Q: I want to add another utility stock to my portfolio (already own AQN) and was looking at Capital Power since it has an attractive dividend. Could I get your thoughts on this company?
Q: My simple reading of the financials, looks like the total number of shares outstanding, X the existing price, is less than the net assets. The expressed book value is also much higher. Does this Company scrap, for more than it trades for ?
Q: I own ENB and PPL. PPL was purchased for stability and safety of the dividend. The position is now way down. Would you recommend selling PPL and replacing it with TRP? Or is PPL seriously mispriced at this point and better to sit tight and wait for recovery?
Q: I am looking for safe dividends and believe all of these companies meet that criteria (although recognizing that nothing is for sure these days). I would like to buy 2 companies. Which 2 would you pick from this list?
Q: After the BIP.UN spinoff I now own shares of both of these. For simplicity, I only want to hold one. Selling BIP.UN and buying BIPC in non-registered account will have tax consequences so, on the surface, it seems I should sell BIPC and buy more BIP.UN. Do you see any reason in a long term hold to own one vs the other?
Q: Looking for a few ideas in an oversold dividend payer stock or etf that has a reasonable chance of maintaining the dividend with capital appreciation over the long term?
Q: you recently ranked XEI more highly than CDZ. Could you offer a comparison between the 2? I have read elsewhere that CDZ, which I own, holds too many high yield/high risk
stocks. Would substituting XEI address that, or would it create its own issues?
Q: In a recent question you said that CDZ could not do well because of dividend cuts, so, i am asking whether or not you would consider XEI to be the same or not as it has a larger amount of companies that pay dividends...Gene

Q: Given the number of companies either suspending or eliminating dividends , would you say the outlook for this fund to be rather weak, for the time being?
Q: If I buy say BCE preferred within the 30 days of selling the BCE common, do I negate my capital loss? Seems like a good place to stick the money before rebuying.
