Q: On BNN recently this stock was recommended. I liked his justification.
I read some of your responses to questions from last year. I understand management had an issue and paid a fine and CEO replaced.
A statement I read was that currently their payout ratio is well above 100%.
I get the feeling you are not enamoured by this company.
Can you please confirm I) payout ratio and ii )your feeling is maybe hold off until fundamentals improve.
Thanks

Q: Looking at the insider trading of Enbridge Directors, I noted that the number of shares held by the Directors in May 2024 was over 900,000. The corresponding number of shares held by Directors on February 20, 2025 dropped to about 210,000.
Can you please comment with respect to inside trading at this company ? Is the drop in the number of shares held by the directors an issue ?
Thanks

Q: I own TOU and TPZ and like them both for long term holds. TOU was recently added to the 5i income portfolio. Why go with TOU as apposed to TPZ, which is more of an income structured investment. Do you feel that TOU will offer a better total long term return both with respect to their dividend and capital appreciation?

Thanks.
