Could u rank them from high (10) to Low (1), and what entry price make sense to you. From a dividend return point of view, and from a Growth point of view. Take as many credit as you see fit.

Q: Hi,
I've been very careful in the last year with stock market at all time high and I've been building a relatively high position in utilities in my portfolio and I am clearly overweight in utilities. I know that timing the market perfectly is impossible but at what point in time would you suggest to start unloading utilities? Do you think that there is still some upside in these names due the Tariffs and the associated panic in the market? If you had 3 companies to sell now in my list which companies would you unload first. Thank you!

Q: A member's question regarding CAD companies that would be most negatively affected by the effect of a Trump victory on Canadian co's with large exposure to the US highlighted the list I included above. I can possibly understand why LNR and MG would be negatively affected, but why should Canadian oil producers (and a pipeline co which doesn't compete with a US pipeline Co's route) also be affected by a commodity covered by NAFTA 2 which was approved under the previous Trump administration?

Q: Trump has stated that he intends to impose a 10% Tariff on all goods entering the country to make America great again. The small oil producers and coal lobby are also aligned with him and expecting favours. Could Enbridge get caught up in this mess? I would like to start a position but I’m uncertain of the risks. I appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Hello - I am an income investor. My view has been to construct my portfolio with companies that pay growing dividends as a way to offset inflation. With BCE’s announcement of reduced expected dividend growth in the future I am considering shifting that portion of my portfolio somewhere else. Can you please provide the stated expected ranges of dividend growth (as a %) of these companies? Please take all the credits you wish. Thank you
