Investment Q&A

Q: Whats your thoughts on these 2 companies for income and growth.

Q: I'd be interested in an update on your opinion on MICs, and Timbercreek in particular both over the next year of potentially rising interest rates and as a long term full position hold.

Q: Good Morning,
I am searching for stable high dividend stocks for income, and I was wondering if Timbercreek Financial qualifies. How safe is their dividend? Have they ever cut it? What is the growth potential of this company? What is a good entry point.
Thanks for your service.
Jane

Q: hello
What are your thoughts on MIC's these days? For income of course.
Could you please rank them in order of "distribution" safety?
Thanks

Q: WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THESE SECURITIES. I HAVE HELD THEM FOR A FEW YEARS AND HAVE BEEN SATISFIED WIT THEIR PERFORMANCE BUT I AM THINKING OF SELLING AND MOVING ON TO OTHERS.
PLEASE ADVISE.
THANK YOU, TERRY

Q: I would like your help putting together a yield portfolio of between 15 and 20 names.
This would be the entire investments for my wife and I. We are both retired and now live full-time in the U.S. And at some point I expect my Canadian newspaper pension to disappear, so I am looking to replace that money.
I would like your opinion of the above names with regard to safety of the income and overall diversification.
I would also appreciate some additional ideas and would like to know if I`m off base on any or all of these names.
I am currently only invested in CM, BNS and BMO and DIR.UN.
Please take 20 credits (or more).
Thank you in advance for your invaluable assistance.

Q: Hi, may I please have your opinion for a long term hold. Do you think the dividend is sustainable? I see insider buying. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i Team

Could you please provide an update on the mortgage investment corporation.
Are they a reasonable source of higher yield interest income?
The four MIC and First National have suffered the declines similar to the market.
These investments would be held in my RRSP for long term interest income and not for capital gains. These would be a small portion of my high yield fixed income portfolio which includes corporate bonds and convertible debentures.
How did MIC fare in the low interest rate environment after the 2008 crash / recession as most stock charts only go back 10 years.
Thanks for the excellent advice in the last four weeks with all the market changes.

Q: I have held timbercreek in my rrif for a longtime appreciating it's dividend but little growth. This seems to be a dim outlook for the mortgager in this market as it lost 5% yesterday despite the rally. Is it better that I sell?

Q: Would you add as its making all time highs?

Q: Trying to clean up my portfolio. Any of these losers worth keeping??
I'm a very long term, patient investor.
Thanks.

Q: Comments would be appreciated about these two companies as sources of stable dividend income with some chance for capital appreciation. Is there any changes their dividends could be reduced in the near term?
Thanks,
Hugh

Q: Hello 5i Team
I am reviewing alternative high yield C$ investments for my RRSP for a small portion of my fixed income (< 5% of total portfolio ).
Looking at the publicly traded mortgage investment corporations (MIC) on the TSX - of the four listed, which would be your preferred choice and/or ranked in order.
Are there any other MIC listed on the TSX?
Could you also confirm that "dividends" for MICs are considered as "interest" if held in a non-taxable account.
Thanks in advance for the great service.

Q: Will you vibe me a list of 4 mortgage funds and their annual dividend. Thx

Q: Hello, would appreciate your opinion on Timber Creek Financial. My advisor is recommending it for income as it has a yield of 7%.
Thanks,
Perry

Q: We have just transferred from an advisor to a discount broker. We have a 8% position between two separate RIF accounts . As the risk is the same in a RIF or a TFSA account would it make sense to move this holding to our TFSA accounts with a total 5% holding
as there is no tax in the TFSA accounts? Your overall opinion of of the company please, and if 5% is too high of a holding for this company? Any other recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks MJ

Q: Hi – what is your general view of the MIC’s now, for TFSA or RSP.? Which MIC do you prefer if any? Can you please rank the three listed and indicate if there’s a different one that you prefer. Thanks.

Q: Good morning,

I'm considering adding a small position of BXMT in my Non Reg US portfolio to generate some additional US $ income. With a 7% yield, how safe is this distribution and would you recommend any other name in its place to achieve my objective? Also, your thoughts on TF in my RSSP account would be appreciated. Thank you
Franco

Q: Good morning,
Just a noticed a sudden one day drop in the price of TF. Can you please provide me your opinion on this MIC and are any other MICs that you would prefer in lieu of TF for income in a TFS or RRSP account. Thank you.
