Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! I am thinking of adding more dividend players to my tech heavy TFSA, just to start balancing things out a bit. I was thinking of adding Manulife and Atco...they seem cheaper, have some growth prospects and raise their dividends yearly ( though albeit, manulife ran into some problems a while back. ) Are my proposed additions decent selections? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi 5i,

Currently I have owned the above stocks SU and ENB for around half years.
I have heard the news regarding for the cancellation the Keystone XL pipeline from Biden's campaign. Actually, do you think there will be a negative impact for the above stocks in coming future? Any possible negative impact in coming future for the oil sector if the new US government, would you please kindly advise. Many thanks.

Thanks & Regards.

Q: Hello, I am currently rebalancing my portfolio and would like to exit a position in Financials to increase in other underallocated sectors. To help with my research, how would you rank MFC and GWO for a longer term hold (e.g. RRSP) and any other attributes/parameters that are important to look at?

Thanks for all you do?

Q: Hi guys!

Can you please recommend some alternatives/additionas to XTR? I'm looking for high dividend with also an (as high as possible) degree of diversification. Essentially, a couple choice income picks if I were to only choose 1-3 ETF for an entire dividend-based portfolio. This is in relation to my previous question where I was looking to do something relatively safe with ~60k over 2-3 yrs. Thanks!

Q: Hello
It appears all the utilities with the word "renewable" in the their name have gone gangbusters after the blue wave US election.
I am looking to invest in a utility that more reasonably priced and maybe running under the radar.
Does your terminal show the % of renewables for the following utilities.
Fortis, Canadian Utilities, Algonquin Power, Emera.
Thank you.
Stephane

Q: In a previous question relating to TRP, you wrote "Interest might come back to the name but with the poor momentum, we would prefer to wait for some sustained strength in shares before getting interested." How much emphasis do you put on momentum vs valuation? And with an increase in momentum, you would see an increase in the valuation. If you were a long term investor and believed in the company why not buy at a more attractive price?

Q: Hello 5i,
You have just stated that QSR is not your favourite stock but "ok" for income and some growth. So far I am up $5000 since you included it in your Income Portfolio (not including dividends) and happy for it! So if it is not your favourite, why isn't it excluded from the the IP and a "favourite" included instead? What mght that "favourite" income stock be?

Q: Hi there, Happy New Year to the 5i gang.

I noticed a fair amount of insider buying on SPB , almost all of which being bought by Marquard and Bahls AG, do you know (or think) this company is merely making a large investment here or are they possibly making a creeping takeover of SPB, similar to what Brookfield does in some cases? It seems their buying is what is mostly triggering recent price gains recently.
thanks and cheers Tom

Q: I made a typo on a direct investing account and bought Alaris in ERR. I left the holding as was. Now, a few weeks later, I fell off my chair when I saw it has only 16 employees. Do you know anything about management’s ability and track record? I like the business model but wonder if the tiny team is such that it loves the thrill of risk so much that it gets drunk on it. ( I have known such teams at startups I bought in private placements. I have paid dearly for my lack of innoculation-- <shudder> ).
