Investment Q&A

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

Q: When you buy an action with a dividende at a given rate, does the dividend payment you receive stay the same indepently from the variations in the price of the action ?
And, when you buy the same action again, but at a different price and at a different dividend rate, how do you calculate the actual dividend you are to receive ? For exemple,if I bought bip.un at 44. with a dividend rate of 4.40% and I buy it again at 54. with a dividend rate of 4.%, what is the effective combined dividend rate after the second purchase ?

Thank you for your kind attention,

Jacques

Q: I own a small percentage of ECN (no gain/loss) and EFN (at a loss currently). I'm thinking of consolidating my stocks by selling one or both. I'm wondering whether I should sell both ECN and EFN and consolidate in a stock such as GSY, or whether I should sell the EFN and consolidate in ECN. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions or recommendations in other similar stocks that I could consolidate in? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Q: I have a position in Visa. Analyzing the historical chart I can see that this stock just doesn't seem to go down. The only extended pull back since 2009 that I can see was in 2014 and it basically went sideways for about 10 months. Since than it has grown at least 25%/year. The yield is small, but with this kind of growth it doesn't really matter. Also, the use of Visa will only expand as tech companies fight for transaction fees, and with inflation their revenues can only go up. It seems to me only an extended recession can effect their growth. For these reasons wouldn't Visa be a good place to go "overweight"?
