Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I realize that you have been pretty much non committal about Evertz Technologies, however, they released what look to be "blow-out" numbers yesterday with a record quarter, record annual revenue and record backlog. The market clearly likes it and I wonder if this might change your view of the company going forward.

Thanks as always.

Q: Dividend growth investor here. Was wondering about the quality ACO.X as an investment. Any balance sheet concerns? The rather large portion they own of CU seems to be dictating the performance of their stock price - more less flat-ish over the last few years. So in that regard why would, say, FTS be outperforming CU over the last 5 years by approx. 25%?

Q: Brookfield Renewable has an A rating and has been one of the most recommended stocks on 5i for income over the years. Since 2021 or so, if you look at the charts, it's been heading south as a trend.

Any opinions on what has changed since 2021 materially that this name seems to have been trending down as oppose to the prior 5 years? Is it because it's not longer a growth name and more a income name? Is it because their earnings haven't been as what they have promised? Just curious to know how or if the narrative has changed?

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor.....this is a "timing" question.

I am close to topping up TRP...no panic to do so.....got a couple of questions.

#1 = I believe TRP reports in August 02/23.....wait for them to report?

#2 = Coastal Gas Link project....I went searching and read their May 31 update. I was looking for something to give me an idea about "on time and on budget"...came up with zip.

Do you have any more current info? At under $54, it looks like a good price to add. However, if waiting for another 6 weeks might bring some clarity and/or an even better price, then I'm ok to wait.

Got any insight?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Hi ,

It is becoming increasingly hard to ‘keep the faith’ with respect to dividend growth stocks given their overall returns over the last year or so.

In particular, Enbridge has been a huge disappointment in terms of overall return, along with VDY and XEI due to poor performance of bank and energy stocks.

I am looking at replacing ENB as its outlook from a technical perspective is poor https://canada.swingtradebot.com/equities/ENB:TSX

Any suggestions ? this would be for a buy and hold cash account.

Best Regards,
Paul

Q: US stock market almost recovered after a stunning run lately. The Canadian market is apparently still recovering. Do you think there is a rotation that will be going on, e.g. Canadian stock market, or non-AI stocks? I am wondering whether there are some Canadian stocks that may be benefit from the rotations that we can invest now?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
This stock has been like winning the lottery...it has risen about 50% since May. Needless to say it makes my day. So what do you think? Do you think that it has more room to run or should I cash in my winning ticket? Ha!Ha! Also if there is some kind of so called recession would it be seriously devalued.
Thank you for your opinion and insight...it is always a voice of reason! With respect...thanks again!

Q: Canadian telecom stocks have not been performing well recently.
1 ) Are Canadian telecoms strictly comparable to U.S. counterparts like VZ which has also not performed well but appears to trade more cheaply and with a higher dividend .
2) And if they are comparable , might that suggest that the Canadian companies could play catch-up to the downside ?
Thanks
