Investment Q&A

Q: Given your answer today about BEPC having too much of a premium, do you advice selling it and buying BEP.UN instead?

Q: Hi Guys Happy new year
between these 2 companies which one would you think will have better growth in the next couple of years.

Q: Could you comment in general on this ETF please. It has not recovered in the same way other international ETF's have and yet prior to March it seems like it's been pretty stable for the last 5 years, declining somewhat in 2018. I bought a bit a few months ago and am thinking of purchasing more. Do you feel it has upside potential in the recovery and do you feel it's a buy, sell or hold at current levels? Do you think the dividend is fairly safe?
Thanks so much, your input in invaluable!

Q: How should or could existing shareholders benefit from the spin off of Telus International from Telus. See nothing in the news reports so far.

Q: I own ENB, FTS, and TRP but think I should position more into green/clean /renewable type energy companies. I do own AQN which I believe fits into the clean/renewable category. So I am thinking to sell one of ENB, FTS or TRP and replace it with a greener alternative. So which one would you sell and what would you buy to replace it with(can you provide more than one option)?
I would like to just take a moment to thank you all at 5i who have such a huge positive impact on my investing. Over the last few years, since signing up, you have given me so much more confidence in my ability to manage my own affairs. You are the perfect resource. There to lean on, answer my questions and point me in new directions and to new opportunities.

Q: I am fairly new to DIY investing and 5i. Have really appreciated the knowledge I am accumulating from your subscription. I am overweight in financials and would like to reduce. Currently own MKP (7%) and AI (2%). Could you give me your thoughts on these companies and rank them in order of “dividend safety/growth”? Thank you.

Q: Best Canadian value stocks any sector with 3%+ dividend yield that have the good growth prospects in 2021? For non-reg account, 5-10 year hold.

Q: I saw the Q's on this stock today and was intrigued by the outsized (to me) performance of BIPC vs. BIP.UN on the upside and now on the downside. Am I to understand that the growth is exactly equivalent and the price differential is strictly on the dividend taxability? I have trouble understanding the institutional (I assume mostly) thinking on this. How many years would it take of dividend savings to account for the difference? Or is that a dumb question?

Q: Happy new year ,

Q: after saying many times that this stock at a low today of 80.75, either version is good to own, what is happening to the crash scenario of this version which is down from the high range you said it was ok to own (high of $94).??

Q: Hi, I had a great 2020 investment wise, thanks, great advice.
In my TFSA I have STC- PLC - CCL.B that I will add to. I also have $room for two or three additional stock to compliment them for diversity, could you suggest sometime for a growth but also conservative investor.
Also would you be ok with a small amount(play money) for QBTC.U or would you stay clear?
Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income, "buy-and-hold" investor. I am light in Consumer Cyclical. Do you still like Leon's? What other choices would you recommend that pay at least a 2.5% dividend. Please rank them for total return best to worst.
Thanks....Steve

Q: I was surprised to see you quote ENB as one of your top Canadian dividend picks in a recent question.

I am troubled by the "low" increase in dividend growth this past quarter. Please help me interpret this from a numbers (earnings, cash flow, future growth) point of view that would reassure me that it deserves to be amongst your top Canadian dividend picks.

thanks

Ernie

Q: I own XEI in a TFSA and am looking for better growth prospects with an ETF or MF. I prefer CDN denominated but with some US holdings is fine. Thanks Cal

Q: Would you recommend ATCO for a 3 to 5 year hold or would Fortis or Emera be a better choice? Also, why has ATCO gone down so much in the past 6 months.

Thank-you.
