Q: On BNN recently this stock was recommended. I liked his justification.
I read some of your responses to questions from last year. I understand management had an issue and paid a fine and CEO replaced.
A statement I read was that currently their payout ratio is well above 100%.
I get the feeling you are not enamoured by this company.
Can you please confirm I) payout ratio and ii )your feeling is maybe hold off until fundamentals improve.
Thanks

Q: Looking at the insider trading of Enbridge Directors, I noted that the number of shares held by the Directors in May 2024 was over 900,000. The corresponding number of shares held by Directors on February 20, 2025 dropped to about 210,000.
Can you please comment with respect to inside trading at this company ? Is the drop in the number of shares held by the directors an issue ?
Thanks

Q: I own TOU and TPZ and like them both for long term holds. TOU was recently added to the 5i income portfolio. Why go with TOU as apposed to TPZ, which is more of an income structured investment. Do you feel that TOU will offer a better total long term return both with respect to their dividend and capital appreciation?

Thanks.

Q: Huge and unexpected drop in stock price today that may be related too a decrease in the dividend.

For those who hold POU in a TFSA, do you see today's stock price huge drop as a buying opportunity or is the stock expected to be in the dog house for quite some time.

Thank you and I'll await your response.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

With the intent of better opportunities elsewhere, would YOU be a seller of BCE held in a registered account? (A significant loss, given the time we've held BCE)

Or, would YOU consider it a hold?

If a seller, would YOU add to our current holdings in Telus?

Or would YOU not stay in the sector for the time being due to all the headwinds it’s experiencing?

Thanks for your help.
