Q: Hello 5i:
We currently hold about 4% of our portfolio in CSU.DB; bought first about 3 years ago with subsequent additions. It's been a very good and stable performer (thanks for the tip as in addition to the excellent dividend, we also have capital gains). Can you provide another name, possibly A ranked company that would have a similar fixed income contribution? Or, should we merely increase our weighting in CSU.DB?
btw, we also hold CSU (the regular equity) at about 3% of our portfolio.
thanks

Q: At what point does 5i acknowledge the severity of the problems at these companies, including reducing their 5i stock ratings? Both of these companies have been severely punished for very good reasons. Too much debt. Cant get the prices they wanted for asset sales. Cant sell shares into the market for a decent price. Interest rates are rising. They have backed themselves into a corner and have really damaged themselves, ENB more so then ALA. ENB future dividend increases are a fantasy, a cut is more likely. Yet still rated an A- ?
Q: Hello 5i team - you have/had a great long weekend!
My question is about Alta gas and their receipts for the WGL deal. The receipts are trading at 24.65 and the stock is at 23.84. If I understand this correctly if the deal goes through the receipts turn into stock so at 24.65 that would still be 8.88% dividend. And if the deal falls it gets paid at $31 per that would be a 25%+ gain ... what am I missing here - why shouldn't I purchase these receipts?
Thanks,
Sean.

Q: Good morning 5i,
I set up a DRIP program for my daughter's TFSA in BNS PKI and WSP. Dividends have been accumulating but no new shares have been added. Does the bank or the company determine when new share will be issued? Does each company have a minimum number before adding ( i.e. 3 or 5 ) before issuing? Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks for your great service ,
Gary

Q: you seem to get an awful lot of questions on altagas which i do not own, if i did buy it, i would only buy the receipts and not for the yield but for the capital appreciation if the deal fails.
my question is what are the chances the deal does not go thru. i think the chances of no deal are close to zero but value your opinion. dave

- BMO High Yield US Corporate Bond Hedged to CAD Index ETF (ZHY)
- iShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XHY)
Q: Hi, I purchased this and ZHY in a few registered accounts for the yield and thinking they might be a little more immune to decline in a rising interest rate scenario. Now I'm not too sure. Should I sell or are the prices reflecting recent interest rate bumps?
Many thanks you guys do a great job!

Q: I'm interested in buying more ALA for a long term hold, primarily for income. I have a couple of questions:
1) It seems the market is pretty negative on the acquisition. What do you think the main concerns are?
2) Normally, when a dividend yield gets this high the market is saying it is not sustainable. What's your opinion?
Thanks
Peter

Q: I am reaching for YIELD and at 9% the yield on QYLD is very appealing.
If the tech sector falls out of favour and drops like FaceBook did this week, what are the implications for the dividend? Would the share price drop too?
As a long term "HOLD" I can live with a lower share price because it would most likely recover over time.
But what about the dividend? Can I count on it holding at current levels or possibly even increasing?
Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
My bond portfolio needs some new additions and would like your take on the above, they are all in the 4 year time frame paying around 5%, these are high yield bonds available through my broker. Thanks and Happy Easter to all.

Q: I have 13K cash I am holding in my TFSA due to fear, but I want to "park" it in a high yield Reit or Energy stock/fund. Which out of each sector would you recommend, having a yield north of 6% and relatively safe. I was thinking ENF and Riocan or HR.
Q: i'm looking for a fixed income investment that pays around 2%. i don't want to lose any principal. aside from locked-in GIC's, is there such a product? even HFR is slipping lately and etfs like CBO and CLF only go one direction....down. thanks.
Q: Hi Team,
Can you please explain how this ETF works in terms of it's unit price. What might bring the price down, or up. I initially bought in at $10.07, to preserve capital, and now it's at $10.01. Can it lose it's value in any substantial way?
Thanks!

Q: Good afternoon,
I manage 2 portfolios. One is growth (Non registered and tfsa) and the other one is income (RRSP). The income portfolio is long term investments. I have stocks in every sector at equal weight (approx. 5%) except telecommunications in which I have no investment at all. Since the telecommunication sector has been dropping because of increases interest rates would still invest in them and if so, please, recommend the which stock would you buy?
Thank you,
Paul
