Q: Hi
What’s your opinion of EIF as a long term hold for an income portfolio?
Thanks
Rick

Q: hi guys,

wondering if i could get your comments on the earnings reported by the noted companies. deduct necessary credits for question on multiple companies if needed. thanks.

Q: What is the current situation with regards to the short attack on the company earlier in the year. With the recent decline in share price it has a very attractive yield. What are the odds of a dividend cut? What per cent do insiders own? This company has executed well in the past seems to have good management and their airline business is a near monopoly in the north. The erosion of the share price seems to be more in sympathy with markets in general rather than based on company metrics. Appreciate you comments.

Q: Hi everyone
What do you thing of this company? Is it a buy for long term? Is there a lot of volume trading?
really like your advice
Diane

Q: just wondering where the best place would be to put student loans with no interest owing for at least 4 years would be, out of the companies above? any other suggestions would be appreciated as well

Q: What Canadian stocks would be considered dividend growers?

Q: I have 1% positions in AD (at about the current price) and EIF (down about 20%). You just added AD to the income portfolio. I'm thinking of selling EIF and rolling the proceeds into AD since EIF has been range-bound for a year and AD is showing a rebound and some momentum. Your thoughts?

Q: Can you compare EIF vs SPB for a dividend growth investor. They
are similar in some ways but SPB appears to be less volatile and the
better performer recently. Which would you give the nod today?

Q: How do short sellers make money on this stock which has been range bound for the last two years. After they pay the dividend and borrow cost they must be in a losing position unless they trade a lot including going both long and short ?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi,

EIF has come up with pretty good results over the last year and yet the stock is not going anywhere. Any explanation ? Do you see it as a buying opportunity ?

Thanks

Q: Eif just reported could i have your opinion on their results.

Q: EIF a year later seems to have weathered the short report put out by Cohodes for now.How many shares are currently short ? and with earnings out next week what are the market consensus?? Thx

Q: Thank you in advance for your enlightened advice. Which seem to you the best investments. I am looking for a dividend in a non-registered account as well as growth for a term of 2 to 3 years. The weighting of my interest is 30% towards the dividend and 70% towards the growth. The companies I am looking at are:
AFN, BNS, CM, BIP.UN, CHR, ENB, EIF, FRU, MAXR, SMU.UN
Could you rank them in terms of preference and write down the ones you would avoid. Sector weighting is not a criteria.

thank you very much

Q: Hi, Would like your esteemed opinion on this company. Seems to be increasing revenue and profit and paying a nice dividend.

Q: The stock is losing ground steadily now. Do you know why?

Q: Company and dividend as of close
KWH.UN 11.3%, BCE 5.6%, ENB 6.3%, ALA 8.3%, EIF 6.8%, HR.UN 6.8%, RUS 5.5%, BEP.UN 6.2%, GS 6.1%, AQN 5.1%, EMA 5.2%, FTS 4%, H 4.59%
Hi
Could you please choose from the above list (or any additions of your choice) the stocks that you feel would be best suited to be held in an income/dividend non registered account for a long period of time. It would be great if you could also guide me as to whether I should do equal weight or if it is better to invest by a percentage of one company over another. I am interested in trying to have the highest return of dividends but I do not want to reach too far for it (ie 50% KWH.UN). If I could get a blended 6% annually over 10+ years that would be super. Not all the companies need to be included. I know there are some that overlap sectors.
Thank you for all that you do. You are great guides.

Q: Rising interest rates have definitely put downward pressure on bond-proxy types of companies i.e. those that pay dividends. I am an investor who believes that those companies that pay dividends and have the ability to raise those dividends consistently over time tend to outperform. I would like to purchase 6 such companies for the income portion of my portfolio, and would appreciate the names of your favorite companies that pay, and have a history of increasing, their dividends.

Q: Have held CHE.UN and growing tired of its performance.
Can you suggest replacement for dividend equivalent and growth potential
