Q: I wish to add more energy stocks to my portfolio for diversification. I have ENB and SU. I am thinking of adding GXE, PXT & TOU, all three seem to have very low or no debt, and either PPL or TRP. All for a 5-year hold. I do enjoy the high dividend yield but would still wish to have some growth and safety. Please feel free to add or remove any from my list of your choice, rank them from the best to the least, and each with a reasonable entry price. How long of a time frame would you recommend to spread over the additions?

Thank you again for your insight.

Q: I've been building out a sub portfolio in my registered account with the above stocks. It's hard to turn down 5-7% yields + growth potential.

Do you perceive any major crossover/risk with the holding all of the above / should I consider consolidating?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I'm helping my son build a dividend portfolio with stocks to hold long term. Would like to add a couple of pipeline names, with ENB, TRP, and PPL at the top of the list. I've read most of your previous comments on these companies, and most money managers I see on BNN speak favourably on these names in terms of sustainability of the dividends. What I don't hear mentioned often, however, is just how full these pipelines are - are they fully contracted, with no spare capacity to transport more oil and gas, or is there "slack" in the system? What's the outlook looking forward for just how full these pipeline networks will be? It would seem to me that cash flow and dividend sustainability in the future will largely depend on how full the pipeline networks are. How would you rank these companies on that basis?

Q: I am sitting on significant cash holding. I understand that predicting the bottom is not a strategy, but I am looking at taking advantage of the recent pullback.

Given that most predict we are heading into a recession, is deploying 1/3 of the cash at this point a good strategy and deploying the remainder over the next 6 months.

I am looking for Income and growth over the next 3 to 5 years. I was looking at FTS, BIP, SLF, ENB, AQN, RY, TD, BCE. Is there any of these names you would not buy now?

Thanks

Q: Can you provide a 'buy' list for a person wanting to deploy $200,000 (inside RRSP) with the goal of creating 5% or more sustained cash flow - as well as growing the original capital to keep up with inflatiion? We do not have company pensions - this would serve to supplement our government pensions.
Thinking, 20 stocks across all sectors @ $10,000 each (or 5%)
Also could you include 10 growth stocks (inside TFSA) for a total of $250,000 - gotta have some fun ;)
Many Thanks

Q: Enbridge is the only pipeline stock that I currently own. I am looking to buy more. Before I do, do you think the TC Energy involvement in the Kitimat LNG project makes it a better investment right now? Would you consider owning both?

Thanks,

Q: Good Morning,

As the market gets beaten down yields on some very good companies are becoming difficult to ignore.

With a recession in sight yields could possibly get even better.

I am retired and an income investor sitting on substantial cash.

What would be your preferred course of action at this time?

What companies would be most attractive to you?

Thanks

Q: I have one income account where I have a core of stable companies (BNS, BCE etc.,) and strategically move into beat up names where the yields are temporarily very high due to what I anticipate to be a short term fall in the share price. Generally I am looking for something over 6% in this equation at the time of purchase. Do you see any candidates for such a strategy? Thank-you. Love your service btw. Best money I have ever spent.
