Investment Q&A

Q: What happens to my IPL stock if I did not select any option to liquidate the shares from Brookfield when the sale completed on Nov. 1

Q: LIF has been dropping steadily since September. Where do you see a floor for the stock price given current economic conditions here and abroad?

Thank you.

Q: Keyera is down big today was their quarter that bad.

Q: Could you advise on what 5I would consider to be one of your most secure 6% dividend with the most share price stability? Tks. Larry

Q: I want to put money into TFSA's in the New Year. Thinking of transferring shares of BEP.UN from open account to TFSA's since they do not receive the dividend tax credit - but wondering if this is a good idea or bad for taxes?
It will trigger capital gains - but any stocks transferred from open to TFSA will do the same.

Q: Peter; Is ERF mainly a gas or oil producer? Thanks. Rod

Q: CPX accounts for 2.31% and AQN represents 4.63% of my unregistered portfolio. I was thinking of switching AQN into CPX or rebalancing so that each would be equal. Would there be another dividend producing utility that you would prefer over these two. I already own BEP(2.81%), BIP(2.23%), SPB(1.74%)and F(1.56%). Perhaps putting some of the AQN into one of the latter four mentioned? I do like the nice dividend that CPX provides. I am retired and have a decent pension and my portfolio is geared to dividend income.

Q: I am hoping for three perpetual preferred shares trading near par with a yield of at least 4.5%.

Q: Top USD stocks for dividend income please. Thanks.

Q: Are all dividends in the form of cash distribution which are not eligible for dividend credit?

Q: Saputo? is it a buy?

Q: Following on from a 19 Oct question, you rated dividend safety as: NPI, BEPC, CPX, RNW, AQN.

The payout ratio (12 month rolling, based on operating cash flow) was then shown as: BEPC 90%, AQN 170%, CPX 22%, NPI 20%, RNW 90%.

From this it seems like a 12 month rolling ratio is not a strong surrgate to dividend safety. I was a bit surprised but maybe 12 months is just too short.

Anyway, if such is the case, what metrics guided the views on dividend safety?

Thanks

Q: The headline reads: AltaGas Announces Strong Third Quarter Results.

Are they?
Why doesn’t the market like it?
Shouldn’t ALA be picking up on price increases?

Q: Hi Guys whats your thoughts here banner quarter and down 5% sure would have been a disaster if it was a miss .
This is a big unexplainable drop

Q: Do you believe Nuttals hypothesis that the price of oil must rise?

At the recently inflated price of Whitecap, is it still a viable investment?

Is this sector too volatile or overpriced at present to jump in?

Q: I've held AQN far too long (2-3 years, down a few %) and let BEP go much to early (pre-split). Shall I sell my AQN and replace with BEP? Currently AQN is my only stock in that space and though frustrated, I feel over time it will perform. But the same can be said for BEP.

If you had one choice, what would it be.

Q: Could you please compare these energy stocks and advise if you have a preference between the 4 of these with an explanation. For a 1 to 2 year hold.
Thanks so much.

Q: RUS has had a nice run. Do you see much upside from here? (3 -5 year horizon)

Q: Do you expect a pop when they release their financials.

Q: Hi 5i, I started my stock market investing in March 2020 in order to get 'skin in the game'. I am a daily learner whose investing personality is that of an 'individualist'. I have determined my investing goal to be for income (mostly through dividends) and growth (for capital appreciation). I have found lately that my risk tolerance feels lower due to increasing volatility, talk of market decline/crash, increasing inflation, shortages, rising rates etc. As a result I would like to cash in the individual stocks I own that have given me good capital appreciation and replace them with ETF's and/or Index Funds. Income and growth plus diversification to my portfolio is my objective here. Since I hold more than enough physical precious metals and an emergency stash in US dollars I feel I have enough insurance/hedge against a worst case scenario happening in the economy. Please comment on these following ETF's. I am also open to other suggestions you might have as well. Please note that my entire TFSA is in my brokerage account so taxes are not an issue for me. Thanks
