Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i!

Can you comment CIA earnings?

How do you consider evaluation to initiate a position?

Thanks!

Frank

Q: Please comment on the earning report. Thanks a million.

Q: I read in the Vancouver Sun that the municipalities in the US have a lot of control over the rate at which energy utilities convert to climate friendly energy sources. A UBC climate change expert weighed in to nudge the Vancouver municipal council who are meeting this week on the subject to stick to their acceleration plan for Fortis (+ maybe others) to adhere to it. Do you have any facts or insight on investor sentiment over the short to medium term?

Q: I have held T for years and have been content with its solid dividend, stability and some growth. Clearly not happy with current events. I am still up 18% in a non-registered account. Would you be inclined to hold the course and hope for a turn around in the next several quarters? Or do you believe - even after interest rates peak - that the combination of growing competition and onerous government regulation mean the telco will continue to struggle? If the latter, can you recommend a replacement? I'm wrestling with this as I want a dividend >4%, a bit of growth and low volatility, but am overweight in Utilities and Finance, where I would be most likely to get this. What do you think of binning T and shifting the funds to Energy (ENB?) or Real Estate (DIR.UN?)? Alternatively, is there another Communications stock you might recommend (Canada or US) that fit my criteria? Thank you.

Q: Hi,

I've sold my house and moved overseas; I will return in about 3-4 years and may need to buy a new home at that time.

I have about $700K I'd like to invest while I'm overseas.

Can you suggest some dividend stocks to hold while I'm overseas, that I'd be able to liquidate to sell to buy a new home when I return in 3-4 years?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: My I please have your thoughts on the Lennox quarterly release?
Do you feel that after the jump in price today that it is still a good entry point for long term investment?
Any other thoughts/comments on the company would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Q: I suspect TRP will settle in over the next few weeks, but has any of the recent developments changed your view on the safety of the dividend?

Q: The splitting into gas and liquids components is not impressing the market, seems more like shuffling the deck chairs. I've owned TRP for many years at a good profit which has now become a small loss and am considering selling. Any sage advice?

Q: This company is in a free fall. Is it a good time to get in?

Great yield.

TY

Q: hi,
I am looking at adding these to my dividend equities. I like growth with the dividend stocks, both in capital appreciation and dividend payout ( to keep up with inflation, over the long term ). how do these 2 stack up? further, is there an open source website to check CDN dividend equites in regards to the dividend growth, payout ratios, etc...
cheers, chris

Q: Hi All of these are down over 4% even though earnings look ok. Am I missing something? are any of them sells or buy more?

Q: Kindly comment on the CJ 2023 second quarter results and the forward guidance. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i
I own GXE in a TFSA and in the midst of today's bloodbath the value of my holding is down 45% from when I bought quite some time ago. There's not an overly significant amount of money involved and I can ride it out if that's the thing to do, but I would like to minimize my losses as effectively as possible.
With that in mind, what would you recommend I do - sell, hold or buy some more at the current depressed price, and why?
Thanks 5i, I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter

Q: I need to increase my weight in the consumer cyclical so I am looking at QSR and AW.UN. Would you buy both or only one? If only one is to be bought which one would you prefer?

Thanks

Q: By the end of this year, I will set up a RRIF. I would very much like to have dividends fund the expected withdrawal of 5 to 6%. There are many TSX stocks which will help achieve this goal. For example, ENB, BCE, BNS, CM, PPL, MFC, SLF etc. Currently, my RRSP is 67% CDN$ and 33% US$. I am having great difficulty finding anything in US$ that comes close to the dividend yield offered by the CDB$ stocks that have listed. BTW, my CDN$ would have about 15 positions. Big Question: How to achieve my goal with the US$ component of my RRIF? One obvious option is to move to funds CDN$, but that goes against country diversification which you often note. I am not very keen on US stocks or ETFs that pay a 2.5% dividend. Your thoughts and recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dan.

Q: CGO: what is going on with this company? Shares been sliding for a while. They do seem to carry a lot of debt. Buy?

Q: Hello Peter
I have a 2 percent weight on the two stocks. Is this a good time to add as they seem to be ticking higher and the dividend is attractive? Thanks very much.

Q: Your opinion on Capital Power Corp please? Buy, Sell or Hold?

Q: Thoughts on today's announcement regarding TRP?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have held the US stock of Brookfield Renewable Corp for a bit over 2 years. For that same time, BEPC has been on a steady but very slow decline (-23%).

Back when it was a REIT (BEP.UN.TO) I did very well.

In your opinion what are the prospects of this slow decline turning around? I wanted to add more because I still believe in the quality of the company (part of my utilities sector). Plus they have steadily increased their dividend ~5% every year since it's inception (July 2020).

Thank You,
Andrew
