Q: hello 5i:
We're looking for a decent income stock and are considering EIF. We already own about a 1.5% position in AC. Are the companies businesses too similar in that they are both tied to the airline business or is there sufficient difference to own both? And what are your thoughts on the present valuation of EIF?
thanks

Q: I have a large gain in Telus.

PE at 26+, dividend is 100% of NI /share, yield 4% .....rates going up.....of course it is a favourite of the Canadian investor but when borrowing costs start to exceed the yield....soon....it may well 'correct'......

sell or hold?

Q: Hello,
I have a decent amount of exposure to names such as Brookfield Renew., Enbridge, Fortis. Should we expect a large correction in these names if rates increase faster than expected (if so what would be your wild guess in % for a correction?) I am a long term holder and don’t need the income. I was hoping that rate increases would be mitigated by the inflation we are experiencing. I am trying to decide if I should sell some and replace with financials and technology. I am slightly overweight utilities and main reason was for stability / safety. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,
Was looking to add to my half position of FTS and came across this news.... heading.....

"Veritas Downgrades Fortis to Sell from Buy, Keeps CA$57.50 Price Target."

Can you provide any insight on why they would consider FTS a sell and would you agree?
Would you be comfortable adding at this price for 2-3 yr hold or would you wait for maybe better entry point?

thx
Jim

Q: My wife has $75,000 to invest in her TFSA, in which she is also holding 100 shares of TD Bank along with 100 shares of TD in an RSP. She is retiring in a month has a defined pension plan, CPP, OAS. But she is still looking for dividend income either monthly or quarterly to supplement her income.
We are looking at going with "Beating the TSX Portfolio 2022" but also looking at ZWU and ZWC which look like they could bring in more income but higher fees. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

Q: Greetings,

Trying to reduce REIT holdings and would appreciate your advice: I don't mind keeping both but if one was sold and all the proceeds used to buy the other, then which one would you prefer to keep adding to? Both classified as "retail" . Which one has more potential to keep growing?

Many thanks!
