Q: I am overweight quite a bit in Enbridge and since I am underweight in Telus I am will be selling some Enbridge to cover the cost of buying Telus shares. What % would be the maximum for holding ENB? I am looking at replacing Enbridge with other dividend paying stocks and could you tell me what other dividend stocks would be a good replacement for Enbridge. ( do not need any in the energy or utilities sector)

Thanks

Q: AD is now paying a 9% dividend which makes it very tempting. I have been investing a long time and have generally found high yield dividend stocks often disappoint. On the other hand I also understand that there are moments where the market will misprice stock values and create opportunity.
So in the case of AD am I correct that holding the stock (which I do) is reasonable and that the stock should appreciate to a value supporting a 4 to 6% yield.
On the other side, at a 9% yield the general market does not share my view and I think predicts a material event or dividend cut.
I have a long time frame and high risk tolerance.
So my question is when does the high yield give you cause for concern?
Thanks John

Q: I am looking to increase my Utilities sector to 10% ;currently have BEP.UN at 5% and FTS at 3%. I just reviewed both companies 2018 Annual Reports and noted FTS 's Revenue Growth ,Earnings and ROE are all lower relative to 2017 whereas BEP.UN(although a smaller company ) increased in all areas relative to 2017. With this information I am not inclined to invest further in FTS and in fact I am wondering if I should take profit from my Fortis (in RRSP) and then diversify in a third utlity. Second question -what other utility would you recommend at this time? Thank you for your time.

Q: Hi Guys,
I hold 500 shares of BCE in 3 accounts RRSP, NON REGISTERED & HOLDING CO ( 1500 total shares )
Average price is 54.00.
With the recent drop in RCI & the fact that it hasn’t kept up in the last 6 months with BCE or TELUS would selling the BCE positions to buy RCI or TELUS make any sense.
Thank you!
Nick
