Q: Lots of comments around that there may not be a lot of upside to the Telcos. And we know that covererd call etfs`s also have built-in limited upside. Any thoughts on swapping Telus for a covered call etf for income?

- iShares US Dividend Growers Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (CUD)
- Vanguard Dividend Appreciation FTF (VIG)
- iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO)
Q: I am looking for a US listed ETF that holds US listed Dividend Growing Equities. I have found RDVY (First Trust Rising Dividend ETF) and CUD (Ishares US Dividend Growers). Both have relatively high MERs for ETFs (0.49 % and 0.6% respectively). Both have a current distribution of around 2% yield. Is there anything else out there in this segment of the market ? While CUD is hedged I am not too concerned about that at this time. Would you prefer one of these over the other or would you think splitting between the two. I will be holding them in my RRSP and am looking to invest around 1% of my total RRSP holdings in this investment.
Q: QBR.B seems to have some favourable financial metrics and to be liked by analysts, yet the share price has been drifting lower for a couple of months. What is your view of this stock and do you see it's share price improving over time? Would you buy, sell or hold? Thanks.

- Brookfield Renewable Corporation Class A Exchangeable Subordinate Voting Shares (BEPC)
Q: Hi
Accumulated these utilities as part of my non-correlated asset mix. BEPC has been the worst performer. Down 16%. Hydro One is the best performer so far. Up 6%. EMA/FTS are nearly neutral.
I followed your pragmatic and practical suggestions and took only a partial position in each of these stocks.
Time to add ? In what order would you add? My plan is to add equal amounts.
Many thanks.

Q: I was thinking about rounding out my materials sector for income and was disappointed about the special dividend offered compared to last year. Are they shorter on free cash this year?
Also where do you see natural gas prices going in 2024 as this of course will be tied to their profits and hence share price?
Do you have any other suggestions with a decent dividend other then AEM and LIF?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi 5i Team - If a company is listed on both the U.S. and Canadian exchanges, do you have an opinion on which would be the better choice, I realize that this may be a bit of a complex question with a number of variables to consider so if you could address just a couple of those variables that would be great.
As a corollary do U.S. dividends need to claimed in RRSP's and TFSA's.
Thanks.

Q: Alaris reports on March 13. I already have a mostly full position (relative to it's market cap and risk level....ie; not a full position like some of the blue chips I own, like BCE, BNS, FTS, RY, TRP, etc.), but am considering adding a bit more at this level. Good USA small cap exposure with a great dividend and good upside potential (at least I think so).
Add before they report or after? Ya I know....don't add based on one quarterly report. Your current thoughts on Alaris please.
Thanks...Steve

- Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ)
- Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN)
Q: I know it's not exactly apples to apples, but would you view a swap from AQN to CNQ is a likely net positive 1/5/10 years out? This is for the 'stable' part of my portfolio - some growth but dividends and overall steadiness. Could also consider ENB or FTS (already own BIP). . Thanks in advance. - Jeff
Q: Up to mid 2019, this stock was cruising on a gradual increase, then it doubled over the next 18 months. Now, some 38 months later, it is approaching where it was before it's 18 month growth spurt. I believe that you said the stock benefitted from increased interest in green energy, and that now that interest has waned. Would there be any more to describe the drop of some 42% over the past 3 years? Do you think the 6.3% dividend will be cut again? Thank you very much for your valuable perspective.
Q: I currently hold CDZ in my Cdn dollar RRIF, however it appears that the distributions are dripped. Is there a better alternative with same exposure that pays out the distributions, as I'd prefer the cash
