Q: Hello Peter & Team

Have held T since Nov 2022. I am in the red 25%. Appreciate the dividend, but do not enjoy the capital loss. Read lots of comments in 5i answered questions and the overall sentiment appears to be positive. Do I keep holding this issue? Or sell and move on. And if I am advised to move on, what alternative would you recommend with a similar dividend?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Given we may have seen the worst of the tariffs, is now a time to start buying CNN? Given the lower guidance provided today, there may be an opportunity to purchase sharers at a lower price. If the stock down come in tomorrow, would you suggest it may be a good time to accumulate shares? Or, is it still in a wait and see mode?

Q: COST has fallen about 10% in the last 6 weeks or so. This seems to be more than what I would expect from volatility in the course of things. Has there been any news to lead to this? Do you think it is a tariff story? In questions over time, even recently, you have given it a favourable endorsement; do you still have that view, and if so, why? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I’m approaching retirement and looking to shift my portfolio away from value and growth-focused investments toward an income-oriented strategy. My primary goal is to generate regular, reliable cash flow through dividend-paying stocks, rather than relying on capital appreciation.

I’d appreciate your recommendations on the following:
• Your top 10 Canadian dividend-paying stocks suitable for income investing
• Suggested sector allocations for building a balanced and diversified income portfolio

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Q: Good morning,

BCE seems to have broken up out of a wyckoff base lately. Do you happen to have any news of improvement in the company to support this price movement? I read that there’s been a little rotation into defensive stocks recently, but who knows.

Thank you!

Q: Given the current Political/Fiscal/Demographic environment, I want to deploy funds to services that cater to seniors. The caveats are: 1) Taxable Account; 2) Cdn. $s; 3) To hold for 5+ years; and 4) Dividends of both seem reasonable, but are future prospects comparable, given relative financial strength and current governance? Thank you for your support and the questions from my fellow subscribers with your responses. Bill
