to the downside. I haven't seen any news releases. I own a fair bit around $12.75. Can you give me your thoughts....buy more or bail? I'm using it as straight US income.
Thanks and you guys are doing a great job!

Q: I am helping my mom invest for her TFSA. Currently she holds equal weights of a perpetual Brookfield preferred, Altagas (ALA), ZEB, and WSP. She has enough cash to invest in 3-4 more positions. I want to add relatively conservative dividend stocks with some growth potential. I was thinking of CGX as one of them but am not sure if it is overvalued. what would you suggest for 3-4 stocks?

Q: Good Morning 5i team: I'm wondering if you can offer any info regarding the merits (or demerits) of holding US limited partnerships in a non-registered Cdn. account. Specifically, I am interested in BIP that trades on the NYSE. I'm wondering if these are disadvantaged in some way for Cdn. investors because of the tax implications. I know that I can buy BIP.UN (which I understand to be the same company) on the cdn. exchange but have some US cash that I would like to put to work if this isn't a bad idea. As well, your thoughts on this company would also be appreciated. Many thanks.

Q: I have recently renewed my membership for another year and thank you guys for helping to keep me on track in a complicated investing environment! My question - Could you please suggest half a dozen Canadian companies, in addition to the Canadian Banks, that pay a decent dividend and do at least 50% of their business in the United States. These companies must not be involved in the oil and gas industry and must not be headquartered in Alberta. Many thanks!

Q: I’m hoping to add to some positions in the next couple of months with summer-time volatility. About a year ago I started a long-term position in Altagas at about $45.75. I’m hoping to add about 50% more shares to fill out this holding, and – with ALA’s chart continuing to slope downwards, as well as the possibility of a U.S. interest rate increase in September – I picked a bid price of $35.86. Is it realistic to think ALA has a little more to go down or am I just getting too cute in the bid process?

Q: Peter, while I have several energy companies in my well-diversified portfolio, as well as some utilities, the only pipeline company I own is Enbridge (1% of total portfolio). With some cash to put to work, do you think that adding a second pipeline company makes sense - or perhaps just add to Enbridge. If so, which company would you suggest (for a 'forever' hold period)? Thanks, James

Q: Are there any other canadian blue chip stocks that have never had to cut their dividends. I bbelieve the canadian banks fit this bill but not the telcos. I think maybe SLF. as well from the insurers has not cut its divvy.

Thx Blake
