Q: Thoughts on the CN banks? Low rate environment; Cdn economy hampered economically due to low oil and lacklustre mtg/productivity . How does this factor for growth in our banking oligopoly? I would think the 4-5% dividend yield is relatively safe but I cannot see where the stock price growth would come from other than wealth management divisions and perhaps trading which is somewhat risky. Thanks.

Q: Hi Guys,
Poor Chorus Aviation: Getting hamered (Not justified in my opinion) along with all the airline stocks and then this news:
Chorus Aviation Falls to 52-Week Low As U.K. Air
05 Mar 202011:35 ET
(MT Newswires) -- Chorus Aviation (CHR.TO) was down more than 5% to a 52-week low after the company on Thursday said it has eight aircraft leased to Flybe, a U.K. regional airline placed under administration.

The company said Flybe leased three ATR 72-600 and five Dash 8-400 turboprop aircraft, which, Chorus said, account for less than 5% of the book value of its regional aircraft leasing segment fleet. It said it has a plan to repossess the planes and lease them to other customers.

"We are currently in negotiations with prospects for these aircraft. As noted, these aircraft represent only a small portion of the value of our leased aircraft portfolio," Steven Ridolfi president of Chorus Aviation Capital said in a release.

Chorus shares were last seen down C$0.36 to C$6.04 on the Toronto Stock Exchange, under its previous 52-week low of C$6.22.

Would you continue to hold or possibly even add to an existing position ? Thanks

Dave

Q: I know you really like BNS but with TD at a 52 weeks low, would you pick it over BNS for a long term holding. (Building a position for dividend income)

Also, can you explain me if there is an advantage to own 2 full positions of banks vs 1 of bank and 1 of SLF (knowing that its your top insurance company pick)

Q: What do you think of Alaris quarterly report?

The numbers for 2019 look to be exceptional, however, the problems in Q1 2020 and what they might imply are difficult to ascertain. Your opinion please.

Also they expect a 10% increase in distributions. Is that distributions to them or distributions to shareholders?

Q: Inter Pipeline has a current dividend of 8.9 %. According to TD Waterhouse today, the the 2020 estimated payout ratios are 81 % of AFFO and 197 % of EPS. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is 6.3 %. These numbers are high compared to other similar companies. Would it make sense to sell this stock and purchase ENB or PPL instead ? Thanks, Joe
