Q: Hello
I was looking at your 5i Stock Screener: Canadian Utilities Companies That Are in a Solid Financial Position, and was stunned to see that Fortis is missing from the list. 5i are constantly recommending FTS as a "best" company with a 50+ history of dividend increases so is there a problem with it, so not on the list. What would it's numbers be if it were on the list. Please explain
Thanking you............ Paul W K

Q: In a world where indebted dividend-payers are being stressed by higher rates, how would you rank the following Canadian companies in terms of the sustainability of their dividend?

RY, TD, BMO, BNS, SRU.UN, FCR.UN, BCE, Telus, FTS, EMA, BEP.UN, BIP.UN, ALA, ENB, TRP, PPL, GEI

Q: In a year BEP.UN down 32.22 % , FTS down
3 .65 %. Why the difference; BEP.UN initially overpriced FTS “ underpriced “, green stocks way out of favour, etc? I own a fair amount of BEP.UN and do want to sell but if there is something fundamentally wrong with this company I don’t want to hold on until it’s a penny stock or something like AQN happens. I imagine Flatt and others are wringing their hands and hope they do something to improve the share price.
Thanks. Derek

Q: We are dividend investors in our late 70’s. We derive most of our income from dividends. Recently we sold about 200,000. Worth of Enbridge and are looking to reinvest. We have short listed some companies above and would like your opinion on them. Also if you have any other suggestions we would welcome your ideas. We are looking for solid companies with a good dividend that also increase their dividends.

Hello.. I really like the idea of a nicely balanced "mom" equity portfolio. You mentioned FTS for example. Could you please suggest what stocks you would put in it mainly for dividend income [hopefully yielding 4.5% or better] and enough growth to counter inflation over the long term.
Thank you............ Paul W K.

Q: Can you characterize these two utility companies? Wondering in how much difference/overlap there may be, geographic exposures, etc.. Would you have a preference considering allowed regulatory growth, dividend safety/growth? Thanks!

Q: We’re seeing more and more municipalities in BC ban natural gas installations in new houses as a climate change tactic. Fortis talks about getting more supply from renewable gas but they won’t be selling to new homes. That don’t have gas appliances. Do you think this will eventually amount to a material concern for Fortis and other gas suppliers?
