Q: Hello 5i team. I've noted that a number of typical 'dividend stocks' seem to have haled their downward momentum and are up the past few days ... e.g., AQN, BCE, CPX, NPI. Is it premature to buy back into some of these? Also noted that 10-year treasuries have pulled back from their flirtation with the 3.00% level and were at 2.78% today.

Keep up the excellent work you're doing for your subscribers.
Tom

Q: Used to own KBL and sold it way too soon. Am looking at getting back in but I am wondering what the prospects are for dividend growth. There has been next to no increase in the dividend in the past 5 years. While the share price has shown good growth the past few years is there much upside left.

Q: We currently hold RBC Global Corporate Bond Fund. Could you advise me if this would be considered still a safe investment and should we be keeping it.

Thank you

Q: The Altagas (ALA) purchase of 25% of Petrogas sounds good, except how do we determine whether the price was reasonable? The news release indicates it will be accretive to earnings and cash flow per share, but doesn't give a timeline. Any thoughts on the merits of the purchase, or is it a case of wait and see. I hold a 3% position from a purchase several years ago and will continue to hold, but would purchase more if the deal appears to be particularly good from the ALA view.

Q: I am wondering why BCE.PR.A & BCE.PR.C preferred shares are experiencing such a price decline. According to BCE's web site,
their annual dividend is 3.45% & 3.55%, guaranteed to Sept 2017 & March 2018 respectively. On those dates the shares then may be converted to floating rate preferred shares. Do you have any explanation as to why the share prices have been in a steep decline since April of this year. Thanks ... Cal

Q: Hi Team,

A would appreciate your opinion regarding 2 companies for some growth and dividends that should grow over time.

I'm thinking of buying IPL.UN Interpipe) now that it's become a corp. What do you think of its future prospects and do you think it's a reasonable buy at the current price?

Davis and Henderson seems to be changing itself into a viable company. Do you agree and is it a buy at current prices?

THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE!

Q: I'm looking at allocating 10% of my overall portfolio to variable income securities that provide some inflation protection and decent fixed income returns. I was looking at ZPR and ZRE etfs as candidates - splitting them evenly at 5% a piece. I know ZPR has rate reset preferred shares which should provide some protection and ZRE seems oversold. Also, would I be better off buying HR.UN instead of ZRE because it holds longer term low interest rate debt than some of the REITS held in ZRE? Your comments please.

Q: AFN? You seem high on this company even though it sells at a huge multiple to EPS and cash flow. Cash flow barely covers dividend right now and ROE is a single digit-so, to me, it appears way ahead of the fundamentals. Why would I buy this stock??

Q: I wonder if your view of RNW as an income stock has changed in the past month. Compared to AQN, FTS, BEP.UN and CSE, it has held its value while the others have lost 2-7%. It pays a healthy monthly dividend with a decent payout ratio and its power contracts are reasonably long term and I understand protected from inflation. Other than it is new, is there really anything to dislike. Thanks.
