Q: I have held LSPD and GSY for quite a while now in an RRSP and RESP respectively with still 10 plus year timelines on those portfolios. I purchased LSPD at about $33 (it's now around $90) and GSY at about $50 (it's over $100 now) and I have taken some profits out along the way. Do you see these two continuing to do really well? I'm wondering if you would recommend just holding onto my remaining shares for the foreseeable future (say another 1-3 years) or would it make sense to sell while ahead and put that money in something with a bit more growth potential? THX, Jeff

Q: Hello 5i Team
Canadian Utilities (CU) has announced a $0.0044 (1.010565 %) increase in the quarterly dividend, continuing CU 49 year dividend increase streak.

1 – Why do companies increase dividends by “oddball” amounts, in this particular case why would CU not increased the quarterly dividend from $0.4354 to $0.4400 (instead of $0.4398) which would increase the total annual dividends by approximately $218,000 on total annual dividends of $475M.

2 – Is this a sign the board increased the dividend a “token” amount to maintain their 49 year history of increased dividend and that CU is facing stagnant growth in their business (which is not surprising given the majority of their business is Alberta based)?

3 – CU increased their dividend by 1 % and ATCO (which holds 52.2 % of CU) increased their dividend by 3.1 %. Does this make ATCO a better investment, given ATCO’s other divisions (Structures & Logistics and Neltume Ports) are providing better growth, leading to a higher increasing dividend rate, although a lower overall yield?

Thank you

Q: I just moved my RRSP over to Questrade from PH&N and have lots of cash to deploy (5+ year time line). For tax efficiency, I want to hold REITs, bonds, interest investments, US div stocks/ETFs, royalty income funds or any other investments that are not tax efficient in my MARGIN, TFSA and CORP accounts.
(1) Industrial REITs: I have half positions in DIR, GRT - should I diversify and also take positions in WIR and SMU or focus on DIR and GRT?
(2) Other REITs: Can you recommend any other quality value REITs? Is it a good time to invest in residential REITs?
(3) Can you recommend a good high yield bond ETF that has performed as well as PH&N High Yield Bond?
(4) Can you recommend some good value US div stocks (preferred) or ETFs? I am considering ABBV, PG, VZ.
Many thanks for any/all suggestions/comments!!!
