Q: Would appreciate your recommendation of 5 Canadian and 5 US dividend aristocrat equities that you would purchase that you would expect some growth in both income and price appreciation.

Q: Its astonishing how similar the charts look alike for FTS, EMA and CU. They have had a good move. The charts on AQN and NPI look very similar to each other as well, however moving sideways. Why do you think AQN and NPI seem to be lagging FTS, EMA and CU? Best, Don

Q: Hi, I understand LIF is eliminating special dividends and appears to bumping up regular dividends with a $1.00 declared for next quarter. Do you feel $1.00 per quarter is a reasonable assumption to make going forward? Thanks.

Q: As a member for many years, I would like to thank you for the wonderful service you provide to all of us. I have learned so much by reading the daily questions, your responses, and your blogs and updates. Right now in my RRIF, I would like to top up either Trane or Linde on the US side, or TCN on the Canadian side. If you would rank them according to your best estimate for capital growth over the next few years, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Jane N

Q: I'm trying to build a diversified portfolio and I'm weak as far as income/value stocks are concerned. It would be helpful if you could provide me with a list of 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that provide some income and have a history of increasing their dividends. I'm not seeking high dividends so much but more interested in companies that pay a dividend but keep steady growth as a goal as well. If you would rank the lists best to worst it would be a bonus. Your support is much appreciated.

Q: The other day i asked about selling emera. There were a few details that i neglected to mention. I am thinking of investing the money in clean energy utility. Because they are currently down i thought it a good idea. Looking at utilitirs, though, is it reasonable to have too big a concentration? I already ow icln and algonquin. But, if the answer is yes on that score, which one? i already own a full position in Bam.a. Does this mitigate against Brookfields energy arm and then most reasonably leave boralex?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
I was wandering if there is a list of stocks that provide monthly income and from the list which stocks would you recommend in regards to income security and have some growth associated with the stock.

Ed

Q: Not an investing question, but can you help me understand, at least a big-picture view, some of the financial impacts behind last months Texas weather?
AQN has already indicated a $45M hit as a result (and this is presumably mostly or entirely built in to recent share prices). JE apparently (?) owes $250 as a result, which they can't pay and hence are seeking creditor protection. Brazos Electric Power Co-op (of Texas) supposedly owes a whopping $1.8 billion for the same event.
To whom is that money paid (in AQN's case) or owed (in JE's & Brazos case) -- ERCOT? But ERCOT is a member/supplier-owned non-profit, and AQN, JE, Brazos et al are the members, so isn't the money just circulating among the members?
Meanwhile, the end users -- individuals and business using the power -- are paying huge electric bills. We have friends in Dallas who got 5-figure electric bills for their home!
Where does the "buck stop" in this merry-go-round?
Are you in a position to shed any light on this?
