Q: Greetings,

1) What are the latest Dividend payout ratios? My sources are giving numbers that seem all over the place.

2) If a dividend cut was on the cards, how would you rank which company is most likely to reduce or cut?

Many thanks!

Q: Hi
As I was driving to my "empty" office unit, I heard on CBC Radio One, that there is pressure from some groups for the Health care REITs especially Senior's homes REITs like Siena to withhold the dividends because after all they are getting money from the Govt at this time to stay afloat and why should the Govt money go to pay the investors?! (my words)
Are the dividends at risk? The whole sector can take a BIG hit, if the dividends are withheld, no?

Q: Greetings!
RE: Trying to get the hang of Tax loss selling

Our holdings in Chartwell is down 17% and Sienna down 13%.
Comparing both on a 12 month chart seems to indicate more resilience with Chartwell.

Does it make sense to sell Sienna, take losses then on the same day buy Chartwell?

Cheers!

Q: I sold SIA a month ago, mainly for tax loss purposes. I can buy it again at roughly the same price, my thesis being that all the bad news is out, so it should not go down much further. My main question is: is the dividend fully funded, i.e. should we expect a cut in the future? This is for an income portfolio. Thanks.

Q: My income portfolio consisting of the above equities has taken quite a beating in the recent market downturn. Except for LB, there has been some recovery in prices, and so far dividends have been maintained. I have some excess cash to deploy, and would like your advice on whether to double down on some on my current investments, or your suggestions for other beaten down income investments. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter,
Both XBC and BLDP have china exposure. Is this something to be concerned about given issues with Huawei? I own Sienna and Chartwell. Is it worth holding given the situation of long term care or move on? I recall Brookfield had purchased a long term care facility at one time so am wondering if both SIA and Chartwell could be potential takeovers? Thanks very much.

Q: hello 5i:;
I've just sold SIA; had held since 2016 and about a 4% weighting. Looking for something in the Health Care space, hopefully with a good dividend. Would like something like PFE:US, but as its going into a TFSA, the withholding tax is not exactly enamoring. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be Health Care, but should be a good stable dividend growth stock. The portfolio is well balanced at the present time.
