Q: PCG stock price has tumbled fast for reasons that are most unfortunate. Many customers are suffering due to power outages and some or all the blame might be attributable to errors by PCG. Given that electric utilities should be in higher demand due to our migrating from fossil fuel to cleaner power: (1) is PCG now a buy at its depressed price? (2) Should one wait for clarification on who or what caused the fires in California? (3) If interest rates rise as expected in December, how would PCG share price be affected? (4) If PCG is found to be at fault, could it survive a multi-billion payments for damages and penalties? (BP has still not recovered from its environmental crimes)

Q: I am in my late 30's, and I have a long-term time horizon. However, I find myself gravitating towards stocks with stable businesses that pay dividends. I currently own BEP.un, NWH.un, CSH.un, and SLF.
For a long-term, yet somewhat conservative investor, what are some companies that I should consider adding to my portfolio? Thanks in advance!

Q: Could I get your opinion on DWS, ADW.A and CSW.A?

It looks like DWS is extremely undervalued by the market. Has traded sideways for the last 6 months but recently broke out.

Many Thanks!

Q: I am retired, living on dividend income and looking for more yield to supplement my income. Thanks to 5i, I recently became familiarized with covered calls and chose ZWU yielding 6.5%.
Now I am interested in Debentures. I recently read in 5i Q&A a question on CSU.db debentures that guarantees 6.5% plus inflation rate to yield 7.5-8%, and your response was that it's a quality security.
Regarding Debentures, are they simply traded like a regular stock with scheduled dividends paid that can be bought and sold as I see fit without penalty?
Debentures seem like a low risk way to get a higher yield as the price hardly seems to fluctuate. Is this an accurate assumption?
Would you recommend for an income investor to invest 5-10% of portfolio into 1-2 debentures for higher yield? If so, can you recommend 1-2 that look most attractive for a 1-2 year hold?

Q: I currently have a little over $250,000 in cash which I want to park in a "no risk" account.
One of the big banks has a deposit rate of 1.15 for $250K and 1.05 for less than $250K. My first question: Is this my best option or can you recommend something else? My second question: should I be concern with the CDIC Deposit Insurance limit of $100K and spread the deposit over 3 banks?
