Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have set up two trust accounts for my teenage children. The intention is to buy a couple of dividend paying stocks with a drip, the idea being to set them on a path to financial literacy since I'm not convinced they will learn this at school. As they turn 18 I will transfer the proceeds into their first TFSA for them. I will research my own portfolio for ideas - PKI comes to mind - but would you have an stock recommendations that meet these criteria:

1) 5I approved
2) div of min 4%
3) with a DRIP

Thank you!

Q: hello 5i:
could you compare ENB and ENF (again), as its been about 3 months since the last question (also asked by someone named Paul!!!). ENF looks undervalued when using the standard metrics like PE, P/S, P/B etc. And, can you give a reason as to why the market is discounting the price. Something we're not aware of?
thanks

Q: I am looking to add a renewable energy producer to my existing power producers (EMA and CPX). My main objective is income. What is your opinion of Transalta Renewables, RNW? Could you comment on their debt levels, dividend stability/payout and whether the association with Transalta is a positive or negative. They seem to have very long term existing PPAs. Do you think the extra dividend is worth holding RNW, or is Brookfield (BEP.UN) really a better choice?
Thanks

Q: Hello- regarding ETFs in general-
often Etf trade above their NAVs during the day, and sometimes for several days or longer. If the ETF issuing company is selling issuing and selling new shares above NAV, where does the extra money go?
Also, should the issuing companies not adjust the price to reflect NAV at least once/ day? I find it annoying to check the NAVS on the Horizon or ISHARES websites and find them different from the market price. Or am I offbase on this?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team. Great site. BTW I just renewed my subscription and gave a gift subscription to my Father for Christmas. My question is which out of the following energy infrastructure companies do you think is the best value and would recommend buying/adding to at this point in time. IPL, KEY, ALA, PPL or VSN. Also are there any things that make you concerned about any of these companies. Thanks Scott

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I have held HNL for about 2 years. Every year it seems that they have a stumble of some kind (loss of major customer, leaking information), but the stock seems to recover. I have been thinking about switching to BDI instead and was wanting your opinion on such a move or should I just hold on to see if things settle down with this company. Thanks for your terrific service.
