Q: Hi team
this stock has increased his /her dividend for many consecutive years

I am aware that ATCO which owns a big chunk of Cu.ca has taken a beating as well

do you think that the dividend is safe (wonder what is the pay out ratio)
and the yield is not too high

wonder what is the reasons for the recent pull back ?

do you think it is a value trap of it is safe to start a partial position

I am looking at dividend income as well as some capital appreciation
(try not to lose too much capital as I am retired)
thanks
I have already got FTS, EMA and NPI

Q: I am currently have a large position in Atco and it has been going down a lot since Covid. Going forward, what is your view of continuing to hold ACO.X vs a swap into FTS, ENB, AQN, or CU. Could a swap in either one or into a combination of these be of benefit for a long-term hold for a risk averse investor? What is your recommendation given the current valuations, recovery potential and future growth outlook?
Many thanks!

Q: Peter,

I own Atco, Algonquin Power, Fortis, Canadian Utilities , Emara and Brookfield Infrastructure. My concern is I am missing out on the renewables / green space companies. In the utility space what other recommendations you would give to ensure I am covered.

Thank you
Paul

Q: I'm looking to add another 5 quality dividend payers for the long term. Do you see any issues with my existing positions? SOME growth would be nice but secondary to dividend amount and safety of dividend. Industry and country are not important.

Thanks

Q: What one would you buy today for long term hold, total return in 5-10 years. Hard to imagine CU having any trouble continuing to grow the dividend with one of the longest track records in Canada. Already own FTS,AQN,BEP in other accounts this would be for an alternate account or should I just stick with adding more of the 3 already owned.
Thank you

Q: I presently own Fortis and was thinking of selling it for a profit and buying either CU or ACO in its place.

It would not change the asset allocation in my portfolio but would increase my total annual dividends (for income)

A. Can you give me your opinion on the swap, pros and cons of such a move

B. CU or ACO, which has better upside potential (rebound)

thanks

Q: Good Morning: Please share your opinion on this company as a buy/hold/sell at this present time. Comments related to dependability of earnings, given that they are an electricity supplier in a distressed market, dividend security, management expertise, etc. would be appreciated. I do know that they currently have the record for the greatest of no. of years for dividend increases for any cdn. company. Thanks, Don

Q: Could you please give me your opinion on these three companies in light of the current situation. I hold Cu and CHR, but not AC. I am particularly thinking of AC since post the virus, it would seem to be likely to recover significantly. Your thoughts?
Please charge as many questions as you deem appropriate.

Q: I own some CU. Knowing this, would ACO.X being more diversified, be good value at this price to hold as well as CU? Any thoughts on ACO management? They seem to have held up well in past "strained" markets and the dividend is nearing 5%. Good for a dividend investor?
