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

Q: Looking for couple of stocks or ETFs with a 4%+ yield to add to an existing RESP. My time frame to hold would be about 4 years and the weighting would be about 5% of my portfolio. I am fairly well diversified so do not have any sector preferences, just want something lower risk that I can hold for a few years that will pay a decent dividend.
What would be your recommendations?
Many Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

I have about a 40% gain on Emera in an unregistered account.

Assuming an otherwise adequetely balanced portfolio, would you suggest a trim? And if so, could you tell me which SECTOR (Cdn) you would invest new money in at this moment if you could only pick one - again, assuming an already balanced portfolio.

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I manage my son's TFSA, and it's quite well diversified, except for zero exposure in energy. For this year's contribution, I'm considering one of ENB, IPL, TRP, or PKI. I realize that PKI is in a different sub-sector, but am leaning towards it, and would appreciate your insight. We favour dividend payers, even if it's a small dividend. Thanks as always.

Q: My question is about Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc ( LOAN on NASDAQ).
The company pays a regular7.6% quarterly dividend and the stock trades in a range of $6.00 to $6.60. The company seems to have quite stable income but is highly leveraged. Nevertheless if the pundits are correct and we have low interest rates for 2020, would it make sense to borrow money at 5% to buy this stock? What could possibly go wrong?
Cheers
Ian
