Q: I noticed that LIF had dividends paid as follows: April past-50 cents, January past 70 cents, last October 1.00 and last July 90 cents.

So was this a dividend cut in April, or were the other amounts special dividends?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: Can you confirm for me if the price of Enbridge (ENB:CA) was above $60 in April 2015 please?

The 10 year ENB:CA chart I see on the 5i website (and on the Stockcharts website) appears to be quite different than the price chart I see in my BMO Investorline (/ Koyfin, the barcharts website, and a quick google search).

First time I’ve ever noticed something like this, so I’m just confused and wondering which chart is the correct chart to follow? Thanks for your help.

Q: Retired dividend-income investor. We hold AQN in my wife's RRSP...held it since 2011...bought it at $5.60 and trimmed it several times over the years.

I am debating whether to flush it and take the proceeds and buy ZUT. I also own FTS, TRP and other utility-energy equities contained within ZLB and CDZ.

For the "keep AQN" argument = a) good momentum YTD = +27%, b) great chart, especially with the 50 mda overlay, c) if there is a take-over of AQN, there is a probable premium of "who knows "% (30%?).

For the "flush AQN" argument = a) with other planned cash injections throughout 2023, this would improve my overall sector allocations, b) minor point, but it would simplify my portfolio, by the elimination of a holding (I hold a reasonably concentrated portfolio of 12 blue chip stocks and 10 ETF's, plus fixed income), c) I thought I read that AQN is not expected to have a high rate of growth this year, d) the holdings inside ZUT look appealing, containing both renewable and non-renewable.

I am ok letting it ride for a while longer, but also ok flushing it. Your thoughts? Am I missing anything? I know you can't compare a single stock to a diversified ETF.

Thanks for your help...much appreciated...Steve

Q: How stable is the $2 dividend, currently yielding 8%?

Any similar etf you would consider to be a better choice for income and some growth?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Are there any good ideas that are publicly traded to participate invest in productive farm land? In an ideal world, such a vehicle would pay a dividend also.

Thanks!

Q: Why do you see the markets react so negatively to the Pal Air agreement with AC, or is it another reason?
Cheers, Chris

Q: Juicy dividend, good balance sheet. Would you recommend this one? Risks? Thanks.

Q: I am looking for a couple of US dividend-paying companies that provide decent yields for retirement income. Several of the companies that you have suggested are providing growing dividends and some equity growth but the yields are low. I am currently looking at AMGN, BX and EXR. I am leaning towards BX as I think property could be poised for growth but I am concerned that the dividend seems to jump around. Were special dividends paid in the past few years or has the payout been negatively affected by declining rental income?

Which of the three would you prefer given the desire for increased income, stability of income, future dividend growth and some equity growth? (or are there other suggestion you may have)

Appreciate your insight.
