Looking for a long term hold, preferably lo-volatility and some growth. I own the banks, AQN, BAM, and ZQQ. Can you recommend your top two picks and why?

Q: Peter; Not really a question but some info on FTS. There is an article in the NYT weekend edition entitled The New Chapter in an Energy Fight which details the fight between power companies trying to build gas powers plants vs renewable ones- Tucson Electric - a sub of FTS now - are building a solar and storage plant for a very low rate vs gas . They are way ahead of the curve .

Q: Hi
I hold all these stocks in a non registered account, to take advantage of their dripping and tax advantages. I have the $ to buy another holding. What top 3 companies do you suggest to add to this mix for a long term hold, my goal is the highest dividend possible, with as little risk as possible. Also, do you have any issues with the compaies already held? I also have other growthier holdings in my tfsa as well as etfs for US and International exposure in my RRSP.
thank you

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

I hold BNS, BEP.UN, FTS, KXS, PBH and TRP in my child's RESP account and it has been performing quite well. With another 8 years to go, should I just add to the existing positions or add something else?

Thanks.

Q: I am aiming for a 20-stock (or slightly less) portfolio of dividend payers. So each position will be 5% or slightly more.

In the pipeline / utility sectors I currently have ENB, TRP and BEP.UN. I am hoping to add one of the stocks below. I have a preference for good dividend growth and good management, but would prefer not to have too much overlap with BEP.UN if possible. Mind you, I suppose BEP.UN is quite diversified geographically which might make a case for being different anyway (your opinion ?). Which one would be the best fit, or is BEP.UN enough ?......

Canadian Utilities (CU)
Fortis (FTS)
Emera (EMA)
Algonquin Power (AQN)

Thanks.
Jim

Q: Based on current evaluations, would you swap FTS for ENB? Currently, also own BEP. I have owned FTS for a few years and have no concerns but wondering if ENB might provide a bit more upside (and larger dividend) at this point with a minimal change in risk. Owned in RRSP so no tax issues and doing this for a long term hold.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm looking at adding a blue chip company and I'm down to either TRI or FTS. My main emphasis is growth in the next three years and view dividend yield as a "fringe benefit". Since TRI have a major run up in the last year or so, can that momentum be sustained, hence FTS may be a better choice at this juncture? What's your view? Are there other names I should consider as well? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

In my TFSA, I have some cash on hand and own the following stocks FTS, KXS, PBH, PHO, SIS and WPK, that are about equally weighted.

In light of the talk of a potential downturn at the moment, would you advise to add to any of the positions or should I open another position in some stock that you would recommend or should I just wait?

Q: Looking to add TRP ( already have ENB ) to my RRSP for some income but am somewhat concerned if there were to be a recession - would this be considered a "Utility " thus less likely to take a hard hit or would I be better looking at BEP.UN, FTS, AQN or EMA and if so, which would you recommend at this time ? Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Q: Could you provide me with a few examples of companies or sectors which could be considered blue chip, dividend paying, non-cyclical? I would like to move some of my cash to these types of stock. I currently have a 30%+ cash balance overall.

Thank you......Ron

Q: Hello there,
For the above stocks, which are in my RRSP, gains in about a year are 15%, 37%,26% and 15% respectively. I didn’t plan it but just happened to buy approx $5k in each of these on a near 52 week low I guess.
I read a comment about letting your winners run, but also am learning about taking profits and not being greedy for more.
What do you look for to make a smart decision, please?
In the examples given, are any obvious sells or keeps?
Thank you for your help!

Q: I hold all of the above in roughly equal weight in the income portion of my portfolio. The first three are at roughly breakeven, the latter five are up, two of them over 20%, as economic conditions have weakened. I am wondering why I don't simplify life by selling them all and buying the PDC ETF which provides greater diversification and has a dividend yield of 4.59%. I realize that 25% of PDC is in energy but mostly safer pipelines. Would this be a good move or am I better off to keep what I have?
