Investment Q&A

Q: Further to my question of August 24, John Heinzl of the Globe mentioned if you were exchanging BIPC for BIP.UN, you would lose money because BIPC is worth more. In your answer you have mentioned it was somewhere in the neighbourhood of $8.00. The reason is by making the exchange which is in my TFSA with an adviser which has limited yearly trades and then after that, trades become over $50 per trade. That way, the exchange would cost me nothing and I would have one lump sum of BIP.UN which would cost me 1 trade and I would take the cash out of my TFSA and I would buy BIPC in my online non-registered account with another institution for $9.99. Would I be losing the $8.00 (or somewhere in that area) per share by doing this, OR if, for example, I had $9,000.00 worth of BIPC shares which became BIP.UN in the transaction, would I get $9,000.00 worth of BIP.UN shares? I am just concerned I am clear on this. Thanks Dennis

Q: Hello, what is your opinion of this co’s Q2 results? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Can I have your opinion on GWO. How safe is the dividend? Can it be bought for a long term hold?

Thanks for your insight.

Q: I hold ET in a registered account, and as it is a MLP I've had non-resident taxes withheld from dividends. They have indicated that they will likely convert to a c-corporation, and I'm wondering how that would affect the withholding tax on distributions, and if that would automatically mean a lower distribution.

Q: What with the obvious appeal of Enb:CA and Ppl:CA, you may not get too many questions regarding U.S. pipelines. Regardless, can you give me your opinion of BPMP vs Enbridge/Pembina from a tax-resistance, dividend reliability and valuation perspective? Do you perceive other pipeline companies as greater value/dividend opportunities?

Q: If you had to select one Canadian dividend growth stock to hold for the next 20 years, with the goals of safety of capital and growing dividends, which stock would you select?

Q: In answer to Paul's question re free on-line stock screener for Euro dividend payers, you can refer him to the post "Euro Dividend Payers" in the Forums. Hope that helps.

Q: Exchanging the BIPC shares for the BIP.UN shares - there was an article by John Heinzl in the Globe stating that the BIPC shares are worth a few dollars more so if you exchanged them you would be losing a few dollars a shares because the BIP.UN shares are worth less. There are many questions out there concerning this and so I tried the search column at 5i that hopefully someone else wrote in about it - could you clarify John Heinzl's position on this? Thank you,
Dennis

Q: Hi, I cannot find the list of companies you provide increasing dividends? Could you please advise where to find it on your site? Thanks.

Q: Good day...if one was to invest in div in a cash account is the only concern the 15% hold back on the U.S. dividend...the large dividend at a reasonable fee is attracting me along with the holdings that are in the sectors that are out of favor...could you please give your opinion on this for a 10% exposure in my portfolio...Gene

Q: On a scale of 1 to 10 and assuming there are no 10s (100%) what would you rate the safety of the next 6 , quarterly dividends for BNS? What are the chances of a dividend increase in your opinion?


Thanks

Q: This seems to be reasonably priced and dividend covered.
Is it just that the market is waiting for evidence that the diversification to packaging is on track?
Is this stock a buy?

Q: Just in case I missed the two names on question as to your preference, since I amlooking to increase holdings in one of these.
Alternatives are welcome!
Paul

Q: Any suggestion for US income stocks that still represent good value ? Thanks.

Q: Would you please provide me with five Canadian Dividend Income stocks with good balance sheet and some growth.

Thanks and have a great day.

Q: your thoughts on ENB please. There is such a negative atmosphere towards pipelines today. What % of its business is affected by this. Your thoughts on its future and its dividend.

Q: I had not previously followed TELUS because I already had BCE and AT&T. I recently threw in the towel on Vodaphone, although since then VOD is getting positive comments in some investing letters. I have however been intrigued by TELUS after I noticed its presence at clinics and hospitals . Telus invested in health-oriented companies and am further impressed by its recent acquisitioni of the Canadian part of ADT.
Would the strategies being followed by TELUS encourage you to start a position in TELUS? Is T.ca now morphing into a growth company too? Does it have the cash flow and earnings to continue aggressive growth strategies ?
