Investment Q&A

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

Q: Was in a quandary over ET after purchasing as an income stock several years ago. Currently underwater by 30% and was wondering about buying more as my position is small. I know 5i seldom recommends averaging down but in this case would averaging down be an opportunity? Normally I would sell after a dividend cut but these times are not normal. Company has no debt ( I think ) and room to increase dividend. Is management just being ultra-conservative about increasing dividend? Would this be a tax loss seller or a buying opportunity?

Q: I'm going to sell my ET position very soon. I would like to put the proceeds into one of the following three: LSPD, REAL or WELL. How would you order them in terms of risk? How would you order them in terms of most potential?

Best,
Don

Q: Hello 5i,
I sold PLC at a gain to buy AW due to the higher dividend and good pricing. I sold ET and bought TCL.A also at a good price now.

With the excess cash from the sale of ET should I wait to see what you suggest next or buy CU which s not in your portfolios but has a good dividend, is at a good price and is suggested by you in many instances or buy GOEASY also at a good price, growing, and a reasonable dividend? I am 73 looking for dividend and some growth with a ten year outlook. I do not need the funds as a defined pension plus dividends. If you have better suggestions I would appreciate them.

Q: In response to Roy's question on Sept 11 you stated in part "earnings are expected to bounce in 2021 by up to 50%". I couldn't find any specific information supporting that position in the MD&A accompanying recent annual & quarterly results, other than management's generic confidence in increasing revenues once the pandemic impacts are over (whenever that is!) Have you any other specific information?

Q: With a 5-10 year time horizon, can you recommend any dividend stocks which have stable dividends and high yields due to current market conditions? I think that RioCan and Enbridge both fall into this category and would be interested in similar stocks that have a yield in the 8-10% range.

Q: Good morning and Happy Canada Day!
Thoughts on Evertz quarter and what your expectation of where the dividend goes from here. Would you expect them to return to .18 per quarter in short order or will we see a further cut ? Do you consider the dividend cut prudent or is it possible they are trying to chase away public shareholders and take the company private in the near term?
Thanks Rob

Q: I'm looking to add another 5 quality dividend payers for the long term. Do you see any issues with my existing positions? SOME growth would be nice but secondary to dividend amount and safety of dividend. Industry and country are not important.

Thanks
