Q: Greetings 5i: Other than last week's cancellation of their share buyback and negative market conditions, are there any reasons you're aware of that would cause AT&T to be significantly below its 5 year low this morning? Thanks. Rick.

Q: Re A.T.&T. (symbol T not in your database) states in cancelling a large share repurchase "impacts of pandemic could be material & unable to estimate impact on results."
I would have thought a telecom would see increased business from its various services and not be in a bind like this. What is the 5i take on this and would other telecoms be in the same boat as T?

Q: Hi 5i
Recent takeovers have left me with uninvested funds. I'm looking to re-invest that cash into income generating (US stocks preferably) undervalued positions providing 3 - 5 % dividends.
What would you suggest I have a look at ?
Also, PA shows that I'm light on utilities and telecoms but the suggestions don't need to be limited to these sectors.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Looking for some safety if we have a serious downturn. Like others, I appreciate growing dividends and some growth. Looking to add DIS, T, WMT, OR HD to my American holdings. Do you have any major concerns with any of these companies and would you please rate them best to worst based on my investment criteria.
Have yourselves a great weekend.

Q: Hi, you had a comment on AT&T late July and I was wondering, with recent weakness, what the fundamentals look like for this company now. Do you see long term value here? If you think this is a stock with limited prospects going forward, do you have another US income stock (any sector) that might make for a better replacement? Many thanks. Michael

Q: Your thoughts on the court ruling in favour of AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner please. With the price drop today it yields 6% with a P/E of 7. Seems attractive. Can you offer any insight as to why the markets hold it so out of favour?
Read Answer Asked by Marco on June 13, 2018
Q: I read the blog post on best US dividends.

5) IVZ - Invesco Ltd
4) AMAT - Applied Materials
3) T - AT&T
2) WBA - Walgreens Boots Alliance
1) CAH - Cardinal Health

What do you think of these? If I bought US Cash now to get some exposure are these relatively safe to hold for income and potential growth in the next 1 – 5 years?

I searched past questions on a few of these and I didn’t necessarily see 5i recommending them. Interested to know your thoughts / ranking.

Thanks.
