Q: Hello 5i,
As a pensioner who requires dividends for my income, I have been looking at the above names to potentially add over the next year or so. It is my belief (uneducated guess) that it might take that long before we see any solid bottom and subsequent recovery begin.
In that vein, out of the above, how would you rank these based on the following:
1. Safety of company through a one year to 16 month recession.
2. Safety of the dividend through this same period.
3. Confidence in management team
4. Sector vulnerability
5. Value at current levels
6. Any other considerations, warnings or caveats for any of these ??
i.e. some of these have a decent 5i rating (B or higher), but the rating dates back to 2019, some as early as the summer.
And, finally, are there any suggestions you might have that are not on this list that deserve serious consideration in place of any of the above?
I am in no rush for an answer so take as long as you need to consider this question and deduct as many credits as you see fit - I should have enough to cover it. I hope that this question might also prove beneficial to other 5i members who rely on dividends for income.
All the best to everyone in this very trying and uncertain time!!! Be safe above all!!
Thanks to all at 5i!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hi guys
I have been a holder of rpi.un for many years once held 10000 shares .
I have trimmed every year to keep the percentage in line and am now down to 2400 shares.
With the run up now over $50 my percentage is higher than I like but I have a reluctance to trim any lower.
Your thoughts this now ten percent also what are the drivers in your opinion that is pushing this stock.
In my tsfa I am almost at zero book value what is CRA position on a negative book value in a tsfa and any other registered account
Kind regards

Q: Hi guys,

I own both ccl.b and rpi.un at 1.5% each, trying to get my portfolio down to 30 names (right now 37). Do I need to own both and treat them as one or should I sell one and buy the other name.

Thanks,
Jim

Q: Two general questions:

My ACB on RPI is approaching zero. When I eventually sell, will Revenue Canada consider zero as the minimum possible ACB or am I expected to continue to calculate an ACB once it goes into negative territory?

This is likely more of an issue for my eventual estate, as I assume once one gets to ACB one just collects dividends unless management does something really silly. Is there any other reason to consider selling a reliable dividend payer once ACB gets to zero?
