Q: My apologies. I seem to have had a "Senior Moment" and written in the wrong company name and symbol. The question is about Canadian Utilities

I feel that I need to sell my Canadian Utilities as despite the nice 5.21% dividend with a 9 year streak rising annually, long term there seems to be no significant share price growth. I had thought they would do much better after getting off coal but evidently not. Is there any point in keeping CU in my TFSA other than just for the dividend?

Could you please suggest your best 8 Canadian Blue Chip stocks with dividends over 5% that I don't already own, and that come with steadily rising dividends and enough growth to justify putting them in my TFSA. I already own RY, BNS, CM, BCE, T, EMA, FTS, H, CPX, BEP, BIP, ENB, PPL, TRP. I could add to any of these if necessary but hope you could suggest some new ones I have "missed".
Thank you....... Paul W. K.

I feel that I need to sell my Capital Power as despite the nice 5.46% dividend with a 9 year streak rising annually, long term there seems to be no significant share price growth. I had thought they would do much better after getting off coal but evidently not. Is there any point in keeping CPX in my TFSA other than just for the dividend?

Q: Looking for income from bond etfs and dividend paying stocks that will appreciate in value if interest rates have peaked and gradually fall towards 3% (i.e. those that have been hit unduly hard due to inflationary fears). Suggestions?

They were included in prior revisions.

Q: TC Energy. There is a lot of talk about when the new pipeline in Canada will come online. When it does come online and provided there aren't any more delays, how much can we equate this to cash flow of the short - medium term? is it material?

Q: As a TRP dividend investor of 77 years old are the problems with the XL pipeline already baked? As I am a value investor for the most part would you suggest a switch to PPL or other suggestion? I have a 5 - 8 year time frame. I also hold ENB, SU, XOM and CVX as well as NXF as the energy part of my portfolio.
Stanley

Q: Hi 5i Team, I'm a retired dividend investor supported by portfolio dividends.

Currently, I'm holding positions in ENB and TRP for my pipeline weighting. I'm concerned about the lagging performance of TRP. What are your thoughts on trading TRP for PPL? Alternatively could also consider GEI or KEY.

Can you please list your favorite pipeline selections in order of growth and safety?

I like to hold 2 sector companies for diversification. Also, as TRP has been flat there are no cap gains. Please advise.

Thank you.
