Investment Q&A

Q: Could you comment on recent acquisitions and debt level etc .?

Q: Hi, could you please clarify your position on ET. In your recent article on Reliable Retirement Streams you endorse it but in your answer to Chris on July 16th you said you would like to avoid it altogether. Thanks

Q: NPI has recently stumbled but is still likely a takeover candidate while BEP.un is a great all-around company. For new $, would you choose one over the other or a bit of both? Thanks!

Q: All things be considered, would you buy BEPC OR BEP.UN today for a registered Canadian account. Please explain.

Q: I've just been looking at Parkland and it's chart is basically flat for the last 3 years. I see you are positive about it going forward, but would you suggest someone well along into retirement stick with it or retreat to something else? (suggestions?)

Q: Please give me your thoughts on these two laggards in my portfolio. Do I keep them for dividends or replace them with more potential.

Q: I live off my dividends. Telus' dividend is not covered by its earnings...either eps or cash flow. Is the dividend eventually going to be cut? Should I sell and add to BCE?


Paul and worried

Q: Could you please tell me if Canadian Energy Services has reinstated its dividend, and if so, what is it exactly? TD shows it as $0.02/month. Doesn't sound right.
What are your thoughts on the company short term and long term?

Thank you,

Q: Hi folks...will the special dividend of 14% plus go back to 10% or so next payout.?
Thankyou

Q: Within the past month or so, you stated that you like BEP. But they have been languishing now for some time and trading sideways. Do you see their stock values returning to their previous pattern soon?

Q: Hello, I'm looking to take a large position (for me!) as part of a generational investment approach and I'm trying to decide between the two or to invest in both.

Here are some the questions I was hoping you could include in your answer:

Do you see these as good candidates for a set-it-and-forget-it long term investment?
What are some of your reasons for preferring one over the other?
Do they ship a similar product mix?
Do they have similar revenue growth - both pipeline and non-pipeline?
Is there a difference in financial health/dividend stability?
Do they ship to similar places? eg Henry Hub for gas/Texas refineries vs cross-Canada vs international shipping ports?
Would you prefer one vs the other or would you allocate a portion in each?

Q: Looked at a chart today on LIF and it has double in the past year plus showing a crazy div. of 14%. What do you think of this company going forward ?

Q: What are your thoughts on TA's Q2 results and the stock's valuation at this level? Thanks

Q: Seems like many of the renewable stocks are showing weak earnings and/or weak stock prices. Is this a short/.medium/long term trend? Are they short term covid related issues?

Q: Looking for your opinion for three dividen stocks to invest $55kfor 3year term thanks for your help
Pat

Q: Is CU a good long term hold for dividend growth? Their recent dividend growth was lower than their historical average. Is this something of concern?

Q: Hi Guys, could you please comment on today’s earnings release?
Thanks and good day to all

Q: Would you recommend continuing to hold Enbridge with OPEC's current stance? Great dividend but if little or not growth, should I look elsewhere? Thanks.

Q: Hi !

Would you suggest a top-five list of Canadian companies that have a monthly dividend--with an eye to capital preservation?
Perhaps the same parameters except that it would be for American companies?

Much appreciated!

Q: Your comments on the latest earning report of Lifeworks would be appreciated.Is it a sell on news situation since it's down more than $2.00.
Thanks
