Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I know that utility and pipeline companies usually have higher than normal debt levels but would any of these cause you concern? A quick comment on each company would be appreciated and whether you would buy, hold or sell. Thank you!

Q: Hi there yesterday you were answering about buying BCE after a rate cut. You said many are “expecting” it. Are you?

You said awhile back you were not expecting it but has your stance changed?

Might be better to do a Sell for losses now in an unregistered account then wait and buy back after the cut? I’m a long time holder and believer but getting nervous!

Ok thanks

Q: Hello 5i, Could you give your opinion as to now that Capital Power is totally off of coal and is now considered a green company, would there be interest of a takeover of Capital Power and if so which companies could be considered to be interested in taking over Capital Power. I think Transalta would be a front runner.

Q: Can you go over your thoughts (other than sector differences) between these 2 types of products. I know they both use covered calls to generate additional income and that one is a split share.

Would a product like umax typically keep its payments at some level more consistently (as there is no preferred share to protect)? Is the upside (downside) potential higher on the split?

That is what I am thinking are the main differences but wondering if there are any other differences in how you see them.

If one was lookig at a swap from FTN to umax to keep a similar yield and lower leverage risk is that a reasonable view?

Q: hi, I am down on all these names. I am considering adding to (some of?) them. I am looking for some growth in share price ( to match or beat inflation ) and a consistent growing dividend ( matching or beating inflation ). I also don't want to end up with another AQN or BCE scenario. could you kindly give us your advice on these names and include your thoughts on whether they are a buy (add to ), sell, or hold please.
cheers, Chris

Q: My utilities holdings include BIP.UN (3.9% of total equity), H (2.1%) and FTS (1.9%). Considering the momentum of CPX and its higher dividend than either H or FTS, what would your thoughts be about the idea of selling both H and FTS to buy CPX? Seems to present more growth potential and higher dividend. My thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
Any idea what's going on with Keyera? Right now, it's defying gravity and I don't think there's a single analyst out there who has called that, and although I own it and I like it, to me the underlying numbers don't justify the heady heights it's reaching. Any thoughts?
Thankyou,
Peter

Q: My wife and I are mainly dividend investors. We tend to hold our stocks for many years. Due to the significant increase in the value of our stocks this year, we are considering reducing the percentage of some stocks in our portfolio by about 10%.

Could you please give your opinion as to which of the following stocks you would reduce. Would you reduce one or two selected stocks, or perhaps reduce across the board? All of the reductions would be in registered accounts. You can assume the stocks are all about the same percentage of our portfolio.

The stocks are:
BAM
BEP.UN
BIP.UN
BCE
EMA
FTS
NA
RY
SLF
TD
