Q: I hold full positions in ENB and TRP, which I deem as utilities based on their function as transportation of energy products rather than exploration/development. I have been looking at AQN for a while now, and I am debating on selling one of ENB or TRP to start a position. ENB has taken a fair hit in the last couple of months, but it pays a strong dividend, and as far as I am aware, is still committed to increasing its dividend over the next couple of years. TRP is a solid company and steady performer, which is why I am somewhat reticent to make a switch. AQN could potentially offer more growth, but ENB and TRP are known commodities. The dividend yields between AQN and TRP are quite similar, with the yield of ENB being much higher, but if AQN is poised for greater growth, which, of course, is a big "if", I would be willing to forego a higher yield for greater growth. Would AQN act as a better holding than either ENB or TRP?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Excerpt from MarketWatch : "the Senate looks set to consider sweeping new legislation that could ultimately bar many Chinese companies from listing shares on U.S. exchanges, or otherwise raising money from American investors." I own ADRs in JD.com and I'm starting to wonder what would happen if they were delisted from the NASDAQ as a result of the above. I fear being stuck with my shares in the company and not be able to sell them at some point in the future. Should I sell them now as a precaution?

Q: As a retiree with a balanced portfolio, I hold SIS and wonder if there are better longer term opportunities in this market. I like SIS's demographic market position and strong balance sheet. Covid-19 may entice more seniors to stay at home longer, which could help SIS. But I have concerns. The firm's international growth will challenge their Board and management to deal with greater complexity. They have a new CFO and SIS did not have much to say about the person in their announcement. The CEO owns a large share position, and the company's payout ratio seems high. All in all, I'm wondering if I should move on and sell. What do you think of my assessment? Anything else I should be considering? Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and co,
Thank you for your excellent advice. My grandson has opened a TFSA over the last few months, and now holds the following stocks (listed in order of value, largest first). He is in the enviable position of being up on every one of his positions, in part thanks to your wise advice (and some lucky timing)! With a bit of cash (~$2300) remaining to invest, he is looking for a recommendation, targeting growth and diversification.
He is considering these: LSPD, JPM, CAE, MDT, VET, PXT
But we would be more interested in hearing your advice, so please feel free to ignore the list above, and make a suggestion for 1 or 2 stocks to add.
Thanks,
Ed.
