Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,
I have no Utilities in my registered portfolio and I am going to add one at a full position. I am likely holding it for 5 years, and my overall investment window or horizon is long-term at 20+ years. The dividend yield on all three of these stocks is over 4% which I like. None are currently 'oversold' on the RSI chart.
Three questions:
Is AQN still a reasonable buy even with a P/E of 26x?
Do you expect H to stay range-bound with a price in the low $20's because of their future planned share issues?
If you could recommend only one, for a younger person, which one do you like? (feel free to deduct 3 credits). Thx, Rob

Q: Good morning:
I own a 3.5% position in Fiera, primarily for the dividend and non-bank financial exposure. I'm puzzled that Fiera has not declared its quarterly dividend yet. As the last dividend was declared in November, I was expecting the next one to come in February. Understanding dividends are at the discretion of the board, I wonder if there is a reason why we don't have the dividend advice, or is this is "just a Fiera thing?"
Thank you and have a fine day!
Geoff

Q: Have Couche Tard on my watch list for a market pullback, but in the back of my mind I'm a little concerned about the long term impact of the switch to electric and/or self driving vehicles. Do you have a sense how much of their revenue is tied to fuel and percentage of their stores tied to gas retail?

Should I be worried about technology disruption here? I tend to hold shares long term if possible.

Q: I keep reading the traditional fixed income portion of a portfolio that has been allocated to bonds in the past, is a bad idea as a long term investment going forward. With that being said, what type of investments/products would you suggest the average investor allocate the fixed income portion of their portfolio going forward?
Thanks
