Investment Q&A

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

Q: Reviewing my portfolio at this time of year,i have decided to take a more defensive approach for 2018.I have recently purchased a couple of gold stocks(aem & lk).I am unsure if gold still has the downside protection for a portfolio that it used to.
Also with the expected interest rate increases will dividend paying large caps have the desired benefit of portfolio protection?
Do you have any suggestions on some debt free dividend paying companies that will do well in a flat or slightly down market.I don't care if they are small,medium or large cap companies!

Q: In a recent reply to a question about DR, you concluded with a sentence:
'This makes it tough to have a whole lot of confidence on the potential cash flows.'
Could you please expand on this as it sounds like you are 'forecasting' a future drop in earnings / cash flow? Can you share any evidence you have that would support this view?

Q: Hi 5i
I am frustrated with AD and am looking at a replacement in an RSP account. Could you give your opinion and rank order for a long term hold of CGX, ECI and ABT. Do you think each will kept in the PF? Thanks for your help.

Q: What is your take on this company ? All reports seem to confirm the current dividend is safe. Regardless of healthcare funding, the surgical centres will continue to operate, so presumably the cash will continue to flow. Canaccord downgraded the stock but others rate it much higher. What then is the rationale for the recent decline in the stock price and what is the outlook over the next year ?

Q: I currently hold a very small position in Enbridge (1.5%) and a very large position in CDIC-guaranteed High Interest Savings Accounts (HISA's). I am retired and capital preservation has become important to me. HISA yields are about 1% while ENB yield is more than 5%. However, ENB dipped below $44 briefly this morning, which represents a 20% drop over the past year. Would you recommend switching some of my HISA's to ENB at this time to obtain a better yield?

Q: PBH is down bigtime today but I am far more concerned about ENB. PBH is still very much in an uptrend as it has been since 2009. ENB on the other hand, is in a downtrend and has been for a year now. And, very, very rare for a Balanced Equity stock, has been showing up in the 52 week low column a number of times in the past while. What do you see for ENB. Are you considering any changes?
