Q: I plan to retire in 3 years and want to set up a portfolio of dividend paying stocks for my retirement in a non- registered account. Can you please give me your thoughts if I buy the following in 20% amounts at each S&P drop of 3-5% over the next 1-3 months. CM RY, NA, CWB, BCE, T, H, BIP, BEP, BAM.
Are there any others you would recommend today?

Q: Thank you to the whole 5I team for your precious help during these difficult times. I am retired and I hold shares in a corporate account of DIR and CAR with losses of approximately 30% each. The company is expected to close within 3 years. Do you think these 2 titles will go back to their paid level by then. If not, would it be appropriate to sell them take a tax loss and migrate to companies with slightly lower dividends but with more growth? I thought of BIP and BEP or BAM. If not, do you have any other suggestions?

Q: I am considering selling my shares in ENB and using the funds to top up my holding in BAH. What are your thoughts on this move?
This would be in a registered fund. There is no tax loss advantage. I am interested in total return whether it be dividend or capital gain over the next 2-3 years.

Q: What is exactly the problem with EIF as its SP keeps on falling daily? Is this company actually has an operational/financial problem, or is the market's perception that it could have such problems going forward? EIF is one of my key holdings and I'm down about 40% so far (actually closer to 90% from the start of 2020). If it's the latter I might have to consider cutting my losses. Thanks.

Q: So with the pipeline companies yielding between 8 and 20% and factoring in a 50% dividend cut, they would still have a nice yield. I suspect that some might increase, or at least slow price decline if cut.
Please list these companies in order of balance sheet strength and debt % and coverage, and order of preference. Thanks

Q: Good morning,

Looking to clean up my oil and gas names but don't mind keeping some or adding others to maintain some exposure.

How would you rank TOG/TOU/BTE/WCP in terms of bounce back potential/likelihood of survival/balance sheet strength? What is you top two?

Do you much prefer SU, PXT, FRU, BIR vs the above names? What are your favourite oil/gas names at this time?

Thanks
