Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In Saturday's Globe and Mail, David Berman wrote an article called "BCE’s dividend yield is back above 6 per cent. Here’s why that’s a buy signal" Portfolio Analytics indicates that we're low in the Communications Services sector, and given that Berman's back-dated numbers are compelling, we're wondering if now would be a good time to buy some more BCE. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance for your insight.

Q: Enbridge is the only pipeline stock that I currently own. I am looking to buy more. Before I do, do you think the TC Energy involvement in the Kitimat LNG project makes it a better investment right now? Would you consider owning both?

Thanks,

Q: Portfolio is high quality safer high yield dividend growers. Any like AQN that you would suggest selling and upgrading to another company? Ideally would like to maintain/increase the yield (maybe take advantage of high quality stocks that have been hit harder) without increasing the current risk of the portfolio? Not keen to sell low yielding BEP right now as its down a fair bit but I'm sure better days are ahead.

Current portfolio holdings are:
AW.UN AQN BNS BCE BEP.UN ENB EIF MFC SLF SYZ T TD

Q: Hi, how safe is the dividend on a scale of 1-10 whereby 10 is very safe. Do they carry debt that could some day impact the dividend as rates rise? Has the dividend ever been cut? Any reason why the dividend has not been raised for a few years? Lastly, do you see Keyera as a takeover target in the future. Many thanks as always for the great service that you provide.

Q: Hi
I have held SPB for a long time and my cost is $5.98 Over the years the stock has been more than paid for itself by the dividends.
It has been as high as $16.00 in the past year or so but now it is back below $10.00 again. It now yields over 7%. Is that out of line or even sustainable?
What could be the fundamental reason for this latest set-back? Winter is on it's way and global warming notwithstanding it will likely get colder.
They have continually been buying more assets and should that not make the shares more valuable?
Could I have your analyses please. H.

Q: Good Morning,

As the market gets beaten down yields on some very good companies are becoming difficult to ignore.

With a recession in sight yields could possibly get even better.

I am retired and an income investor sitting on substantial cash.

What would be your preferred course of action at this time?

What companies would be most attractive to you?

Thanks
