Q: Hello 5i,

I am looking to create a sector diversified portfolio, that will provide dividend income
each month throughout the year? Preferably yields over 4%, reits, and etfs are acceptable. Even better would be payouts at the beginning of each month?

Thanks for your help
Stephen

Q: One of my portfolios I run a leveraged that is currently about 2.5x leveraged (stocks :equity). More than half of the portfolio are dividend companies (overweighted beaten up real estate) and then tech at 20% with the rest diversified value/blue chip. This is a riskier portfolio than an average RRSP but in the context of my entire net worth and other business/real estate assets it is 5% and so I am okay with the risks.

That being said, after we have had big moves upwards, what might be some of the ways I could hedge or pay some small insurance premium for protection? I could simply sell off some of the portfolio, and also take capital gains but would be losing that longer term leveraged exposure that I see as the economy rights itself and to allow my value stocks to play out.

I know the big hedge funds can use options on CDS but what could a private investor do?

Q: I need to add some weight to my industrial sector, and as an income investor, I'm wondering about TCL.A? I've read the commentary, and although it seems to have had some troubles prior to Covid, just wondering if you would consider it a buy on a dip or if you have other options you like better and would suggest. For a long term hold. Thanks again!

Q: I don't know how to derive an estimate for the fair value of the difference in share prices for the above Brookfield companies. Since the date of their respective share distributions, BEPC and BIPC have outperformed their economically equivalent LP unit prices by 30% and 39% respectively. When are the price premiums too big to account for the differences in tax treatment and investor access?
