Investment Q&A

Q: What is your opinion of the management team at AQN? Do they have a strong enough team to orchestrate a turnaround of their fortunes? Is this a hold or sell?

Q: What are the best Dividend stocks to hold for under 100$ a share? thank you, all the best.

Q: I need to sell one of these or half of each. What is your opinion?
Diversification is not an issue.

Q: I'm not sure if you planned to take in the conference call today or not. RBC put out a one-pager on what Mgmt planned to do, which included a 40% cut to their dividend (creating a new yield of 6%).

Q#1 = As a result of Mgmt's plans going forward, what are your thoughts on AQN now?

I am fortunate that I bought AQN years ago at $5.60 (held in RRSP) and have trimmed (for asset allocation reasons) several times on the way up...as high as $21.10. However I do confess I added recently at $14.75. I still have some funds ready to top-up, but I am on hold for now...just watching.

Q#2 = would you add, hold or sell at this time?

Q#3 = my personal speculation is that AQN will probably just hang around the $9-10 range for a while. My hope is that a potential buyer will show up and take them out. In a November question, you thought the take-over chance was around 25%. With this new information in hand, do you have a new percent chance that they will be bought out?

Q#4 = if AQN does get taken out, would the usual ballpark premium of 30% apply? This would entice me to hang around for awhile.

Thanks...much appreciated.

Q: Can you comment on your current outlook/prospects for Paramount Energy

Q: what is your opinion of AQN going forward long-term now that they have cut their dividend?

Q: Could you do an update (only 1 question and it was 2021? Now approaching CAD$0.5B, strong earnings, low debt, pays a dividend, in good assets in CAD, interesting opportunities in North Sea - a UK company but listed on TSX.V. In particular, to what would you attribute its lackluster performance in the last year? Thx.

Q: Gear Energy has a juicy dividend of 11% but is it sustainable? And what are it's growth prospects overall.

Q: Please your take on this company.With such a high ownership percentage is there a chance of going private?taken over?
Would you buy it here?
Can you mention 5 stocks as a possible take over candidate?

Q: BEPC has been a favorite of yours for a long time. I bought it more towards the highs a couple years ago when there was so much talk about renewables from the Biden administration and everyone was piling into renewables. Since then this stock has gone down and it was your favorite two years ago at all time highs and now around 20 dollars off its high it is still a top dividend pick. I also averaged down on it based on how favorable you spoke about this company but I have still not broken even. My question is in what environment would you see this stock doing well again? What would be a catalyst for this stock performing well and why is it still a top dividend pick? Does it represent value at this price and could you please comment on the profitability of this company. Thank you!

Q: I've held BNS for 7 years now, and it's barely moved in that time. What is your rationale on continuing to hold this bank in the BE profile? At what point would you consider a switch?

Q: Good Morning and Happy New Year

I have a few different accounts and I am very well diversified with dividend payers across the board assuming it was one big account. I will be getting one more registered account where contributions will be small and it will not have a lot of funds. I am going to treat this account as if it was on its own. Right now all I have in it is ZDV. I know it is hard to be diversified with only 4 holdings but if I were only to hold 4 stocks in this account what 3 others would you recommend to go with ZDV? I would like to have all 4 paying a dividend as well.

Thanks

Q: These are my current holdings and I am looking forward to 2023. They are held in relatively the same quantities in 5 different accounts, a RRIF, 2 TFSA's and 2 Non registered accounts. I am retired an enjoy the income. Do you see any issues with these holdings or have any suggestions looking forward. The only non dividend holding is AR.
Take any extra credits as necessary. Thank you in advance. Enjoy and appreciate 5i'S help. Happy New Year.
