Q: Hello Peter
sold all of BCE last year for capital loss
have some cash in my rrif
for income, I noted that it is in your income portfolio
some analyst like Telus instead
for income, would you rank BCE as buy or hold at this stage
would you prefer utilities or pipelines instead for potential for some gains?
thanks

Canadian Life Companies Split Corp. 2012 Preferred Shares (LFE.PR.B $10.48)
-
Premium Income Corporation Preferred Shares (PIC.PR.A $16.43)
Q: Could I get your views on the preferred share part of a couple split share funds, in particular the two above, which recently had new issues. I am not interested in the equity side of the split shares, but the recent preferreds have caught my attention, admittedly from the relatively high yield and the underlying investment being in solid companies. How consistent/sustainable are these dividends and what are the downsides to these stocks?
Thank-you
Thank-you
Q: Hi could you please give an update on SO - it’s kind of moved sideways in for quite awhile so wondering if you see it moving any time soon.

Q: Relating to ongoing AI buildout. I have exposure to the power generation side through Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN), Duke Energy (DUK), and Constellation Energy (CEG), maybe some overlap here.
Given that I am effectively covered on green power, regulated utilities, and nuclear baseload, what are the best complementary high-yield blue chips in Data Center REITs, midstream energy, or industrial supply chain that would diversify my AI exposure without duplicating my existing utility holdings?" I was thinking
Realty Income for physical space. It has high yield however may not play in that space, but what about DLR for eg to compliment (lower yield however)

Q: Cdn Banks and Lifecos are going gangbusters, with rising shares and increasing dividends. What would possess the admins of CEW.TO to cut the monthly distribution by 3%? See https://dividendhistory.org/payout/tsx/CEW/ Is this a bad sign that the ETF provider is not delivering value to holders?
Q: I would like your top 3 selections to invest in (and why) under the following scenario.
In your view moderate risk Canadian stocks, with a clear pathway (sjt externalities) to forecast stock price gains of >15% annually, yet having an annual dividend of 3% or greater. Exclude Oil stocks and major Bank stocks.
I know...it is asking a lot and if we could do this reliably we'd already be retired and on a beach somewhere! Thanks for all you do...

Q: I'm dreaming of buying a beaten down stock with a great dividend at its lowest point. Am I living in a fool's paradise? Would you buy it here? Concerns over it's dividend being cut?
Q: Looks to be substantial insider buying at Telus in the last 3 months as well as a company buybacks.Can you please confirm this as my source is canadian insisider.
Q: I notice for so many stocks that there is a huge increase in trading volume in the last 5 days or so of every third month. South Bow is a nice example. It trades about a million shares or less daily for most of the time then trades 3 to 5 million shares daily for the last 5 to 7 trading days in the months of March, June, September, December.. The pattern repeats every quarter.
Could you please explain this pattern for me.
Thank you Paul K.

Q: If you had 10K to invest - and were interested in dividends and some growth, in what order would you rank these regarding total anticipated returns ?
Q: I recently sold my Hydro holdings and replaced it with BEP.UN partly to help increase my dividend/income, this was done in a RRSP. Thoughts and a comparison of the two. Also can you comment on the recent announcement of issuing shares of BEPC to buy shares of BEP.UN it looks like BN are not happy with the current price spread of the two.
