For a dividend investor would you buy CNQ or FRU today for long term hold? Meredith

Q: GRNY ETF by Tom Lee. Can you give us your thoughts? Underperformance this week. He is the eternally optimist but seems to have a decent understanding of what is impacting the markets. Let me know you thoughts.

Q: How much is the market drawn down based on tariffs vs market valuation?

Q: What stock in the balanced equity would you be buying into today for a long term hold (noting that you wouldn’t back up any kind of vehicle into this market)

Q: Hello 5i,

Thanks for the detailed and quality answers during these "interesting" times. I know predictions are pretty much "off the table", but ... I wonder if you could ponder the chance over the next few years of a dividend cut at the Banks. (1 = impossible, 10 = possible if things get really bad).
Knowing that such an action would be a very tuff call for the banks to make. All Canadian banks in general, but specifically TD and BNS (which are some of my TSFA holdings and used to generate retirement dividend revenue.

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold the securities listed above, as well as a couple of more stable ETFs and some cash in my TFSA. I am aware that things are going to be volatile at least for the near future but am wondering in what order an investor might deploy cash to any of these securities given the correction we are experiencing.
Thank you

Q: I was just about to purchase SRAD and GENI. But now that HOOD and PLTR have pulled back so much would they have potentially more upside? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I meant to send you a question but I am unsure as to whether or not it actually went through. I am only marking this "Private" in case it ends up being a duplicate, otherwise, "Public" is fine. If it is a duplicate, my apologies!!! Now to the questions:
What do you - and others - feel the Bank of Canada may do on April 16: raise, lower, or hold on interest rates? I know there is a *lot* going on at the macro level, but is there any consensus as to what we might reasonably expect?
In terms of the current environment, I have two questions about Covered Call ETF's:
Is the current environment good, bad, or indifferent for (un-leveraged) C.C. ETF's or is the individual performance of the underlying holdings far more important?
And, in this environment, what is the likelihood of C.C. ETF's needing to cut their dividends? What kind of factors have the geatest impact on a dividend cut decision for these ETF's? I hold a few of these ETF's and over the years have seen dividend cuts in some instances come and go, while in others, the cut has seemed more permanent.
Many thanks for any insights you can provide!! Have a great weekend, all!!
Cheers,
Mike
