Q: Hi : I recently sold my TD shares, I do not think there is anything wrong with TD, but I noticed that some stocks like TD are above the value they had before the pandemics hit. Noticed that beta for TD is 0.86. It is hard to believe that the economy is in better shape today than before the pandemics. I see quite a number of empty stores at my local mall. BCE has a beta of 0.31 with a good yield and a low price/cash flow ratio. Would you agree that BCE is safer than TD if the market has a correction ?, I am retired and safety and income are more important than growth . I have no exposure to telecoms now, and still some small exposure to banks through BNS. If BCE is not super safe , could you suggest another one ?

Q: Hello 5i team,
On the 5i website, for EIF's company description, it says that they focus on 2 sectors namely aerospace/aviation services and equipment/manufacturing.

As the pandemic wanes, will this company's fortunes improve or is this already factored into the share price(since the share price is close to an all time high)?

Is equipment and manufacturing still in the aerospace/aviation sector, or is it generally in sectors entirely different?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi Folks,
I am looking to update my RRSP - I currently hold PG, TD, BNS, MFC, ABBV, PFE, T, BCE, AQN, BIP.UN, ENB - I am thinking of swapping PG with Verizon ( or can you suggest another with a dividend ) to add some "torque".
Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
I have noticed on occasion that you will respond that a particular security represents 'higher risk income'. This occurred earlier today when a question was posed concerning EIF.
When you say this, do you mean that the income itself is at a higher risk than say that of BCE or do you mean that the company itself tends to be a higher risk security as compared to others within its sector?
Thank you as always
SP

Q: The majority of our utility holdings are in FTS /AQN, and when looking at value metrics: EV/Rev, p/b, forward p/e and yield, these 2 stocks appear to rank highest of the stocks listed above. NPI seems to be 3rd best in value, but it does have a higher p/b ratio. We also hold the following utilities in decreasing weight: BEP.UN, NPI and INE. We need to trim SU/ENB and want to add more to some or all of the latter 3 utilities - would you add the most to BEP.UN then NPI or focus on just BEP.UN? INE appears to be a bit over-valued at this time. Should we continue to hold INE, sell or add on more significant dip? We income/growth investors with 10+ year time horizon.
Thanks!!

Q: GIC coming due shortly, do not want to reinvest the money at a .75% rate. I’m considering buying a fairly safe dividend paying stock or 2. They could have a some growth as well as they would be in my TFSA. Have been considering TFII. What do you think of it and could you suggest a couple of other options for me to look into..

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.
John
