Investment Q&A

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

Q: Are there any companies out there now with an 8% or higher dividend that you would suggest for a long term hold? I say 8, bc it hasn’t been overly hard to find 4-5 before this carnage. I picked up ENB already, and I’m ok if the short/med term div is cut and the price falls further. I’m really looking for stocks that will likely pay a high stable dividend into the future (based on current prices) after things return to normal. No preference on sector.

Q: Given Doug Fords news this morning, will stock prices quickly factor in the disruption to business, making stock market prices attractive for purchase in the near future, or will they be cheaper after they start to report their losses? Which stocks might be attractive now which ones are better to hold off on?

Q: seem to have a lot of questions about the safety of dividends and will they be cut.
I thought I would add another one to the fire and ask you power corp. and power financial became one company now and the management said it would raise dividend 10% in second quarter. do you see this being in jeopardy now with the market tanking day after day. do you also see banks possibly not raising dividends anymore this year [Canadian] until things get better hopefully.

Q: I was wondering if it would be possible to get a list of the CDN O & G companies that would be at risk of cutting dividends. Most have high debt levels and if O & G stays low for a long time, they will have to conserve capital and pay back debt.

Q: With regard to Martin's question about the safety of accounts of over $100k your response was that amounts above this were not guaranteed. My understanding is that the $100k limit applied to bank accounts, which are guaranteed by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC). Investment/brokerage accounts, however, are protected by the CIPF (Canadian Investor Protection Fund) up to $1 million. Is that not correct?
