Q: Hi,
Would you please give me your opinion on Carfinco vs Rifco.
Carfinco announced a new aquisition in the U.S., which means they are expanding but in the U.S., and we all know the hazards of that, ie: Tim Hortens ect. Is this a game changer for CFN.TO or a wait and see while I hold on to my Rifco.
Many thanks for the great service, it sure beats standing at the window taliking to myself!

Q: Hi Peter and the 5I Team
Could I please have your opinion on VNR. It can come down lately and pays a good dividend. Is the current dividend safe?

Description from website:
The Limited Duration Investment Grade Preferred Securities Fund’s investment objectives are to provide shareholders with: (i) a stable stream of monthly distributions; (ii) to preserve the net asset value (“NAV”) per Unit; and (iii) to reduce the risk of rising interest rates by managing Portfolio duration.

The Fund will invest at least 80% of the Total Assets in preferred securities (including hybrid securities), at least 80% of the Total Assets in Investment Grade securities and 100% of the Total Assets in U.S. dollar denominated securities.
“Investment Grade” refers to a security / issuer, which, at the time of purchase, has at least one of the following ratings: (i) at least BBB- by S&P; (ii) at least Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc.; (iii) at least BBB- by Fitch Ratings, Inc.; or (iv) the equivalent rating by another “approved rating organization” as defined in NI 81-102

Q: I am considering buying Davis & Henderson DH for my RRIF because of its 4.89% dividend but I am weary as I see it's payout ratio is 103.51% while the industry average is 79.76%. Is there something I am overlooking? Thanks, Bill
Q: Peter; Could you update your opinion on ENF and would you add to it at these levels? Thanks.Rod
Q: EEP-N: Largest liquid oil pipeline in the US in which Enbridge is a stakeholder. It has a fairly large yield of over 7% and dividends have been slowly increasing over years. Although this co. is not high growth, would this be a good holding in a RRSP. Do you see any valuation risk or stagnant/lowered divided in the next 5 years?
Q: For the fixed income portion of my US holdings would stocks like MTGE, AGNC, NLY, HTS and CMO be appropriate. They all have high yields. Or does the downside risk on their share prices when interest rates increase make this an unwise investment plan?
If so, what would make more sense?
Thank you.

Q: Good Morning Peter,
Would it be possible for your team to recommend three or four stocks that pay high, safe, and growing dividends (at least 7%), and positive growth going forward? Or am I just spitting into the wind? In my income portfolio I already own BCE, CPG, DR, ECI, ERF, LW, STB, VSN with an average dividend payout of 8.07% (many of these stocks long-term holds since 2009). And in my wife's portfolio, she owns AQN, BNS, MBT, NFI, PKI, PPL, RSI, ZRE. We have a couple of $50,000 GIC's coming due this month that have been paying 4.35% for the past five years and need to re-deploy these funds.
Thanks!

Q: Thanks for your update on CGX. I am curious to know whether ticket sales from Events like Live From the Met, Bolshoi Ballet and National Theatre make a bottom line contribution to CGX. These performances probably raise the average ticket price but I am curious whether they are stand alone profitable as they are frequently sold out. Interested in your thoughts.

Q: Good morning team, I have been paging through the income and dividend questions. I am looking to make a substantial purchase in my TFSA and I am looking for your top 3 or 4 dividend paying companies. I would be interested in DRIPS as well but not absolute. Thanks again and have a great long weekend!
