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

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: 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

Q: From your original background provided by 5i, am I correct that even if the WGL Holdings merger does not go through that holders of these subscription receipts will be guaranteed the issue price of $31?
I understand the last hurdles are expected to be resolved in Q2 of 2018 yet the ALAr almost hit its 52-wk low of $24.61 today, a 20.6% discount. Are investors concerned Alta Gas will default on their financial commitment?

Q: Hello 5i,
In the recent sell off I sold enbridge for a tax loss and bought Algonquin as a replacement, thinking to sell it and buy enbridge again after thirty days. But, I have been thinking about keeping Algonquin in place of Endbridge. This because of possibly growing problems with pipelines and also the postive outlook for cleaner energy with Algonquin. I have been wondering, though, whether the absence of pipelines would be a big negative point for my utilities sector. So, I guess the question is whether clean energy utilities like Algonquin and Bep can replace the pipelines without too much loss in the utilities sector of one's portfolio?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I want to add some funds to the energy and financial sectors and I currently hold both ENB and FSZ from the model portfolios. Both have had increasing dividends for the past 5 years but both have also gone down in the past year.

I was wondering if you have any idea why FSZ has declined and if it is still ok to add to both these holdings?

Thank You,
Andrew
