Q: What are your thoughts on CUV? They have raised some cash recently and are awaiting confirmation of DA’s that may hold promise moving forward. Just curious on your overall thoughts of this company both now and into the future. Thx.

Q: Hello Peter and team, Considering the tax changes going on in the US, in general terms, what kind of impact would you anticipate for above Utility sector stocks

Q: Hi 5i: Thanks for the recommendations regarding US insurance companies. Unfortunately, your recommendation of Aflac came just before news that some employees were accusing Aflac of some malfeasance, with lawyers now investigating. Such events cannot of course be foreseen. I guess it would be wise to hold off any investment until more info is available. Do you have any updates on this issue yet? Many thanks.

Q: Hi,
I am a big believer in the benefits of holding shares of solid companies with DRIP and SPP plans. As such, for part of our investment portfolio, we currently hold BNS, BMO, FTS, and SU in these direct registered plans. I would like to add other companies to these, with a 10-15 year holding period. Looking for your thoughts on the following that offer both DRIP and SPP plans.
CAE- Seem financially solid and long term returns have been good
ALA/EMA- Does it make sense to add one of these since I hold FTS already? If so which would you recommend?
ENB/TRP- Best option for security and rising dividends in a rising rate environment?
T/BCE- Best choice for growth and dividends?
IAG/SLF/MFC- Over the long term, (I think my screener went back to 2000), IAG has dramatically outperformed in share price appreciation, but dividend is lower. Your choice here?
Deduct credits as required.
Kind Regards

Thanks

Q: 5i has not been too constructive on Airboss of late, and Ryan suggested on BNN that the management didn't really have their act together. What would you suggest as a switch for better growth potential. Does not need to be in the same sector or same level of risk. What do you feel has long term growth potential.
Thanks

Q: I have sold Pure Industrial AAR.UN due to pending take-over. What would you recommend as a replacement for industrial?

Q: Update please

Q: Good Evening
I am an income investor.
I own SO for several years. They have never cut their dividend and to the contrary increase their dividend every year.
I am perplexed as to why Goldman Sachs recommends that investors sell Southern.
Is there something we are not aware of.
Thanks

Q: Hello, what do you think of VersaBank ? Can you comment on the valuation and growth prospect over the next few years. Thank you.

Q: While I know BEP is a larger company, could you please compare these two in terms of debt, safety of dividend and stock price and potential problems?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Hi team

Curious about falcon oil, It did well a short while ago, but has been trailing down. Do you see any upside. I have a small position which I acquired many years ago. Wondering if I should stay or cut my losses. Thanks

Q: I am interested in buying GWO but wonder if I should be buying PWF instead? PWF has a holding company discount of over 15% which seems to imply that I am getting IGM “for free”. But then there is a discount on POW too and I don’t understand the two-level holding company structure -can you explain this? Why does POW not issue POW shares to PWF holders to eliminate one of the levels? Out of GWO, PWF and POW, which one would you buy?

Q: Appreciate an update on Seagate as it appears to be getting some attention and some trading activity.
