Q: Hi - I've had about 4-5% in each of the above going into the recent crash. Do you have any thoughts on hanging on to AD vs moving money to the banks (for example). AD has been hit much harder, but the dividend is larger. I would hold on if it's clear they will come out the other side ok. Similarly with APO, if you can comment on the US side.

Thank you!

Q: Hello,
I'm a looking to invest in dividend stocks. Currently I would like to increase my exposure to the Utilities sector. Given the current economic conditions, which of the above stocks are most at-risk of cutting or reducing their dividends? Also, of the above, are there any standouts that you prefer? I am also looking at AQN and FTS aswell as BEP.UN and BIP.UN.

Thank you

Q: I bought half positions in CNQ and SU and I have buy orders in at lower prices which I never thought I would see ($8 for CNQ). At current prices, CNQ is yielding over 15%. Even though their dividend was well covered, does it matter how low their share price goes or is it more a function of how long the coronavirus and price war going on for that you force them to cut their dividend? Would they cancel share buybacks before cutting their dividend even though share prices are so low?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: MIC is down about 50% which seem a bit excessive... I've held them for a long time and loved the Brookfield bump, the recent special divs. Would appreciate your thoughts before I double down. It would probably be safer to just buy one of the big banks but they haven't dropped 50%...I saw in the question archives that you ranked it "ok" as a high risk high yield option. 2 days ago.

Q: I currently don't have either of these companies in my portfolio and need to add to my industrial sector. Both are related to the aviation industry. Which of these do you see as being a better long term hold and why? Do you have any concerns around the sustainability of either? Any debt concerns. I do like the much higher income potential with EIF, but don't wish to be short sighted either. Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i: I hold ENB.PR.Y; ENB.PR.H and FFH.PR.K in my RRSP all of which are down over 50 per cent but have provided some income. In total they represent about 2.5 percent of my portfolio.Given the fixed nature of this payout and my little interest in preferred shares, I am wondering whether it would make sense to sell these and top up some of my other blue chip dividend holdings which are down (e.g. BIP, Telus, Royal Bank, BNS, TD, FTS) and hold a better upside over the next couple of years? Appreciate your advice as always …now more than ever.
