Q: Hi Peter & team: Long time member- Great service - Thank You!
With regards to Hans' question about Brian Acker's views on Market call- I took it as more of an issue about when cash dividends in $ paid out per share are greater than EPS. Brian used BCE and ENB as examples of an early sign of trouble and one should avoid such situations. You have handled this in the past (very well) Can you provide us a refresher on the opposing view ? If I remember correctly the net is basically "dividends out greater than EPS is OK, but not forever " Thanks in advance.

Q: Brian Acker was on Market Call on September 26. He was asked about some high dividend payers such as BCE and ENB. He said that these high dividends reduce the book value of these stocks, so that in effect one is not really getting a true high yield.
Can you explain this or have a comment?
Thank you, Cheers

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
Would you please rank the companies for the sustainability of their dividend going forward?

Thanks so much for your input.

Q: I have been thinking of replacing PKI with EIF in my RRIF over the last few months. During this time PKI has been steadily rising ( in a weak/ declining market) while EIF has been following the market down. The EIF decline has been quite substantial from what I see is a strong company with good prospects. Is there something wrong with the company that us retail investors don’t know about. ? Is there a rerating of the company going on ? Several analysts have been more positive on PKI. Should one expect strength in this stock to continue. ? Trying to figure out when ( and if ) I should make the switch. My gut says to wait this out. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi, I’m overweight Telus, and although I like it, I feel it is stuck in this low range until it gets much better quarterly results. Do you agree?
So as a dividend investor I would like to sell part to a more reasonable weight, and would like 3 suggestion for another dividend replacement.( sector not a big issue). Thanks

Q: Would you finally pull a plug on ADW.A:CA since its value has been relentlessly going south ? Your hopes expressed in May 2023 report have not materialized in the stock valuation. Having lost over 50% of its value in my portfolio I am not longer optimistic about it recovery in foreseeable future.

Q: I am thinking of buying Rogers Communications for future growth in the share price. My investment horizon is more than 10 years. Would you say that Rogers is a better choice than BCE or Telus? Please explain the reasoning.

Also, is the current share price of RCI at a good price to buy it or would you wait for it to drop some more?

And what class of shares would be better to buy (Class A or Class B)? Please explain why. Thank you for your insights.

Hello.. I really like the idea of a nicely balanced "mom" equity portfolio. You mentioned FTS for example. Could you please suggest what stocks you would put in it mainly for dividend income [hopefully yielding 4.5% or better] and enough growth to counter inflation over the long term.
Thank you............ Paul W K.
