Q: These stocks all have a dividend yield of 5% or greater and have market capitalization greater than 3 billion. When I see BNS with a dividend yield of 7.5% I have to think that the market is near a bottom realizing that the prices can always go lower. Please rate these stocks in two ways: safety of dividend and estimated 5-year total return. Do any of these stocks cause you any concern now or long term? Thanks.

Q: Good morning

Just to clarify and I will use ENB as an example. If I buy ENB on November 13th and sale the stock on EX dividend date which is Nov 14th will I receive the dividend?

Thanks
Jimmy

Q: Greetings:
You have had several questions concerning drips and the discounts allowed when the shares are purchased. I was advised by my discount brokers that they decide what companies will be put in their list of drips, and furthermore no discounts are provided unless the shares are held in your own name. All other drip programs are synthetic drips. Please elaborate.

Thank you,
BEN

Q: Good afternoon,

If one wanted to initiate a 1-2% portfolio weight in the Canadian energy space, would you be comfortable with CNQ, SU, WCP?

Q: This name is in both the 5i Income and BE portfolios at a 6% weighting yet yields under 1%, where no other stock in the Income portfolio comes close to. I understand it is the best performer in that portfolio and am wondering if it is there to 'juice up' the return on an otherwise mediocre performance. Could you confirm this rationale or explain the thinking, please.

Q: Hi 5i,
I’m sitting on a large cash position and want to take advantage of today’s opportunity to buy good Canadian businesses with great dividend yields. What are your top ideas today for dividend yield, and for dividend growth in Canada?

Thank you!

Q: Hello Peter,
Given the huge decline in shares of both stocks and your positive views on both stocks (despite short report on BIP), is it a good time to increase the weights to 5 percent for 3 to 5 year hold and collect the dividends while the stock gets the momentum.. Much appreciate it.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Given the recent drop in dividend stocks, I'm planning to set up a long-term income portfolio in a non-registered commission-free account. I realize your income portfolio would be a good place to start. However, I'm wondering if you could suggest 20 Canadian stocks, with a minimum yield of 3.5%, that you would purchase NOW. This list could include ETFs.

While the primary goal is income, I'm also looking for some long-term growth or, at the very least, to maintain my principal investment.

Also, I do realize the Canadian stock market does not allow for full sector diversification.

Please subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: Would appreciate your comments on the 3rd quarter 2023 financial results for WCN, Waste Connection Inc. The drop in the stock value would seem to indicate
that the market was disappointed. Is it still worth holding or has the outlook changed?
Thank you for your information.
