Q: Hello,
I’m 32 and currently in the early stages of my investing journey with a long time horizon and medium-high risk tolerance.
My question is about “safe” dividend stocks set as DRIPs. At this point is it worth holding onto equities such as Enbridge, Bell, and Algonquin that are typically held for income or should I focus more on high growth given my 20+ year time horizon? I currently hold around 20 stocks and these stocks comprise 15% of my portfolio. They are also the only stocks I hold in the energy, utilities and telecom sector.
Thank you

Q: I have noted in the past that quarterly MD&A's have included a breakdown of revenue for each dispensary, both for the quarter and in comparison to the same period of the previous year. Recently, this specific information has become absent in quarterly reporting and dispensary revenues have been lumped together. The company response was they made the change for competitive reasons???

I have two questions which I'd be grateful to have answered.

1) Why has the company chosen to omit this information in recent reporting? The limited number of dispensaries currently operating, though growing, does not make this an onerous task.

2) Where can I access revenue per individual dispensary?

Thank you

Q: At the time of writing this, BEPC is trading at $50.66 and BEP.UN at $47.49.......their corresponding 52 week highs are $80.30 and $63.39 which means that BEPC is 58.5% off its high and BEP.UN is 33.5% off its market high. First blush would suggest that BEPC may have a much greater upside from here but that of course relies entirely on what the market determines is a fair premium for BEPC. Currently that premium has dropped to 6.7% . Do you feel that this is too low, too high or just about right??

Q: Hi 5i,
In your answer to Andrew this morning, of the companies he proposed you did not name EGLX as one of your top 3 choices for a TFSA. I'm not sure if this represents a downgrade in your opinion of EGLX...?
What are your current thoughts about EGLX and is there anything to be leery of at present that wasn't a concern a month or so ago when, if memory serves me, you were fairly bullish on the stock?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: My young grandson has $450 to invest. I have agreed to purchase the stock (s) in a non registered account. Long term hold. I'm picking up the trading cost. Suggested a stock (s) that trades under $10. Can you recommend one or two stocks to consider. This is more of a learning exercise for him. Thanks for your wonderful service.
