Q: After reading why dividends are the most stable form of total returns, which ETF would be considered a “dividend aristocrat” in the US? I already own VYM high dividend yield, VGH dividend appreciation and VHT health care. I would replace or add to current etf. Thank you Kim

Q: Regarding Maurice's question about the estimated income for PMIF, as 5i has noted elsewhere it is an etf that duplicates the Pimco mutual fund PMO005. While the indicated yield is small, the average annual return of the latter is 6.62% after one year, 5.19% after three years, 6.42% after five years, and 10.95% since inception. These numbers far exceed the benchmark. Since the etf has less expenses, wouldn't the etf exceed the returns of the mutual fund? Thank you.
Q: Please give an updated recommendation on Cogeco Communications.
The 12 month chart looks so much better than previous years.

to do with my success. Thank you!

Q: hello 5i:
Looking at CAR.UN, I see present AFFO is 22.3 vs a normal AFFO of 17.1. I note you're still recommending it when looking back at past questions. I'd like to add to my holdings; can you help justify the valuation?
thanks
Paul

Q: Is there an estimated income for this income fund?
Q: I am trying to break my need to hold on to my losers. I have held KPT for 4 years with nothing to show other than the dividend. I like the dividends but I don't have need of them at this time and I want something with some growth too. Should I give it up? If so any suggestions for a replacement?
Thank you
Thank you

Great work
Keep reminding people to stop looking at their bond returns.
Everything equity is going up but people email you about a small loss on their bonds. Smooth seas only last so long and those bonds are there when the storm hits.

Q: I have recently sold my cottage and wanted to know where to invest the money to get the best safe return. I already have reached my comfort level in stock investments so in today's low rate environment where would I find the highest rate of bond gic etc as I plan to retire in 3 years and this money is my safety net thanks.
Q: CPX took a hit following their last quarter, but they did raise their dividend and still have around a 50% payout (correct?). With the lower price, I am considering buying some, mainly for the dividend as opposed to capital gains (I'm retired and always looking for income). Some questions:
- has their coal-plant issue been satisfactorily resolved
- is their debt level in line with other power producers
- what do you think of their movement towards renewables
- do you consider the dividend sustainable (yeah, I know . . . )
- how successful have they been in meeting estimates
- would you buy today for income (I already hold AQN and NPI)
Thank-you

Q: Hello 5i,
Which preferred do to you prefer? Pardon the pun.
I'm seeking USD dividend income from Canadian companies to take advantage of the div tax credit. Can you suggest other vehicles or strategies to achieve this?
Are these perpetual or rate reset? With rates increasing, why aren't these going down in value? The yield seems to be north of 5%. Any obvious risks I may be overlooking?
Thank you.

Q: From your answer to Milan :
A diversifed portfolio of bond issuers (corps, gov, prefs, high yield) will earn a better yield and is more appropriate from a higher income need aspect. Bonds can actually see capital appreciation if rates were to decline, or even hold steady. Cash/GICs would not benefit in this case. Overall, we remain on the side of diversification. Hold a bond portfolio with various issuer types and add in some GICs and/or cash. How you weight these reflects your views and tolerance.
Could you suggest a diversified bond portfolio with various issuer types that should produce more than the 2.75% offered by Tangerine?
