Investment Q&A

Q: ENB: What is the dividend payout ratio, please?

Q: are these stocks a buy at the present price?
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i,
I need to increase the following: ABBVIE, CCL, AQN. ENB. LSPD. and TCL. Some like LSPD I hold as a satellite as I am mostly a value investor but will take advantage of your suggestions on a good growth opportunity but smaller scale than my value equities. Please list the above in the order that I would slowly increase these holdings by $2,000 at a time.
thank you
Stanley

Q: I currently own both of the above securities in my RRSP account in equal weights. I want to sell one of them. I am leaning towards selling ENB because it will reduce 1 company risk, but on the other hand there probably would be more upside to ENB. The funds will be used to buy a growthier name in TECH. Which would you sell?
Still have 6 years before needing any funds from the RRSP

Q: Read an interesting article in the Financial Post about an energy company going from public to private. Can you enlighten me on the criteria / conditions when it is a better alternative?
Do you think that ENB could meet these criteria at some point?
Many thanks for your valued judgements

Q: I have 5-8% (20%total) positions on these utility type stocks; if we enter a melt-up type scenario in the markets? Would it be prudent to reduce my utility type exposure by selling 1/2 positions and invest in growth type names like Vtv, vfv, etc.? Or would it be in my best interest to hold steady and ride the curve and collect dividends, I'm approaching 70 years of age? Thank you!

Q: I noticed that SU and ENB were mentioned by your team as safe in capital preservation and dividends. Some analysts do point out that ENB has a high debt and therefore they conclude it is not as safe. Is this correct ?. In terms of safety, and long term investment (at least 5 years) which one would you preffer ?
Would you allocate 5% to each in a conservative porfolio ?, or less than 5% ?,
thanks

Q: I am a senior and am an income investor. I am interested in purchasing some minimum rate reset pref. Shares in quality companies. Your thoughts on this strategy as I am looking for a steady income stream. Would you recommend 3 or 4 with a minimum reset rate of at least 5% dividend rate that would qualify for the Canadian dividend tax credit as they would be purchased in a non registered account. I am also considering a purchase of ING-N shares in US funds in an RSP account. Your thoughts on the quality of this investment and the safety of the dividend and if there is any withholding tax,as this is a dividend play the fact that stock price can vary somewhat is not as relevant however capital preservation is always a consideration. In all of the above I would only start with buying a half position. Thank you, Brian

Q: Could you please rate the below as to capital preservation and dividend safety. comment on you choices if possible.
ENB,SU,VET,CHR,AD,SPB,BPY.
Thanks

Q: In reference to my last question you made a couple of suggestions. I parted ways with CHR and NFI. You also suggested that I lacked diversification in some areas. I have accumulated cash since my last question to be deployed at an appropriate time. I have listed again the stocks in which I am currently invested in. Percentage allocation in each was listed in my last question. I have wonder if you maintain an investment profile of your clients. Doing so would enable you to provide more appropriate advice and/or suggestions. It would negate the need for clients to keep repeating investment objectives. Thanks

Q: I hold all of the above in roughly equal weight in the income portion of my portfolio. The first three are at roughly breakeven, the latter five are up, two of them over 20%, as economic conditions have weakened. I am wondering why I don't simplify life by selling them all and buying the PDC ETF which provides greater diversification and has a dividend yield of 4.59%. I realize that 25% of PDC is in energy but mostly safer pipelines. Would this be a good move or am I better off to keep what I have?

Q: I have gains that account for two 8% positions in my TFSA in both CGI Group and Restaurant Brands. I was thinking of selling either CGI Group or Restaurant Brands and replacing that one position with three smaller positions in Constellation Software, Enbridge and Brookfield Infrastructure.

Would this be a move you endorse to increase dividend income and eps growth potential, and if so which of CGI Group or Restaurant Brands would you sell?

Thanks.

John

Q: Would you be comfortable for someone retired in their mid 50's to hold PKI rather than ENB in a RIF account?

Q: ENB is in my RRSP, I wonder about reducing this position, their problem might be longer term with unfavourable publicity exposure.
A loss position of Hexo is in the TFSA with ‘short sellers’ behind the scene’. I always thought that it would be a better stock, sell or hold?
Thanks Team!

Q: Hi 5i
I'd like your comment on ENB, why the share price keeps dropping?
Thanks as always!

Q: Any recent reason for Enbridge's decline the previous few days (industry or company news, analysts report, etc etc)?

Thanks.

Q: I have 50k to deploy from Crius. Amusing no overweight , time or sector considerations.
Top considerations
1. safety
2. income
3 less sensitive to recession
could you rate the above from best first.
PLEASE ADD OTHER OPTION THAT FIT THE CONSIDERATIONS
thanks you

Q: I am trying to figure out my sector distribution. I think that some stocks could be classified in a couple sectors. Could you please let me know what percentage of the following would you allocate to different sectors? For example, would you consider L to be 90% Cons Staples and 10% Healthcare?

L Cons Staples:Healthcare
CTC.A Cons Staples:Cons Discret
ENB Energy:Utilities
TRP Energy:Utilities
SIS Industrial:Healthcare

Are there any others of note that you can think of?

Thank you,

Fed

Q: For a better total return over the next 5 years would you have a preference of one of these over the other?

Q: At the current time, do you have a preference of one over the other as an investment (ignoring any other factors re portfolio construction)? thanks.
