Q: Hello team,

I am looking for income in energy sector? i am leaning towards a investment in more of a gas related company than oil, I believe its a better longer term bet. The two companies i am most interested in are Keyera and Altagas. They both have been trending lower lately! What is the main difference in the two companies, and which is your favourite for a 3-5 year hold. Plus could both be owned? Do they compliment each other?

Thanks,
Stephen

Q: For diversification of U.S. blue chips I have been looking at a combination of HBF and ZWH. There is about a five company overlap in holdings, HBF is not as liquid or as diversified in its holdings, is smaller in size but pays a higher dividend. Income and reduced risk are my primary objectives. What are your thoughts on HBF, would it be desirable to hold both and if you were to consider a combination what percentage would you consider?
Thank you for considering my questions

Q: I know you are high on this co.,and i agree it is maybe cheap, but it is now off close to 30% of it's high and sinking fast to where it was 3 years ago, i know it is still up for the year, but what is it that the market does not like about this stock?. I find that many low p/e stocks are not the stocks that you want to hold,they are cheap for some reason.
Thanks again so much.

Q: Greetings 5i,
I currently hold half positions in both BCE and RCI.B (BCE for stability and RCI.B for growth). I am a fairly conservative investor, and like the telecom sector for its ability (at least in my opinion) to be somewhat defensive in more volatile markets.

In your opinion, is it worth it to hold both of these companies, or would you recommend a single holding at a full position? If the latter, which would you recommend I keep?

Thank you.

Q: Buy the dip. I hear this all the time. I understand and accept the concept of buying a stock which is down temporarily. But as a conservative investor, I look at the long lists of stocks on my watch lists and in a sea of red, my eyes are drawn to the green, to the stocks which keep chugging forward even on a day when the markets are way down. Unless there is some immediate news driving that stock, my inclination is to think "This is a stock with strong demand, and whose owners don't want to sell. I should buy that, not the ones which are dropping like rocks." What do you think?
