Q: I’m a62 year old retired investor with an excellent DB Pension and I’m working on a supplemental cash flow with my TFSAs,I have held the above stocks for about 4 years all roughly 10-12K in value and have been set up as DRIPs
My question is could you recommend another 8-10 Cdn dividend stocks($ 100K of room) I would add to this account coming from another TFSA,these could possibly have 4-6 % capitol growth and 4-6% dividend yield and in 3 years I would go from a DRIP to monthly or quarterly cash payments,I am medium risk and the sectors would not matter ….Thanks Greg

Q: The way things look right now, it is difficult to see how energy and materials (mining) won’t play a major role in keeping Canada afloat. It seems we have things the world needs/wants if we can get over our distaste for being prosperous. I’m wondering if you can suggest some “pick and shovel” plays in the space generally?

Q: Articles recently that American companies might start looking at Canada again as some of their shale plays are slowing down . They list the Montney and Duvernay as the top plays . What would be your two top picks for each of these ?

Q: want to raise some cash(tech breaking down technically) in what order would you sell the above listed stocks bearing some are winners and some are losers so what your recommendation sell winners or losers first without getting in to too much specifics. CSU as an example sell now to claim loss or then buy back after 30 days FFH on the other hand is up 60% so sell now and hope to buy back later at lower price. what would you do? Remember i want to raise cash so how would you approach this rebalancing ...thanks for your help

Q: Hi not impressed with NRGI am down 20% and have been invested since inception.

Also up 20% on ARX and even on TOU+ down 35% on LMN thinking of selling ARX and NRGI + LMN and buying more TOU and CSU/CLS What's your thoughts on this change going FWD

Q: Good morning, could you please identify 8 "safer" companies you see at or close to the bottom of their trough at this time that have a dividend (% of dividend does not matter)? For example my guess would be CNR which was at $178 in March 2024 and now at $135 with a yield of 2.63% at this price.
Thx,
Kevin

Q: A retired friend of mine recently asked for my recommendations on how to invest approximately 200K which, with minimal risk, which will give him a reasonable (4.5% to 5.0%) annual dividend with minimal expectations of big capital growth, Since he currently has very little experience with investments, I would like to build a portfolio that will require minimal ongoing involvement on his part. I believe that a 10-15 year timeframe is realistic.

My thought is to split the 200K into 10 equal parts and purchase the following Canadian equities.

BNS
TD
GSY
CNQ
TOU
ENB
FTS
T
CCA
BEPC

I realize that a portfolio like this is overweight on energy. I'm comfortable with that.

What are your thoughts on this strategy and do you see any of the companies listed that you would avoid? Are there any others that you think should be added to the list?

Q: Bought a small position in Sept. (1000 shs) @ $63.00 per share. Only O&G stock I own based on LNG and ample supply of N.G.

Q: Hi, looking to trim one of these holdings too many, could you please rank these companies from least liked to best . Risk and Sector not an issue. Keeping the remaining for long term.
Thanks

Q: Hated BEPC for so long as I was down for many years after buying during the big hype for renewables when Biden was elected. Now, kicking myself for not buying more at the lows. My question is whether this has now run too high. Is there still a place for traditional oil and gas/nat gas in one's portfolio or for a young person (20's) should these be replaced with BEPC? Thoughts and buy price, please. Thank you!

Q: HI group i own the above stocks in the energy sector. Unfortunately some of them are lagers > Particularly NRGI ( down 23% have owned since inception???what gives Erik) Also worried about ARX ( Presently )up 36% but dropping rapidly in the last 6 months TOU ( breaking even but worried about performance as of late

ENB + FTS seem to me hanging in there So my question is what changes should i make while the sector is down and out. What should i do sell NRGI and buy TOU OR? (you suggestion please also should i keep or buy something else in the sector another thought is to ARX sell to buy TOU or ALT

Lastly the great AWAKING OF NATURAL GAS APPEARS TO ME TO BE STALLED YOUR COMMENTS AND SUGGESTION ON WHERE THE PRICE OF NATURAL GAS IN GENERAL IS GOING STALLED AND WHAT I SHOILD DO WITH MY ENERGY PORTFOLIO PLEASE thanks FOR YOUR HELP

Q: I am an income investor and am overweight energy at 13.82% of my portfolio. FRU (4.63), CNQ (1.93), ENCC (1.17), TOU (2.72), EMAX (3.37). How would you reduce the energy holdings down to a more reasonable 5-7%?

Thank You, Jim
