Q: Hello 5i team,
To complement her RRSP portfolio, my wife has opened a TFSA; her time horizon is 5+ years. I chose for her stocks with some yield and some growth: BLX, DH, ET, FRU and WSP. Your income portfolio holds 3 of those; do you have any major issue with the other 2?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: We are retired with no company pension and depend heavily on dividends to augment our income. Our investments are Banks-22%, Industry-15%, Oil-20%, Pipelines-12% Utilities-15%, Telcom and Reits-9.5%, Cash-6.5%. I'm interested in adding another utility for stability and income. We now have positions in BEP.UN, EMA, NPI, VSN. Should we simply add to these, or add one of FTS, CPX, INE, CU, or do you have another suggestion?
Q: This question was too long to publish, but related to the fact that investors, according to some, should own NO bonds due to higher risk levels due to potentially rising rates.
Q: I have three questions:
Tricon (tcn)doesn't seem to excite investors these days despite being a regular top pick on BNN. Do you think it's flatlining after a good run and what do you see three years from now?
What do you think of Spartan Energy (spe) at the $3.85 level for a three year investment?
Finally, you selected Interpipeline (ipl) as your last pick from a group of four when replying to another question today. I had held this stock since March of 2009 and it seems to be growing steadily and raising it's dividends. May I ask why it ranks behind Enbridge (enb), Altagas (ala) and Pembina (ppl)?
Thanks.

Q: How do you figure out if a company is earning enough to pay its dividend? Is the earnings per share value after the dividend is paid out? I am not talking about a oil/gas stock but just a regular equity. STB specifically.
Q: Iwas wondering what you thought of Rogers RCI.B ,as it is near low for last 12 months,would you consider this a good buying opportunity?
Q: Hi
I was wondering if I should sell IPL in my rrsp to buy VNR.
IPL has done very well over the past year. VNR has a higher dividend but is actually down over the past year.
Which do you think would have the greatest upside over the next 3 years?
Thankyou!

Q: PMO005....Pimco Monthly Income... I had this transferred in from my wife's "fired" advisor account. Is it worth keeping? and,if not, could you suggest an ETF. Very hard to find any info on this product. Thank You Ron
Q: This isn't a question, but a suggestion to those who are looking for much higher yield than treasury bills and government bonds with many of them trading at very low risk. The preferred side of split shares. There are several of them yielding anywhere from 4 to 6%. They are redeemable anywhere from one year to 6 years with a downside protection up to 100 % or more. Liquidity however is an issue with some of them. You just have to be selective.
Q: Good afternoon...I have $100,000 that I keep in cash and will not need to touch for 1 to 1.5 years...ideally would like make some interest/income....I would not want risk but will to take conservative risk....what options would you recommend...I have other investments full invested in the market...
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i: Exchange Income Corp (EIF) – It is difficult for investors to size up these negative/”short’s” reports. Many people will remember Muddy Waters’ report on Sino Forest and the subsequent disintegration of that company.
About 2 years ago Prescience Group issued a report on Student Transportation (STB), claiming that the company was effectively a Ponzi scheme, that the dividend was unsustainable, and that the intrinsic value of the stock was about $2 per share. STB dropped from 7.38 to $5.71 (intraday levels) in a little more than a week, largely on the strength of the report. Since then $5.71 has become the 2.5-year low for STB, which has made its “unsustainable dividend” payments, without reduction or interruption, for 24 consecutive months. STB shares have spent most of the past year on an upward trend between $6 and $7, although they have popped above the $7 level on a couple of occasions. The dividend yield with STB at $7 is still nearly 8%. Not bad for a stock that was supposedly worth a toonie a share!
So back to EIF, here we go again. What are we to make of Veritas Research’s disembowelling of EIF? Does this put the company’s recent management “expansion” and reshuffling in a different light? Would you be significantly concerned about EIF’s convertible debentures (especially the G series, which you seemed positive on in a previous comment)? Thanks!
