Q: We always heard Buy Low Sell high. Will this apply to these two companies , being at their 5 yr. low? If they were to cut their dividend by 30%, their dividend will still be 4% +, and the price will drop even further. Would then be another time to scoop up some more?

Q: Greetings, the above companies are all currently held (among others) in a Canadian dividend growth portfolio. For new money, what would be your top 5 choices to add to today? Long-term hold, income and stability with growth potential are key criteria. Would also like to maintain some sector diversification.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Does the decline in Telus and Bell have any similarities to the decline in AT&T and Verizon about 6 months ago? I note that the US telecoms staged a nice comeback since. Would you expect the same or are the stories different?
Q: I believe BCE cut their dividend by 50% in 2008 during the financial crisis and restored it in 2009 the following year. In your opinion, is the company in the same financial condition as it was during the financial crisis of 2008 which may warrant a reduction in dividend? It looks like Telus also reduced their dividend during this crisis. Can you comment on why the management teams may have acted differently with their investor dividends. I would appreciate your thoughts.
Q: Currently down 15% on both. Make any sense to take a loss On tellus to double down On bell? Or hold or better some other suggestions for more recovery potential.?Tks. Larry
Q: I own both bell and telus. I would like to sell one for a tax loss but am not sure which one to sell. Which one has the most potential grown, preservation of its dividend, and safety?
thanks
thanks
Q: Lots of comments around that there may not be a lot of upside to the Telcos. And we know that covererd call etfs`s also have built-in limited upside. Any thoughts on swapping Telus for a covered call etf for income?

Q: My PA wants me in telecom. I had Telus but it dropped heavy and I harvested losses, investing in BCE only to continue down. I realize higher interest rates are a challenge for telcos and utilities. It there a case for any of the of Canadian telecoms? I have a long term investment horizon but do like safe dividends. Are the telcos dividends "safe"?Should I hold BCE or flee for another company, even in the US. (I have VZ, also in the down elevator, bigly). thanks, al
Q: In the past you had a slight preference for BCE over Telus in terms of a long term investment. After the latest results from the 2 companies, do you still have a preference for BCE?
Q: For a RRIF would you be a buyer of either of these companies now. If so which would you prefer.
Also can you suggest 3 or 4 other dividend paying stocks as well. Thank you.

Q: Compare and contrast BCE and Telus’s results.
Q: Telecommunication stocks in the US and Europe, such as AT&T and Vodafone, have consistently experienced a long-term downward trend. While investors appreciate the generous dividends, they are wary of the potential capital losses. The question arises: Will Canadian telecommunication stocks, like BCE and Telus, eventually mirror the trajectory of their US and European counterparts? Thank you.

Q: hi,
I hold all these, several fro many years. they are all in the red. many are (former) stalwart blue chip dividend plays. I am basically comfortable holding them, and I do expect a good rebound in prices when rates start to fall. 1) am I missing something? are there any in the list that you think the dividend may be in jeopardy, or you see no runway for growth ( small or large). 2) are there any in the list you would be comfortable adding to ( which is what I am wanting to do)?
cheers, Chris

Q: I own both BCE { up 2.37% in 7 years of ownership not including dividends } and T { up 15% in 7 years of ownership not including dividends } and am going to sell at least one. { Neither have been particularly exciting } .... I'm inclined to keep Telus but the current problems with TIXT are making me hesitate. Just how much do you think TIXT is going to effect Telus's earnings going forward ? And if it were " you " and you had to sell one which would it be ?

Q: I'm a retired somewhat conservative investor content with slow steady growth and a dividend helps as well. I have been happy with my diversified portfolio but constantly struggle with should I or should I not make these changes;
1. Sell T (non-registered account, tax loss) buy BCE?
2. Sell AAPL (in an RRSP) and buy NVDA?
3. Sell TD (non-registered account, tax loss) and buy BNS?
4. Sell ATZ and or DOO (both in a TFSA) and buy what?
Thank you

Q: Hello Team,
at the current prices, it seems to me that they are good entry point for both of these companies.
What is your opinion?
Telus yields a 6.3$ dividend at the current price and this is long term "income" investment.
I am also interested of your opinion on EFX following the steep drop in the stock price recently and also considering this week's announcement that they were able to dispose of Exterran Offshore at, what seems, a favorable price considering the expectations.
Thank you and I wish you and your families a very good year in 2024!

Q: Thank you for your quick response to my previous question. I would like to use excess cash in my RRIF to top up either Telus or Enbridge. May I have your opinion of their relative total returns for the next 1 to 3 years?
Thank you, JaneN
