Q: I have a $50K bond maturing next week in a non-registered account and plan to re-deploy the cash amongst the six equity holdings already in that account for long term hold. Are there any amongst the group that I should hold-off on, or are there any that I should over-weight?

Q: Hello 5i,

I am looking to add one name to my income portfolio and the names mentioned above come to mind.
I own TD, ENB and FTS, so have a representation in the sectors. I would like a high dividend (who doesn't) and a dividend grower too.
Would you have a favorite amongst these or would prefer another name?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: I am looking for a position in my income portfolio and would like to choose from CPX, CM and TD.
It would seem that Canada is heading into a recession and that would affect the bank earnings, more significantly CIBC than the others.
CPX on the other hand has missed earnings, maintained guidance and has dropped and likely to recover?
Which one would you choose to add?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Brookfield was a significant beneficiary of large investments in clean power from the tech giants. Do you see other utilities in Canada or US benefiting similarly in the future? It seems that the utilities space offers a potentially stable growth space going forward with power demand going up. Is this worth the effort, for example, compared to chips or software as a growth investment avenue.

Q: Hi, I have CPX and have considered switching in the past to FTS or H , because of your ranking. However in the last 5 years it has doubled in price and has a great dividend. Hydro One seems to be keeping pace but has a much lower dividend. Just wondering what I’m missing and would you be more comfortable with a switch to H or FTS. Thanks

Q: Currently I hold Fortis (FTS), Hydro One (H), NextEra (NEE), and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN) in the utilities space. I have been thinking of adding Capital Power (CPX). Could you please rank the five in terms of best overall expected return over the next few years? Would you consolidate any? Thank you.

Q: Those excellent Cies, and others in various sectors, could be significantly punished if the US law bill 899 were adopted by the US senate with no change..Curiously, the valuations of those Cies are not compromised to this day , maybe because it is still too early, and that all this would only start in early 2026....What strategy do you suggest concerning all Cies that have significant US revenues in general ,before any official US senate confirmation? Your point of view shall be extremely appreciated !
