Investment Q&A

Q: I am considering purchase of one of the following 3, CTC, BNS, LB.

If one were to analyze the decision to purchase one of the 3 according to dividends only.

The question is spending 100 000 dollars to purchase any given one of the 3 today, along with the following assumptions, hold x 10 years, no dividend cuts and ongoing ANNUAL dividend growth at present rate (based on present dividend and last years' dividend growth)
CTC present dividend 1.038 dividend growth last year 13 %
BNS present dividend 0.87 and dividend growth last year 5.9%
LB present dividend 0.65 and dividend growth last year 4.2%

At the end of 10 years, WHAT WOULD MY DIVIDEND FOR EACH be in dollars ?

(I can't seem to get the math right and can't find a website calculator to help me.)

Your opinion about the PROS AND CONS of my approach to dividend investing would also be welcome.

Q: I have been ignoring my RSP for years now , and I will have to do the Riff conversion in 2 years. I have a collection of failed stocks and $200,000 in cash sitting in 1 1/2% interest cash in my RSP .Yesterday I committed to buying the NPI offering , but my broker says I can change that to my margin acct or TFSA if I do it right away . If I clean it up , what equity names might you suggest for my RSP and where should the NPI go ? With 5% yield , is it an income stock ?

Thankyou ...

Q: I am interested in the 2 stock s listed ,which would you prefer ? Or would both be safe for my income portfolio thx.

Q: Hi
Please help me with a 100,000 foot scan of the telco space. The hypothesis is the Cdn. Telcos are extremely vulnerable to the combined threat of cord cutting and streaming. Customers cancel cable, stream their entertainment with unlimited choice via ROKU. Telcos suffer. Our nice dividend growers fade.
Is it too soon to sell? Appreciate your take.
Thanks Frank

Q: NPI ended the day on Mar. 19: Last: $23.36 C, Change: -2.38 -9.25 %.
First, can you explain this price decline? Second, would you say this stock is a screaming BUY at this price?

Q: Hi, can you give me some top picks where the distributions are deemed return of capital, at least 5 % .thx Jack.

Q: Good morning. I've been riding this loser CHE.UN for some time and have noted your previous comments on same. I think I should sell now and take my lumps. Where should I reinvest in this sector, with dividends and potential for growth. Thanks

Q: Further to my question about undervalued Canadian dividend paying "blue chip" equity, what do you think of Canadian Tire?

1. Does it fit the above criteria, if not why
2.Present value, is P/E the right way of assessing
3.Immediate risk of further decline for CTC specifically or its' sector

thank you

Ernie

Q: Hello,
Most of our Cdn equities are individual blue-chip dividend stocks and our US equities (25%) are mostly SPY. Those are doing ok I guess, though together only slightly better than our GIC's to be frank. Two of our holdings, which we've held for close to a decade, are still not good as noted below. When I asked about these before, I think you recommended continued patience as has our IA too. Your thoughts at this time please?
Holding Book Value Market Value DRIP
CIX $30k $16k Yes
MFR.UN $181k $154k ?

Q: Hi 5i, I currently have 3 U.S. stocks now. Bank of America, Jpmorgan and Pfizer. Would like to add 1 or 2 more, thinking along the lines of a stock like Aqn ( just the quality doesn’t have to be in the category) just to let you know I’m up 117% on Aqn because of your recommendation sometime ago. So looking for decent growth, nice dividend and my time horizon is very long term.
Thx
Gerry

Q: Your income portfolio has very interesting companies. My question is which of these companies would be considered dividend growers and is it true that dividend grower over time have outperformed growth stocks...thanks for the great service ...Gene

Q: Would you consider SKT a dividend aristocrat, and is it not way oversold right now? I do not see any negative news or reason for the strong pull-back.

Q: why the sudden drop in past month

Q: I am wondering why the secondary offering is about 10% below the closing price of the shares? That seems like a huge discount, much larger than most secondary offerings. Why such a large discount? And do you think this will have an impact on the share price going forward (after the closing, assuming it does close)?

Q: Hi, if I hold either of these stocks in a TFSA would they be exempt from any U.S. or foreign tax reporting? From a tax reporting perspective would it be the same as if holding them in an RRSP? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i. Medical facilities corp reported this past week. IMO this was a hoo humm quarter but the reporting and management sentiment seems to have placed a floor on the stock and stability on the dividend. Whats the 5i opinion ?
Respect

Q: what would be you top five CAD equities that you would purchase that have a significant dividend and some growth that do not include the financial or energy sectors

Q: Hello
Could you comment on new shareholder positions: Bluescape Energy Partners/Cove Key Bluescape?

Do you know of this private equity firm? Are they passive type shareholders like "Warren Buffet'' or are they more aggressive like ''Nelson Peltz/Carl Ican'' type.

Thank you
