Q: Can you please compare the current valuations of these stocks with their historical/average valuations? Can you also comment on whether there appears to be any parallel to their behaviour now as compared to during the last financial crisis, and if so, what happened to their share values after things returned to “normal” then? My concern about investing in the consumer staple space now is that they might suffer from a rotation out when the outlook for other sectors eventually start to improve. Do you share that concern to any degree?
Q: Could I have your top 5 picks for growth in the renewable energy sector in your order of preference for a 5 to 10 year time frame. Thanks for your services.
Q: Interested in renewable energy. What do you think about this company as a purchase or do you have a couple of other companies that would fit the renewable space.
Thanks for all you do, much appreciated.
Q: Looking for comments on this one regarding their last quarterly performance. I recognize that debt has been significant, but if I am reading correctly, much of it is due >5years out. Does that assuage your concern somewhat?
Thanks!
Q: Hi 5i, how significant is the court ruling regarding the tax benefits for Hydro One?
Do you see a continued bump upward on the stock price and will these benefits likely lead to increased dividends.
Thanks

Q: I notice that you both hold VZ and are generally positive about it, and conversely are generally negative in regard to AT&T.
I hold neither of these stocks at this time, but have been thinking about getting back into one of them.
Interestingly, Standard and Poore's rates VZ a sell and T a buy.
Beyond "that's what makes a market", any comments in defense of your position. Thanks.
Q: We have sold out of USA Tech and have several full positions of USA $ in registered accounts. I no longer wish to devote as much attention to investments.
We know that USA is not your forte but could you recommend a couple of dividend paying "layups". Buy it and forget it ? We acknowledge that nothing is a sure thing.
Thanks for Your help
Q: As BEP.UN absorbs the remainder of TERP this quarter and pays for it with BEPC shares, what impact do you see on the stock going forward?
Thanks

Q: I know Chartwell is and will be under scrutiny under the current context. I fell in love with the drip and the monthly high dividends not so much the stock.
What would be your 2-3 suggestion to replace it with? Considering I want a high monthly div that a can drip without investing 100k in!
Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. Looking to top up my Consumer sector holdings. Currently have PBH, NWC and PLC, which are more on the Staples side of things. I have a "full" weighting on each, relative to my assessment of their risk. Considering getting back into the Discretionary side...maybe rebuy LNF or MG. Could you run a screen of Canadian Discretionary stocks that pay > 3% dividend and overlay that with your ranking from best to worst...maybe the top 5 for me to consider.
