Q: I'm considering buying BRE for a TFSA, mainly due to its consistently high Dividend (stable tax-free income). My concern though is that it generally pays out over 3 times what it earns. How can this possibly be sustainable? The way it see it, BRE essentially generates bulk of its revenue from fees (commissions) which can be low risk provided the sales continue growing. Is BRE a good choice for a TFSA at current price?

Q: Hi, was thinking that the market is volatile, and in a small downward trend, hopefully nothing comes of it.
As a mostly income, small growth investor i誕m down 20% on INE, it seems to be over done? I was thinking of holding on into the new year even if it goes down more.
Are you ok with the quality of INE to hold for a recovery and collect the dividend, or would you sell and move on? What is your favourite income stocks to HOLD in a market downturn?
Thanks for your views

Q: Help me understand. If a company pays a 5% dividend on a 50.00 stock I get $ 2.50 annually.
The sp goes to 40.00 I get 6.25% dividend, while still getting my 2.50.
The dividend payout does not change until the company痴 board decides otherwise. If the company has the cash flow to pay 2.50, why would they care if the yield is now 6.25 and not 5%. In the case of KWH, it is now over 13%. , so I understand they would prefer a higher sp, who would not ,but if the price dropped because of interest fears only and only, then should KWH management have anything to fear, and should I ?? Whenever you talk about high yields, I get the impression that stock is a no go zone why ?
Thanks

Q: LIF has yet to send out a circular for shareholders to consider and vote on changing the Articles of Incorporation. Today in the Globe and Mail, David Taylor of Taylor Asset Mgmt has recommended LIF as a turnaround pick given the significant premium it receives for hits higher-grade ore favoured by China's steel mills. He also suggests Rio Tinto PLC may sell it's 59% stake in IOC or take it public which could be a possible catalyst for LIF and that LIF could be a takeover candidate by someone interested in IOC. Would purchasing the 59% stake in IOC if it became available be the transaction LIF board has been hinting at for the reason to change it's articles of incorp as it seems like more of the same income and do you think LIF could be a takeover candidate?
Thank you.

Q: Hi there,

Looking to add an infrastructure co.,to my US portfolio. If you had to buy one today which one would you prefer. My thinking is that Brookfield is more stable, better managed and won't see the dividend surprises that we saw with McQuarrie. However, MIC is significantly cheaper and better value at this time. Looks like undelying assets in both companies seem high quality, diversified? Any help would be appreciated.
