Q: Hi Peter,

Currently own CHE.UN - have been following your comments/answers & appreciate your answer to my previous question re: 4.6% drop on Aug 8

Your comments "stock not cheap" (P/E is 15 = not bad?), dividend not increased in 10 yrs (but currently 8% = pretty good & sustainable), downgraded by Desjardins from $19 > $17 (but currently trading at $14.7 = undervalued?) with 3 yr price range between $15-$20

That said, what is your outlook for CHE.UN and would you consider a BUY (more for income vs. growth perhaps?) - if not, why?

BTW - have made money on most of your insights - THANK YOU

Q: I am a fan of renewable energy and have positions in the following - NPI - 4%, BEP.UN - 3% and INE - 3%. I would like to add to either BEP or INE to bring one of them up to 4%.
What would your preference be for a long term holding considering dividend safety and dividend growth as well as capital appreciation over the long term - 5 years +?
When I look at BEP on Morningstar I see a long term debt / equity ratio of 2.3. INE shows the same ratio at 7. Revenue growth at INE seems better. Is INE's debt level a concern?
Thank you

Q: I would like to purchase some dividend paying stocks for a non-registered account. What would be your top five recommendations for dividend paying stocks (minimum 3.5 % payout) that are also likely to have some capital appreciation over the next 3 years. Please do not include pipeline or financial stocks as I all ready have these two areas well covered. Also, are your recommendations good buys at this time.

Thanks

Q: Good Afternoon,
I don't follow the US market that closely, I'm looking for a handful of safer blue chip dividend payers ? Such as AT&T , perhaps you can list a few other names in various sectors you feel are well managed companies with good yield.
Thank-you

Q: FYI ...
I see questions posted about where to park money for short term periods and get a decent rate of interest. GIC's are mentioned but they have minimal rates and fixed terms. Virtual banks like EQ Bank currently offer daily interest at 2.3% with no minimum timeframe and are covered by CDIC (up to $100,000). They also offer GIC's.

Q: Hi,
I apologize if this has been answered before. Occasionally I have temporary cash balances in my Canadian registered and unregistered investment accounts. However, my broker does not pay any interest on those balances. Do you have any recommendations for short-duration money-market or bond-style or alternative etf's that earn interest and either pay out or increase in value? My only objective, besides earning a return, is that the etf units should maintain their value and not be subject to declines due to credit, interest rate or other risks (understanding that there is no such thing as entirely risk-free).
Thanks,
Derek
