Q: I am becoming interested in Enbridge as it gets close to 50 dollars. I was trying to find the payout ratio and I found it on a site it was paying out 102%. Is this correct? I find this hard to believe as everyone like to recommend this stock which would not wise if it cant cover dividend. Where do I find accurate pay out ratios?

Q: I have 100K to invest, with the requirement that it all be in dividend tax credit eligible stocks, income and minimal overall risk are more important than growth in this account. I would like to keep it to no more than 10 names at approx 10K each, so far I have come up with BNS, CM, ENB, TRP,BCE,FTS,NWC, T, ALA,SLF. Do you have any concerns or suggested additions.

Q: I know these iShares ETFs were just released, but wondering if you were able to form an opinion on these based on its current holdings. The MER seems quite reasonable and am wondering you feel these would be suitable to gain diversification outside of Canada.

Thank you!

Q: I am interested in investing in dividend growers that 5-6 years from now would be yielding in the 4 to 5% range. At that time I would change from DRIP to cash payments. Therefore I would accept a lower yield now but would grow to that range. What would you suggest?

Thank you

Paul
