Q: I would like to add more exposure to the Agricultural sector, and already own Nutrien. I have narrowed my search to LNN and VMI. Which would you prefer for long term growth, or is there another agricultural sector stock you would recommend?

Q: Hi,
I am low on energy and pipelines, as ENB.TO is my only holding in this sector. Most of the available cash I have on hand is in a US dollar RSP account, which I do not have to convert to a RIF for another 4 years. I've listed some stocks that have my attention, and wonder if it is reasonable to purchase now, as they're mostly at new 52 week highs, except OGS and VZ. Do you think these will still have room for further gains, or am I essentially too late and taking a risk these will roll over quickly as we inch closer to a US recession? Are there others you would prefer that aren't listed and any of the above that would be higher risk in this market environment? Take the appropriate points for the multiple questions. Thanks for you continued valuable insight!

Q: Can you please comment on earnings. Was there anything that stood out in the conference call (either good or bad). Portfolio Analytics notes I should increase my exposure to consumer defensive and US holdings. Would you recommend starting a position in COST within an RRSP? Lastly, from an educational stand point, what metrics/factors (financial and non-financial) are good to look at when exploring/assessing a business such as Costco.

Q: I am a retired investor and rely upon the dividends in my RRIF for income. I have owned FSZ for many years and while it pays a nice dividend (8%) it has not grown, in fact its down since I purchased it. I want to replace it.

The listed stocks pay dividends ranging from 3.9% to 5.1%. My question is which of the stocks would make a good replacement with the dividend and growth profile that will exceed the dividend of FSZ. Please list with the best first and also indicate if the risk is higher or lower than FSZ.

I have been a member for a few years now and would like to congratulate you on your service and unbiased answers. It definitely has been financially rewarding for me.

Q: I have been tracking the iron ore price since July 2021 when it was $213 and LIF share price was $49.61. Iron Ore hit a low in December below $95 and has since been steadily tracking higher (above $150 for a couple of days in Feb) and was $146 yesterday. On Feb 23 Rio Tinto reported record financial results and declared a dividend of $10.40 (79% payout). LIF will receive a significant dividend and royalty from Rio Tinto and they usually pass this through to shareholders. LIF shares closed at $48.61 today the highest they have traded at since July 2021. Your thoughts on the amount of the dividend LIF will pay out to shareholders and the future of iron ore prices. Thank you

Q: How do you feel about ZWU today? Or would you prefer to own a pipeline company like ENB? Seems the number of anticipated rate increases has fallen in recent days given Russia's war on Ukraine. Looking for price stability and yield. Great service, thanks!

Q: Turbulent times.
Yesterday you seemed to give a preferential nod to BCE in the domestic telco sector. Is this a change of view on Telus, which you have been preferring for some time? If so, could you please elaborate. Still grateful after all these years, so thanks again. Al

Q: I have questions:

1. ATCO vs BIP.UN - Do you agree with this article making a case that ATCO is maybe a better buy?

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4492123-forget-brookfield-infrastructure-buy-atco-instead?mailingid=26881852&messageid=dividend_ideas&serial=26881852.14358&utm_campaign=Dividend%2BIdeas%2BLaunch%2B2022-03-02&utm_content=dividend_ideas_control&utm_medium=email&utm_source=seeking_alpha&utm_term=Dividend%2B%26%2BIncome%2BSmart%2BList

2. Does ATCO have a rock-solid balance sheet that could potentially ride out an possible long recession?

3. Is there significant overlap between ATCO and BIP.UN ? Could a person own both? (I do also own BEP.UN which has utility exposure).
