Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, was thinking of buying some IPL for some income and growth (50-50). What are your thoughts on company as far as debt,management ,and future stability, when we have a market correction.
Would hold for longer term 3-4+ years. Or would ENB be a better option with lower dividend.
Thanks

Q: Looking to add a 3% position in a growth/dividend company. I am targeting the above companies, which has the best and most predictable yield and capital growth?

Q: ENB had decent results,but market response was muted.Any reason? & is this a good time to start a position? KXS missed on eps,but beat on many metrics.Initially it jumped to $82.14 then closed much lower @ $74.62. Any reason? Is it ok to start a position here?

Q: Please comment on earnings. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
I am buy & hold investor. With quarterly results out for couple of mentioned companies, do you think any of these stocks don't fit in that category anymore irrespective of sector or there are better ones ?

Thanks

Q: Hello. Currently overweight technology and underweight materials, energy, consumer cyclical and consumer non-cyclical. Looking for a couple of suggestions for each sector. Long term (15+ years) hold, medium to higher risk, Canadian or U.S. I currently have full positions in CCL.B, TSGI and ATD.B and partial positions in TOY and PBH. Thanks.

Q: I am just starting to invest into my TFSA and will not need the assets for at least 7 to 10 years. I would like growth and can say I am a moderate risk taker. I have small positions in the four stocks and I was also contemplating a position in BCE. Would you be able to suggest at least four other stocks or etf's to diversity my account.

Q: I am wondering what you think of the recent results for Alta Gas and whether you would consider it worth an investment. Considering it relative to ENB would you still prefer the later for better investment performance?
Many thanks.
Mike

Q: I have a half position in both of these companies. I am looking to increase one of them to a full position. Which one would you choose and why?

Thanks Ken

Q: I have all these stocks in my non-registered account, I have some money to deploy. My two smallest holdings are CP and WCN, should I add to either one or would you suggest a new stock?

Q: I was stopped out on ENB a while ago but now would like to reenter the sector. Which pipeline company would you buy today for some growth as well as the steady dividend ?
Thanks

Q: Top 4 stocks for my 18 year old son just starting to invest with a long time horizon
Thanks Terry

Q: Thank you for for answer yesterday about setting up my parent's investments. To summarize, they are very conservative, above 80 years old, and looking for safety and income.

I would now like to ask you about the distribution of the equity component of the investments (composing only 17% of the total, the rest being in bonds, preferred, and GICs). Those below are all in equal weight. What do you thing?

BEP.UN, BCE, BNS, CM, CU, ENB, TRP
XHC for healthcare exposure
IWO for US growth
VGG for US exposure
XEF (in a half position) for international exposure
VEE (in a half position) for emerging market exposure

Could you please suggest some more to round things out? I need another 5 or 6 stocks.


Also, do you have any objection to using ZAG and HYGH as bond substitutes for their conservative portfolio? I am buying individual preferred shares for that component.

Thank you once again,

Q: I am overweight quite a bit in Enbridge and since I am underweight in Telus I am will be selling some Enbridge to cover the cost of buying Telus shares. What % would be the maximum for holding ENB? I am looking at replacing Enbridge with other dividend paying stocks and could you tell me what other dividend stocks would be a good replacement for Enbridge. ( do not need any in the energy or utilities sector)

Thanks

Q: Hello . My house is paid off. I would like to set up a reverse mortgage or home equity loan to cover the cost of running it. Which 5 dividend payers would you recommend for my project? Is my plan reasonable and which is better home equity loan or reverse mortgage? Much thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi,

I currently own all 4. If you were to pair down to two, which two would you have in an RRSP and why?

Thank you!

Q: What do you think about the pipeline companies at this time?
They have had a nice recovery from Dec 2018 until now.
Good time to get in ?

Q: Please comment on the recent downgrade TRP received from Moody's citing TRP's weak financial profile to Baa1. Debt to EBITDA is expected to be 5x in 2019, ENB is about the same. Moody's downgraded ENB to just above junk about a year ago to Baa3. It would seem Moody's feels 5x EBITDA is not good, Shouldn't we avoid these companies?

Q: I own 800 SHS of ENB in my non-registered acct.: had for 10 years - added to original position a couple of years ago to bring to current 800 SHS. Also own same number of TRP SHS - same scenario. Added together both a small % of total portfolio. Sitting on a lot of cash and was thinking of increasing ENB to 1000 SHS. Also own: BNS, BMO, CM, T, BCE, IFC, TCL.A & NFI in this account: last 2 were added last Jan.

Q: Is ENB still safe to hold as Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer has stopped work on line 5 beneath the Straits of Mackinac and might stop oil and gas flow altogether.
