Q: You have beaten down on all the the pro's and cons about tel, and bce. My situation is the fact that I have to convert my rrsp to a riff. I am way down on bce and tel, I have no plan to sell, this is my reasoning. the value that I use for with with drawls is the current price and not what I paid. As such my return is 10% and 8 %. My goal is to make enough on dividends to be higher than 5% so I am not taking out for money than I make, since I don'd need the money, and hope a little capital gain thereby not depleting my rrif. Since bce has allready said that they will not increase the payout, I think that tel has a better chance of increasing the pay out, thinking of adding some more. I have some piple lines that have gone up a lot and I am getting a good return on them. Looking to buy a solid company that has a good dividend. What say you, is my plan make sense?
Thanks

Q: Thoughts on the quarter for Leon's. With a sluggish Canadian economy and curtailed immigration I am concerned about their ability to grow. That being said, management is excellent and they have the upcoming reit spinout. What should shareholders expect in the REIT spinout? Do you see some nice upside due to this or have most of the gains been made around the announcement.
Thanks Rob

Q: Hello 5i,
It was mentioned that AW:CA is worth keeping for income. So far I am down $3,000. Is there a reason for this? I know we are not fortune tellers, but after an initial period of indecision would it be expected to go up? Would you suggest an adding to QSR in a U.S. account or another Canadian option? If so what should be considered? Time frame is five years for this 78 year old income investor.

Q: Good morning,

Just looking for confirmation of the recently-announced TRP and SOBO dividends.

I see TRP @ C$0.823 for an indicative yield of 4.85%.
I see SOBO @ US$.50, for an indicative C$ yield of ~ 8.5%.

It would seem to me that if one is + on the space, given recent analyst estimates for both companies, owning both makes sense over the near-term. While I like the SOBO yield, I had forgotten that the TRP yield would drop a bit.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i, thoughts on quarterly release pls and thx. Numbers look OK, and their capx seems to be decreasing. Is due to them nearing completion of 5g build out? If so this company should turn into a cash flow machine to pay down debt and other shareholder friendly moves.
