Q: Hi folks,
I am looking at topping up to a full position in either Telus, BCE or ENB. This will be in my TFSA account. Can you recommend one that not only will have some growth when interest rates peak but the dividend will remain intact as well.
Thanks
Q: I have been holding ENB and PPL for over 5 yrs. The dividends are great but the stocks are not going anywhere. Down 15%. Would like to sell one of them and buy IMO. Have full position on both of them. Which one should I sell?
Q: How material is today's Suncor news? : "Suncor Energy (TSX: SU) (NYSE: SU) announced today that it has agreed to purchase TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd., which holds a 31.23% working interest in the Fort Hills oil sands mining project (Fort Hills) for $1.468 billion". Will it have a positive effect on the stock? Thank you
Q: I am close to retiring and have all registered accounts maxed out, but have $200K of non-registered funds to invest, and wondering what recommendation would be. I am leaning for simplicity to spread across a few ETFs to get some balance of growth and dividends. Thoughts/recommendations.
Q: I haven't been following the market too much for several months and was shocked to see that AQN has fallen dramatically (from about $10 to $8 in one month). I don't see much news or questions on AQN. Any insight into why there has been such a dramatic drop?
Q: As a follow up to my question on natural gas suppliers please provide what the information is that you find interesting about Peyto.
Also would you be able to direct me to a site that I might find 5 yr. history of a companies ROE, ROA and ROC.
Thanks again
Les
Q: The dividend on ENBR is over 8%. What is the likelihood (probability estimate) of the dividend being cut? Is this an issue that should result in a sale, hold or buy? A dividend rate this high often signals an issue and reason to sell.
We all know that dividend pay dates are a matter of record. My question concerns delays in receiving these dividends. For example, some companies make their payable dates on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Holiday. TD Bank is a prime example of this & often has a payable date on a Saturday. As a result, you are lucky if the dividend shows up in your account on the Monday, many times later. Also, some companies declare an extra or Special dividend, normally payable on the same date as the regular dividend. INSW is a perfect example of this, with the regular dividend showing up a day after the payable date & the extra won't be in my account for a week??! It is pretty obvious that someone is making money on the FLOAT - don't know if it is the Company issuing the dividend, some sort of middleman or transfer agent, or the Banks? It certainly is not the individual investor!? If you consider the same practice affects dividend income on Mutual Funds & Canada Pension Plan, perhaps millions of Canadians are affected. Would you comment on this practice - anyway this might be avoided? Thank you - Ross Siemms
Is their enough room in BCE to grow it's price with more % than Telus over the next year or so. Or in your opinion do you see Telus regaining all its lost ground. I am actually looking at a trade from T to BCE and wonder if it is worthwhile.
Q: Good morning
I’m interested in taking a position natural gas suppliers. What companies beside Birchcliff would you suggest looking into?
Thankyou Les
Q: These large cap dividend stocks have declined significantly. Would you consider them on sale now to add or purchase at these time? Eventually these stocks should recover perhaps even without cutting theirs dividends.
Thanks for your input on this matter.
Q: My TD Waterhouse account used to show a calculated yield based on the current price of UMAX and HMAX but for some reason shows no yield for UMAX and 10.8% for HMAX now ...... Yahoo Finance isn't much better . And the Hamilton website shows 13% and 15.5% no matter what the ETF price is ..... So the first question is what is the calculated yield for both at today's price ? And second what would be the unit price for my targeted entry point of both 14% and 14.5% for UMAX { still making up my mind on UMAX entry price } .... and 16.5% for HMAX ? With rising rates hurting utlities and banks in the doghouse I'm inclined to think I might get those entry points .....
Q: Which one looks better today for long term price appreciation? Why have the share prices been punished so badly? Are these not great long term assets?
Thanks
