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

Q: I currently have 40% of my portfolio in Canadian banks, utilities, BN,TOI, LMN and other dividend paying stocks Mostly purchased in the last year. I'm considering legging 60% of my remaining cash in my portfolio into VTI and VUS in the next 10 months. Do have any thoughts or concerns?
My understanding is any US stocks paying a dividend should go into an RRSP account. All my investments are in RRSP's and TSFA's.

Thanks
Brian

Q: Hello,

Not too long ago I asked your opinion of Heico - thank you for your response.

As a follow-up, could you please compare Heico to Transdigm? Which has the better past returns, future growth potential, balance sheet health, valuation? Which would be your preference if only buying one? What entry points would you consider reasonable?

Thank you for your insights,

Q: What are your thoughts on REIT's as a whole, as the sector is getting beaten up. I know which one's you like based on other questions. I'm not a value investor, but I do like buying high quality names in beaten up sectors when investors think the sector is done. I did this with oil & gas 3 years ago. Do you think the quality names in the REIT sector are getting unjustifiably cheap and may be a screaming buy longer term? Or are there reasons to not be a big fan of the sector? thx

Q: Hello Peter and Staff

I was a bit surprised at your answer to Lee on August 21st where you included GSY and TCN as too risky for the average retired investor . I thought both are high on your list ?

Thanks for all you do

Q: While I like their growth profile, management and commitment to debt reduction, I just can’t figure out exactly what they do. I remember the old Moore Business forms when I would send out handwritten invoices ( many many years ago )and I see the word “ print “ in their presentations so I’m thinking they are in a declining business.
In plain words , can you tell me what they do. An example of how they would assist a customer would help. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi 5i,

I want to add 1 of the following consumer related US companies to an income portfolio with some growth:

COST (good growth, very small dividend)
WMT (good growth, small dividend)
AMZN (Good growth, No dividend)
KVUE (good products, good dividend, not as much growth)

Please review them, rank them in order of preference for a long term hold. If you have a better alternative, please include it.

Please deduct 5 credits, 1 for each company and 1 for the other possibility.

I look forward to your review.
John

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I am looking at adding another dividend name to my RRSP portfolio. I already own ENB, TRP, and PPL in the energy infrastructure space, and am thinking of starting a position in Williams Companies. It has a lower yield than the other three at present, but how does it compare in terms of valuation (P/E, debt ratios, etc.) Is it a "safer" investment than the other three? Given that it's nearly impossible to build a new pipeline in Canada anymore, does it have a better future?
Much appreciated,
Brian
