Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on slate grocery? I'm looking for a dividend stock and this crossed my path.
If not this one, what would you recommend?
Thank you very much

Q: a number of questions related to the Slate family of companies.
1) What is the relationship to each other, and the purpose of the different Slate ticker symbols?
2) For SGR.un, are they impacted or could problems at SOT.un spill over to them?
3) For SGR.un their payout ratio is very high. i) have they shown forward finacials that imply this will come down? ii) if not do you have any data which suggests the dividend could be at risk? I am thinking of investing just for the dividend, and hope that the principal will simply hold where it is. Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on SGR.UN's recent earnings, during the call management indicated that their rents are well below market rates, which provides upside potential as those rents are renegotiated. The payout ratio is high, however, if rents can be increased the payout ratio would fall. Would you be fine holding it here, or is it time to move on to something with a safer dividend? If so what income stock would you recommend replacing it with?

Q: Can you provide an analysis of this REIT? What are the principal risks associated and is the dividend stable? Would this stock be considered “defensive” in nature? With a 9.7% dividend, is it something an income seeking retiree with a moderate risk tolerance should consider. Are there any less risk alternatives you would suggest?

Q: I must progressively restructurate a non-registrated portfolio, recovered in early 2022 for self-managing... Here are the percentage of each stock vs all portfolio, and also indications (+/-) if they are at a profit or at a loss on paper. stocks at profit are: BIP.UN (8% of portfolio), CM 5%, DIR. UN 3%, BIPC 1%, BCE 5%, ENB 2%, SGR.UN 1,5%. Stocks at a loss are: BN.PF.D (5% pf portfolio), TRP 1.5%, VET 1.2%.
My objectives are in order: stability, dividends, and some growth if possible.
Some stocks represent a probably too high percentage of the portfolio, I would not sell them “only to rebalance the portfolio” if they are still safe (to avoid non necessary capital gain tax), but I shall sell if they represent a risk. On the other hand, I would not sell stocks with a loss if they respond to my objectives.
I have already balanced a good part of this portfolio with ETF and a selection of stable dividend stocks. Those are the remaining stocks from the original portfolio..
Please give me suggestions for each stock according to objectives as : keep, sell, or sell partly. All of your comments are always greatly appreciated.
