Investment Q&A

Q: I’m finally back in black on Algonquin Power. Invested in it for the USD dividend that still qualified for the dividend tax credit. Would you hold or get out? thx

Q: This etf seems to have come out of the latest downturn without to much difficulty, so wandering what the reason for this latest performance. Is it because of the fairly low fees, or the quality of the stocks being held or is it a combination of a number of factors. I am thinking of investing in this etf for the long haul. Many tnx.

Q: What is your evaluation of Power Corp (POW:CA) latest quarterly? What portion of its business is in Europe and to what extent does it make it more attractive?

Q: With interest rates predicted to trend lower do you foresee more upside for utility stocks barring any Trump whims of the day ?

Q: Good morning and thank you for your many years of valued service.

In this unsettled market, investor focus is shifting away from a narrow focus on price appreciation. Are there any available resources to review the total return of a single stock or make the same comparisons of any pairs?

Q: In a question asked Jan 2025 whether it was a good time to buy CVD, you answered "Yes, with rates heading lower and corporate earnings moving higher, convertibles we think look good today". In a more recent post on your Income model portfolio, you speak of selling the CVD to buy equities you said "We liked the CVD ETF during the high interest rate environment from 2022 and on, but without factoring in its high yield, its unit price is mostly in a downtrend. While we feel we caught most of the upswing in unit price over the past couple of years, we are preferring to add to individual stocks at this point in time." So for someone who's not looking to raise cash, and likes the dividend is it just as well to keep it or are you suggesting time to take profits, and move to something else? What would you suggest?
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
At what share price will FTN discontinue its dividend? I know you've mentioned split share dividends are dependant on NAV but how does one find the NAV value? I cant seem to find it??
How do you view dividend going forward .....?
Does current dividend look like it in trouble at these levels?

And are the preferred dividends fixed or subject to adjustment ?
Thx

Q: I believe the current market downturn provides opportunity. I would like your insight into the following two questions; along the lines of "be greedy when others are fearful".

First, recognizing a 2-3 year hold is very, very short term thinking, what are 3 companies with dividend bearing stock that you feel would be in the top 10% of performers as the market recovers.

Second, what 3 companies do you feel provide the biggest stock price recovery and growth opportunity for a 5+ year hold.

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: As EMA moves up I am wondering if I should book profits and look to an alternate choice in the sector. I had the same thought on my CPX shares when they were in the mid $60s and failed to act leaving me down significantly on those now. I would hate to repeat the error. Should I be more confident in the staying power of EMA is, I guess, the crux of the question.

Q: Your thoughts on the latest results from Alaris...thanks...Steve

Q: Hi there,

I’m looking to add a US Jnsurer to my portfolio. I’ve zeroed in on CRBG. They seem to be on a good path with a lot share buybacks.

Do you think this is solid for income plus some growth in 3-5 years? If not what might be a few others?

Thanks!

Q: It seems the mid-stream oil and gas companies are holding up fairly well in this world of uncertainty. I would like to take positions in all, or some of these companies.

Are there any of these that you would not invest in at this time? If so, why not?

It would also be helpful if you would rank order them for me in terms of reliability of dividends and value at this time.

If you think there are other mid-streamers you like please feel free to include them.
