Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have a question about CGI, which I've held since 2013, so I've done very well with them, but they don't have a dividend policy, so I'm feeling that the capital gain that I have is being lazy and not working for me without any divvy income to offset. If I was going to sell half, what would you suggest would be a good 3 to 5 year replacement to consider? I tend to favour medium to large caps, and mostly dividend payers. I also have Open Text and Syzlogist as other tech holdings, in a fairly diversified portfolio that includes international and US etf's. I currently do not have any resource/energy (I was thinking Vermillion) or consumer (I was thinking Loblaws or Metro, Dollarama looks expensive still)holdings.

thank you,

Q: I would like to purchase some dividend paying stocks for a non-registered account. What would be your top five recommendations for dividend paying stocks (minimum 3.5 % payout) that are also likely to have some capital appreciation over the next 3 years. Please do not include pipeline or financial stocks as I all ready have these two areas well covered. Also, are your recommendations good buys at this time.

Thanks

Q: Hi team,
I hold these 4 stocks in my portfolio for my energy sector. Is this too much and if so, which one should I dump? All 4 total about 8% of my portfolio.
Thanks

Q: Hi team, I don't have much energy exposure and am looking to add this to the portfolio. I am looking for something that has some growth potential as well as income. I was thinking about VET or WCP, which of these 2 do you prefer right now, or are there others that you would recommend.
Thanks

Q: Can you give me a couple of ideas for oil E&P exposure

Q: I have no energy exposure in my portfolio since 2014. I sold all of WCP, RRX, VET, SGY late 2014 and never went back. I am thinking about gradually stepping back into energy but not in a hurry or big way. I am a growth investor and have no issue with risks. Should I buy CNQ, SU etc big names or stay with smaller ones like WCP, VET etc. or just use an ETF like XEG? Thanks.

Q: Good morning everyone. I am interested in buying a few different energy stocks. I’m in my early senior years - but do not mind some risk.
Have room in my TFSA and RSP accounts.
Enjoy your diligent reporting and investigation
Thank you

Q: Energy Sector - I am hearing that in 2020 the IMO will be enforcing ban on ships that use fuel with higher sulfur content. To take advantage of this can you recommend refiners that will benefit as well those oil companies producing more light oil. Thanks AJD

Q: I currently have a 12% weighting in Energy. 60% of which is split between ENB and PKI as my core holdings and the remaining 40% split between VET, WCP, TOG, RRX and CJ. I am comfortable with the ENB and PKI but I am wondering if I should make any changes to the other 5 holdings. Drop one or two of the weakest and concentrate on the remaining 3 or 4 stronger names? Trim all 5 and add another name? I am hoping the oil rally continues and I want to be in the best position to take advantage of it.
Many Thanks
Scott
