Q: I need to increase telecom portion of my portfolio, so I am considering buying one of these four: BCE, Telus, VZ, and VOD. Can you please rate these companies at the scale of 1-10 in terms of anticipated total return and safety (I am a conservative investor) over the next 5-10 years. Please disregard tax credit and US withholding tax consideration as I am in a high tax bracket and, if needed, can free up some room in RRSP. Thanks.

Q: Pennymac would, at first glance, appear to be on the "road to nowhere" in terms of stock price and prospects. However, in Point & Figure terms it is currently in "Triple Top Breakout" mode since May 24 and its cash flow seems more than adequate to meet dividend payout requirements. Is this a decent income stock?

Q: CTC.A: I notice that you are not a fan of this company? Well, I looked at the 30 year graph this am., and, all I can say is: I wish I had bought it way back then. I did buy it in 2020 for $96.00. Always wanted to own, but always seemed expensive. I did this exercise for all my "dividend grower" stocks which make up the core of my investments (including all the banks which I own); and guess what? The graphs go up from left to right - so, my returns are huge without including all the dividends which I reinvested.
I'd love an analysis to support your negative view please. Look, will the internet and ordering on-line I can see why you might thing this way; however, CTC just keeps chugging along.

Q: I hold the above utilities and have seen many recent questions on these. I believe our electrification demands will continue to rise very significantly over the next few decades.
I am retired and mainly looking for dividend growth and some, or good overall growth. Please rank as to which you think has the best outlook over next 5 years or more. I hold similar amounts of each? Would you add to one or two mainly or equally to all?
Thank you for great service.
