Q: my question regards our holding 2.5% in enb and 2.5% in ala both pay wonderful dividends but both are down about 6% in our portfolio...would you keep these both these stocks or remove one of them ...we also own a 1% weighting in wcp in energy but a 4% weighting in kwh.un and vnr...this is not a burning question but one that we feel possibly needs to be addressed and you are the people that know best so thank you for your advise...

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,

IPL is currently trading at a much lower P/E ratio (18X, 6.3% dividend yield) than PPL (35X, 4.8%) and ENB (50x, 4.9%). Would you please comment on what may have contributed to this.

Cheers,
Harry

Q: Hi 5i Team:
A couple of thanks first before getting to my question.
1. Thanks for the fantastic job you did on my portfolio review and the suggested transactions.
2. Thanks for your opinion and feedback on annuities.
I have some money to add to my fixed income. Are you still liking CLF for government bonds and CBO for investment grade corporate bonds. Time horizon is very long term. Or do you have some other suggestions.
Thanks so much.

Q: My broker has approached me to purchase the convertible debentures of Automotive Finco Corp He thinks that it close to another Carfinco

The yield is very tempting

What are your thoughts They have just increased the dividend Do they have the cash flow to support the dividend Would the common stock be less risky

Would Autocanada be a better buy

I would appreciate your insight

Q: First, a quick comment on Patient Home Monitoring regarding your response to Robbie's inquiry this morning. I agree the board members need to go but it's the present management that has turned around the debt, margins, revenues and general focus of this company and should they not be credited with doing a very difficult job in the face of such negativity as this stock has seen over the past two years.
I am building an income portion of my RRSP and currently hold KWH.UN, FC, HOT.UN and ECN.PR.C and would like an opinion on adding BCE and HR.UN. Canada is "possibly" ready to raise rates so are my present holdings and additions facing headwinds for that reason. I want to hold them for years and would be happy with just the dividends.
Thank you.

Q: Is there a way to determine whether the dividends paid out by a company will be taxed as income or will receive the dividend tax credit, in an unregistered account? for example: enb.to, enf.to, bep/un.to, bip/un.to, bns.to, ala.to, bce.to, eci.to, etc. I am looking for solid companies with growing dividends where these dividends will be taxed more favourably as dividends and not income. Would you have a list of suitable companies? Thank you.

Q: I bought RBA at 30, rode it to 52 and now it is 39 and change as of Friday. I thought it would be a steady stock for a good or poor economy. Last quarter was bad, but was compared to a record quarter from the previous year. What is your opinion of this stock: hold or sell? Thanks
