Q: hi,
BNS is now trading below November 2013 ( as far as I can see, correct me if I'm wrong ). could you do a quick comparison of the company at each time, illustrating valuation metrics/growth prospects etc.? BNS is now down more than 30% from the recent top-are forward earnings expectations now down 30% from the top, or more/less than 30%? Lastly, do you have any educated guess as to where the bottom is for this stock?
cheers, chris

Q: I know that this is an unfair question - sorry. I realize that ARKK and AMD are two different investments, but if 5i had a chunk of money to invest in one of these two, which would it be? On a similar note, is Intel a better investment than AMD?

Q: Hi 5i
It is my understanding that in a non-registered account I can receive up to +/- $50,000 (BC/Fed combined tax rate) in Canadian dividends without being taxed. Is that correct?
If so, I was hoping that you could provide a list of 20 Canadian dividend stocks that you have confidence in that have:
1) a 4% yield or higher
2) are not in or associated with the Oil/Gas sector
3) hopefully enough growth to keep up with inflation

Thanks!

Q: I’d like to start a position in one or more income funds that offer a very high yield, but I’m not sure which ones to choose. As of Wednesday Oct 5th, these are the indicated yields I’ve found:

CLM 23.92%
PDBC 20.65%
SDIV 15.31%
QYLD 14.19%
RYLD 14.05%
XYLD 13.05%
BIGZ 11.01%
JEPI 10.94%
PDO 10.90%
PDI 10.79%
BXMT 10.38%
MPW 10.17%
STWD 9.84%
EIT.UN 9.42%
IDV 8.15%

Would you recommend any of these or do you have other suggestions? Are any of them too risky if the bear market deteriorates from here, or can they all be held long term? Are some of these yields too good to be true, like CLM and PDBC? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: I am trying build a list of buy and forget core stocks for each sector. I hold the following utilities in various accounts: FTS, BIPC, BEPC, AQN, NEE, BLX, NPI. Can you please rank these for safety and also for growth. I hold BLX in a corp account because it has the lowest yield - do you see BLX as a long term buy and forget stock? Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I am concerned holding BAM into the spin. Historically the lesser attractive piece has sold off substantially during the spin (e.g. bbu.un, bip.un, bep.un).

Do you think the same will happen here with the asset heavy business selling off and people gravitating to the manager?
