Q: Hello team,

A glance at the yield in the BP last month indicated 1.66%. Obviously that number would have been higher had CAE, GIL not cut their dividends and Suncor reduced theirs.

Is this yield in line with the guidelines that 5i uses for this portfolio? Or does one need to adjust to the new reality post pandemic of lower rates for longer?

Additionally, the BP currently has 7 stocks with no dividend and 3 others (Boyd, CSU, ATD) with a smallish dividend. While I get that these stocks would be considered growth stocks, at what point does one get concerned with the likes of CAE, GC, GUD, SU and GIL who have seen a sustained destruction in share price? Thanks in advance.

Q: We are experiencing the third day of steep declines in the US tech sector. Is it time to look at picking up some bargains if so what names would you prefer at today's prices? Would we be better advised to buy an ETF like VGT or individual stocks?

Q: Greetings to all:
On August 21 , Paulettte asked a question about 1801. My question is
what is difficult about duplicating a fund that only returns 3.36% over
5 years, or do you mean that Global growth and income funds overall
are difficult to duplicate? I have a friend who is trying to put me into some Edgepoint and after reviewing most of their returns I can't see
that as you say about 1801 that any of them are a must own. I think
Mawer has a better lineup of funds. Please explain what you meant about 1801, and give your opinion of my assessment of their funds.
Thanks,
BEN.

Q: I am looking to add energy and health care coverage in my portfolio and am considering DUK, MDT. CVS, and XLV. Would these companies be at the top of your consideration list in their respective spaces. Is now an acceptable time to purchase or might it be prudent to await the fallout in the coming week after last week's corrective activity?

Q: HI,
Sometime in april, Great Bear had a « plan of arrangement » and a spin-off of GBR Royalties. The then stock owners got some shares. This new entity is not listed on any stock exchange. Why the spin-off and what the current owners are supposed to do with these?. Do they have any value? I was interested in GBR but I do not like this kind of shuffle …What do you think of GBR at this price, they show good results ?
Good week-end.
