Q: IS telus a smart buy now. Also if I buy now am I eligible for this years dividend payment? If so when do they payout?
Q: Where can I find a source of long run stock analysis --- say 30 years --- to look at "what if" scenarios looking at the stock using DRIP and not using DRIP. I prefer Dividend Aristocrats. Is there a list of Canadian Dividend Aristocrats? I read that in thirty years Royal Bank went from $3 to $100 and their dividend grew to equal the $3 cost of the stock 30 years ago thereby realizing a 100% yield. This reinforces the "buy and hold" philosophy.

Q: 5i team,
I want to understand more about ENB's debt. Most company web-sites allow the user to easily drill down under "Investor Relations" to find what one wants. The ENB web-site seems different - their Search engine asks "What can we help you find?" I tried to use this, but found it ineffective in finding what I want, debt or other info. Are you able to help on this? Thank you. Edward

Q: Hi, What is your view on this company ? The new Board has taken some serious steps to restructure company's business and its direction. Per, Monday's NR, company has agreed to sell all its US stores and focus on CDN stores. This transaction will result in lower cash flow from operations but help reduce debt considerably. What do you think of this move and its future impact on company's operations? Stock has current dividend yield of 3.5% and CIBC upgraded its rating and price target. Is the stock buyable at present prices for short to medium term investment ? Thanks

Vanguard Communication Services ETF (VOX)
Q: Hi 5i: Two questions - please deduct points as appropriate.
(1) I'm looking for a good telecom stock to complete a sector allocation. I hold BCE and Telus in another portfolio, so am considering Rogers. Can you suggest any others, preferably US, or perhaps a US Telco oriented ETF?
(2) As above, for the utility sector of the portfolio; a US utility, or a US utility ETF.
Your advice would be much appreciated. Regards Roland

Q: In the Financial Times on Saturday John Dizard wrote a column more or less saying that BIP was vulnerable to a short attack because of it's corporate structure based in Bermuda. Are you able to comment on the article. It seems that the writer thinks the chances of a short attack are minimal but that there is enough fog to create questions.
Can You give your opinion on his thinking.
I know this is not a straight forward issue to answer but we novice investors learn much when you give your approach. This is much appreciated.
