Investment Q&A

Q: Which Brookfield stock has the best prospects for a growing dividend over the next decade? For my long term portfolio, I currently own BAM.A. I am trying to decide whether to buy more BAM.A, or to buy some of the other Brookfields, such as BEP.UN, which you have in the 5i Income Portfolio.

Q: Brookfield Renewable is close to where it has previously double topped ....do you feel the share price this is getting dangerous now . I have a decent profit and could sell here or because.

Q: I have owned MCAN in my RRIF for some time. My RRIF holds primarily income stocks, and my more aggressive growth stocks are in an unsheltered account. MCAN just announced a nice big dividend increase. What is your opinion on this stock now? Thanks.

Q: PCG stock price has tumbled fast for reasons that are most unfortunate. Many customers are suffering due to power outages and some or all the blame might be attributable to errors by PCG. Given that electric utilities should be in higher demand due to our migrating from fossil fuel to cleaner power: (1) is PCG now a buy at its depressed price? (2) Should one wait for clarification on who or what caused the fires in California? (3) If interest rates rise as expected in December, how would PCG share price be affected? (4) If PCG is found to be at fault, could it survive a multi-billion payments for damages and penalties? (BP has still not recovered from its environmental crimes)

Q: Can you please comment on the recent earnings for A&W, Thanks Valter

Q: I am in my late 30's, and I have a long-term time horizon. However, I find myself gravitating towards stocks with stable businesses that pay dividends. I currently own BEP.un, NWH.un, CSH.un, and SLF.
For a long-term, yet somewhat conservative investor, what are some companies that I should consider adding to my portfolio? Thanks in advance!

Q: If you could buy one or the other right now - which of the two pipeline stocks Pembina Pipeline - PPL and Interpipeline -IPL would you choose? thanks

Q: Due to a 200+% rise in share price BIP.UN now comprises 21% of my portfolio. As this is a world wide diversified business, is this something I should pare down and if so How much ? The stock continues to perform well and I am having a hard time justifying selling it in favour of diversification.

Q: Could I get your opinion on DWS, ADW.A and CSW.A?

It looks like DWS is extremely undervalued by the market. Has traded sideways for the last 6 months but recently broke out.

Many Thanks!

Thank you

Q: I am retired, living on dividend income and looking for more yield to supplement my income. Thanks to 5i, I recently became familiarized with covered calls and chose ZWU yielding 6.5%.
Now I am interested in Debentures. I recently read in 5i Q&A a question on CSU.db debentures that guarantees 6.5% plus inflation rate to yield 7.5-8%, and your response was that it's a quality security.
Regarding Debentures, are they simply traded like a regular stock with scheduled dividends paid that can be bought and sold as I see fit without penalty?
Debentures seem like a low risk way to get a higher yield as the price hardly seems to fluctuate. Is this an accurate assumption?
Would you recommend for an income investor to invest 5-10% of portfolio into 1-2 debentures for higher yield? If so, can you recommend 1-2 that look most attractive for a 1-2 year hold?

Q: Apparently PIMCO has introduced an ETF version of this fund. Which would you prefer and why.
