Q: With about a 9% indicative yield at current stock price - SOBO looks very attractive as income investment for the medium-long term. I can't believe that the spin-out would be created with anything but a very solid sustainable dividend - so the high dividend yield in this case is more a sign of unfamiliarity and churn as opposed to "risk". Do you agree with this view??
Thanks

Q: In a response to Marco today you indicated that BCE has a 12 month trailing cash flow of 7.6B, compared to dividends of 3.7B. Does this imply a payout of just under 50%, or am I missing something? I thought BCE's payout was well over 100%. If the 50% figure is correct, why all the concern about a dividend cut? Please clarify.
Thank-you

Q: What is your assessment of today's financial engineering announcement regarding BEPC? Can you give me a good reason to stick with BEPC versus switching to FTS? FTS is a blue chip utility with a normal corporate structure. My gut is telling me to stay well clear of the Brookfield group of companies, fearing that their corporate shuffling and financial wizardry will end badly one day.

Q: Hi,
The BCE dividend is presently at almost 9%.
Would it be a smart move to buy it just for the dividend? The thing is I don’t want to lose capital that offsets the dividend either.
Knowing no one can predict future company actions, do you think they will cut their dividend?
Do you see the stock price drop if they don’t raise their dividend in February?
Where do you see BCE stock price in 5 to 10 years? Does it at least stay flat?
Thanks

Q: I have a GIC coming out with an auto reinvestment rate of 3.75%. I would like to buy 5 stocks as well as 5 elf's or .......? that pay at least 5% and are reasonably safe with possible capital gains. This will a total of 10 investments of 10k each. I think that we can do much better than 3.75% and would appreciate your recommendations or suggestions! Thanks, James

Q: Have about $18.0 K U.S. that I would like to put to work for 30 to 40 months. Would appreciate suggestions - ETF or individual security. Sector not too relevant although, like most Cdn, investors, I am overweight financlals and resources. Keeping the funds in U.S., a mix of capital appreciation and reinvested dividends would be nice. Thanks for all the 5i Team do and a shout out to all the members whose thoughtful questions have helped me in recent years.
