Q: Hi, Telco stocks have been weak for past few months , with new 52 weeks lows. perhaps due to pressure from increased competition ( Rogers/Shaw) and rising interest rates. Many analysts have also revised their price targets lower, in anticipation of weak results and soft outlook, at least in the near term.

My question is more specific to Telus, which was hit hard today, due to lower guidance announced by TIXT. Although, TIXT accounts for only 10% of Telus revenues/earnings, but it appears to be a continuous drag for the parent co. I know, 5i hold TIXT in its portfolio and has been supporting to own the stock, despite its downward trajectory for a long time. Telus now faces not just industry challenge from its peers, but also additional impact with negative and uncertain outlook for TIXT.

In light of this, if we wish to own only one Telco, would it be safer and

Q: Hello 5i,
In a previous answer you indicated that DE could be purchased in a range somewhat below $6.30 per share as I recall. I initiated a position slightly under that and now need to add my next tranche. Since that time, however, they have raised their dividend and the share price is now around $7.30. The short term chart is fairly strong. The question is: what would now be an attractive entry point for my second tranche? Should I try and wait for a pull-back of some sort or just bite the bullet and proceed?
Thanks!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hi All,
I have recently bought TRP and it has been falling ever since. I don't know whether I should continue to hold on to it and hope that this downward trend will reverse itself or sell and move on to something with more momentum?
Will the completion of the Keystone Pipeline inspire some upward movement in the stock? Also is the dividend safe?
Thanks for your valued opinion.

Q: Just reading about the takeover of RNW by TA. Not really interested in TA as I need income and the reduction in yield will go from 8.55 down to 1.88% with only 1.03 shares of TA for every share of RNW. My question is if RNW happens to trade above the $13 mark, will it be better to just sell all of those shares if this happens?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: I have been out of the loop for a while (due to a few health concerns) and have found these two stocks, Fiera and Algonquin, fallen since I last checked in on them.

Is Fiera, then, a SELL? I see that it is diminished in the portfolio, but still hanging in there. If this company is no longer a good proposition, could you suggest a replacement for a steady income/dividend, as that is a priority now in my stage of investing.

And same applies to Algonquin. Is that a good proposition to hold, or can it be replaced now with something with more vitality?

Thanks for your help, as always.

Please deduct points accordingly, as this is a "two-fer". : )
