Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
We hold Enbridge in a taxable account and are considering trading to another company with better growth potential. We like the dividend but one anaylist says that all earnings are needed to support the dividend. He thinks the stock price is over valued raising warning flags. Another anaylist likes the name and thinks it is good value.
Enbridge is in the 5i income fund. Is 5i still confident in the company? Our position at present is flat.
Thank you for your opinion

Q: Dear Sirs,
I am looking for 5 companies(Canadian and US ) that you feel would weather a good sized market correction well. I understand that the US is not a primary focus but would appreciate any names you feel comfortable suggesting as part of a grouping of 5 to 10 names. As an aside , would you view a holding of Berkshire Hathaway as meeting the above criteria.

With thanks

Q: I’m assuming that the holdings of PMIF are identical to PMO005, which are 48% securitized; 38% government; 22% corporate; 13% other.

Question 1: what is meant by ‘securitized’? Is that a good thing in a bond fund?

I’ve spent a day researching C$ bond ETFs and the more I research, the more confused I become.

Question 2: Is PMIF about as good as any other bond ETF out there?
I’m not too concerned about fees or yield, as what I’m looking for is low volatility, preservation of capital, with a reasonable total return.

Thanks.

Q: Hi.
I keep my Telco at a 5% portfolio weighting. Presently I have 3/5ths BCE. How do you recommend I fill up the other 2/5ths? All in BCE presently with positive momentum. Telus to match the 5i portfolio recommendations. AT&T to take advantage of American Dividend and Share price drop? This will be held in a registered account. Thank you J
