Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have some cash in my RRSP to invest for a long-term hold. My primary goal for these funds is to add income from a higher dividend-paying, large and stable company. I’d also like some upside on capital appreciation although not the primary focus. I’m looking at these companies and I’m open to other suggestions.

Could you please rank these by the potential to increase the dividend over time?

Could you separately rank by potential capital appreciation?

Finally rank by stock price volatility

Much appreciated

Q: We are very disappointed in Decisive Dividend. I bought it in the $8 range and it performed beautifully to well over $11 so I had a really nice capital gain but was too stupid to take the gain while I could. I am used to buy and hold forever stocks so not am used to ones that need to be traded. Now drifting lower and lower. What happened? I believe it has lots of cash available and I expected it to keep growing. Your suggestion please... just sell and take the small loss or keep it in hopes of the price going up again.
Thank you............ Paul K

Q: I hold XLB in my RRSP. What do you think of swapping the XLB for BEP.UN?

Can you address the answer in various interest rate directions please?

( Between BIP.UN in the RRSP and the BN and BAM outside, I already have 10% exposure to the group. Doing the trade would have me bumping 15%. )

Thank You

Q: Do you recommend holding Enerplus until the close of the deal ? Are there restrictions on ERF insiders and employees on selling their CHRD shares as soon as the deal closes ? If I do not stick with CHRD, I would like to keep these funds in O&G. What are your favorites in this sector. I own WCP, CPG, TOU and the pipelines. ERF is currently held in a TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i, I own Enerplus but do not want the CHRD shares there is a special dividend to be paid payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2024 . The ex-dividend date for this payment will be May 30, 2024 . The Special Dividend is intended to equalize the amount of quarterly. The transaction of the takeover is I think May 31/24. Would I be able to sell my shares May 30/24 and still qualify for the special dividend?

Q: I have just sold all our shares in SPB:CA despite the high dividend. It has been languishing for too long and I'm sure there is a better investment somewhere in the energy industry.
It was our only stock in the energy industry and we should replace like for like.
What are your best suggestions for the next 3-5 years for total ROI in a RIF?

Q: I never thought I would be contemplating whether or not to continue to hold these “sleep at night stocks” but here we are. I have no doubt they will recover but in what timeframe? I am particularly concerned about TD. I believe regulators are going to set an example. I am 75 years old and time is at a premium. Please give me some guidance.

Q: I always like following the Form 13F SEC disclosures in the USA made by major investors. One of the guys I follow is Stanley Druckenmiller (Duquesne Family Office). I note that he has recently taken a new position in Kinder Morgan. Can I have your thoughts on this name for a new buy? Thank you,

Q: Hello 5i,
I recently came across CCA in one of your latest screenings. I need to add about 1% to the Communications sector and already hold BCE (RRSP) and T (TFSA) as pretty much full positions - at least if they stop being 25 - 30% under water!!
With the 6% yield on CCA (and the last question asked in January), I was wondering if you had any updated thoughts on adding this one to an RRSP, soon to be RRIF, for retired, conservative, income-oriented investors OR would you just add to either BCE and/or T, or go with a new position in Rogers or perhaps VZ:US?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Mike
