Q: In the 2008 financial crisis Manulife a good mom and pop steady dividend payer cut its dividend that many small investors depended on and Manulife took over a decade to start to recover. I see BCE much the same as many of its stock owners have depended on it for growth and dividends and is in most Canadian portfolios. These small investors once bitten are unforgiving and will not return. What do you think?

Q: Hi,
I've been very careful in the last year with stock market at all time high and I've been building a relatively high position in utilities in my portfolio and I am clearly overweight in utilities. I know that timing the market perfectly is impossible but at what point in time would you suggest to start unloading utilities? Do you think that there is still some upside in these names due the Tariffs and the associated panic in the market? If you had 3 companies to sell now in my list which companies would you unload first. Thank you!

Q: Hi
Is any part of the monthly distribution a return of capital? Or is it all dividend?
Does it all qualify for the Dividend Tax Credit or is it deemed Interest?

Q: I have lots of interest income and I know, although the money is 100% safe, I am paying top tax dollar. Do you have safe dividend alternatives to suggest??
Q: I have heard advisors say that private credit (MICs like maybe Capital Direct) can be considered as part of a portfolio’s fixed income allocation. Would the same thing apply to publicly traded MICs such as Atrium, Mcan etc) as the distributions they pay out are considered interest income.
Q: If Telus is successful in selling a minority position in its tower network, will the proceeds be enough to "right the ship" in terms of its ability to continue paying its stated dividend, its debt/equity ratio and any other metric used to evaluate whether the company is investable at this time?
Would you buy Telus today with the idea that if such a deal does go through that is merely a potentially added benefit and if so at what price would you initiate a position?
Thanks for the great service.
Ian

Q: If telus sells it's towers, will they have to pay "rent" or lease them back?. What would be the net results to their earnings, since the sale would be a one time event to pay down the debt, I hope.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: How safe do you think Magna’s dividend is?
Current earnings/cash flow seem to cover the dividend quite well, and buybacks could always be stopped/reduced if needed to maintain the dividend.
Even if it takes a few years for the auto industry to recover, Magna’s over 5% dividend yield at least pays us to be patient (assuming Magna can adapt to whatever the future of the auto industry looks like)?

Q: Perhaps am looking for unicorns. I have some money to deploy and I am looking for companies that have the balance sheet to ride out the current situation whether it lasts another two months or >12 months. My basic criteria were those potentially undervalued, dividend over 3%, div growth of at least 5% and a decent payout ratio. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks for your help.
