Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Can you compare the two for me? What is growth expectation for each and valuation on a comparative basis. The yields are very attractive while BEP has committed to increasing their yield through 2022. Also, can you note why BEP.UN is rated an "A" and would it still be rated an A as it hasn't had a report in a while? Thanks.

Q: CU has been dropping steadily from over $42 in June 2017 to just over $31 today wiping out over 5 years' worth of dividends. What is happening? CU has raised it's dividend every year for 45 years. Is this the end of the dividend growth ride? It makes me afraid to invest as a senior looking for for the 5% dividend. Your advice? What utilities would you prefer [ie "safer" less volatile] with growing dividends around 5%.
Thanks......... Paul K

Q: I have been looking at Enbridge, and am confused about the increase in outstanding common shares. It seems that they more than doubled in the past 2-3 years. Is this from acquisition or from the company issuing more shares? Is there a way to tell for other companies (online), so I don't have to ask you for each one I find similar results?

Thanks!

Q: I am looking for quality dividend-growth Canadian stock, yielding at least 5%, mid cap or larger, for medium to long hold, in the following sectors: banks, pipelines, renewable energy.

I am considering adding to BNS, Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN) and Enbridge (ENB).

I could add to Interpipe (IPL) or Innergex (INE) but am thinking that Enbridge and Brookfield Renewable are better choices at the moment.

Your opinion? Other names to consider?

Q: Hi,
I'm considering the purchase of a full position for a 5yr + hold in a company that pays medium range but increasing dividends as well as modest yearly capital growth. I already hold full positions in TD, BNS, Fortis, BCE, T. I'm looking at CU but would appreciate your recommendation for several other preferred companies.

Thanks,

Joe

Q: HELLO I bought the subscription rights (ALA.r) when you advised so I’ve taken a bath, just wondering if i use it for a tax loss and buy SPB and/or CSU or anything else that you might advise to retrieve/decrease my loss. What would you do? Thanks for the service ... I know we cant bat 100% all the time.
