Q: hello 5i:
Recently, I asked about selling AC and moving the money to EIF. You were positive on this. AC has been sold, and though good earnings growth for EIF is projected, I've found that they miss Analyst expectations on all metrics (Earnings/Share, Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow) as often, or more, than they hit them.
With that in mind, how much faith can I put in an Earnings Growth projection? Is there a metric I'm missing and should be looking at?
Is there and Industrial space company similar to this, but with a better record of meeting expectations?
thanks

Q: Good afternoon 5i,
TD has the dividend payments of VIU and VEE respectively at $0.80 and $0.86. Is there a withholding on these amounts since they're foreign or is that automatically built in to the price for share. I'm simply trying to estimate my dividend payment from both.
Why do their payments vary quarter to quarter when other ETF's (e.g. ZSP) keep the same payment rate per quarter?
Thanks in advance. - Jeff

Q: You mentioned that Topicus operates in $USD. Did you mean that they make their acquisitions using this currency, or is it the currency utilized by their operating groups on a day to day basis? Thanks.
Q: Hi Peter
SYZ has declined significantly. I know you have been positive in your recent answers. That’s encouraging.
I wanted to ask why SYZ declined by so much?
They have withstood well in the past 10 year bear markets. What’s different this time that they are on a free fall

Q: Hi all,
Looking for another company that will compliment my holding of ENB. Was thinking of TCL. Would those two be too much of an overlap? Any other suggestion would be appreciated for a large cap with dividends stock.

Q: Hi 5i, What is your current read on the attractiveness of investing in TLT? I assume it would be best to hold in a registered account but you could please confirm. If acquiring just one bond fund today, would this be your preferred choice, and/or is there a comparable CDN bond fund worth considering? Thanks.
Q: Good morning 5i staff,
I am thinking about selling PLC for a tax loss and buying again in 30 days. I know the previous exdividend date was in June but I don't know how to find out when the next one is, as this might affect my decision. Do you see any catalysts that would affect this stock in the next thirty days, or do you think that it will not rise much in that time?
thanks for all your great advice

Q: I recent sold UPST for a tax loss and purchased AFRM, it has been 30 days now - would you rebuy UPST or would you purchase another in the same sector with the same risk profile and upside potential?
Thanks for your service!

Q: The Globe just had an interesting piece by a RY high yield bond fund manager and I'm curious about your thoughts on the gain potential which assumes inflation is defeated in a year or two. I am reluctant to pay fund fees again so if there is an ETF you can suggest which deals with corporate bonds it would be appreciated. thanks Al
Q: NVDA is a top US favourite of yours. An article yesterday that husband of Nancy Pelosi reportedly bought $1-$5m shares of NVDA. before a bill of $52B in chip subsidies and/or tax credit go to the Senate for vote as early as Tuesday. In light of the foregoing is it timely to buy some NVDA and/or AMD in this market backdrop which had imparted lots of pain. Txs for u usual great services & views.
Q: I have a sense that retail investors are still buying the dips and we haven't seen real capitulation. Do you have any data sources that would help to inform this thesis?

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (BEP.UN)
-
ATCO Ltd. Class I Non-voting Shares (ACO.X)
-
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP.UN)
Q: What would account for ATCO's lackluster performance over the last 10 years? Lumpy earnings? The chart looks quite good in the years prior to 2012, and the dividend appears to have been raised fairly regularly.
As a retired dividend stock investor, I am interested in it's diversification. I do have exposure to the Brookfields, but do you think there is enough difference between ATCO and BIP/BEP to warrant an investment in this company?
