Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have received a offer from SES to purchase shares between $11.40 and $13. The position I have is part of a diversified portfolio in my TFSA and I am up 90% at current prices and have really enjoyed the growing dividend. I am tempted to sell 1/3 of my position at the higher range of the offer to take some money off the table.

What are your current thoughts on SES as a company, its assets and market position?

What do you think of the offer given the current market price and this point in the cycle?

Thanks for the great service!

Q: What do you think of DXT's most recent results and prospects going forward.

Q: Hi Team,
What do you think of yesterday's results versus estimates.

I have a small SPB position in my RRSP (about 1%) and I am think about increasing my position. I own it mainly for income with, what I consider, a relatively safe dividend of 7.6%

I am thinking about gradually increasing my position to about 2-3% but I find the debt level a bit concerning, would you agree with the move?

I have some cash to deploy and I took many positions in the utilities sector in the last months and these positions are beginning to do well.

I would like to add some income diversification. What companies in other sectors (REIT, Financials, consumer staples, etc. ) could you suggest to add in a RRSP portfolio that pays a reasonable dividend, have a limited possible drop in price even in an economic downturn and a fair chance of capital appreciation over the next 2-3 years.

Thank you!

Q: Hi, With CDN interest rates maybe coming down I'm wondering if a switch from a covered call utility ETF (ZWU) to an equal weight ETF like ZUT makes sense? ZUT though has a fairly high MER, so is there a better option, or maybe better to just buy individual stocks. Thanks.

Q: You have recommended SPYD ETF in recent answers, and on doing some research, see Morningstar rates it as a one star and Seeking Alpha has a dismal article on it. Just wondering why you like it? They seem to like SCHD much better. Would you agree with this thesis for a Dividend ETF?
Thanks!
