Q: Good morning! I am about to have 350K proceeds from the sale of a house, and wish to “park” it for probably 1 to 2 years. I would hope to be able to comfortably invest it into one or more equities paying a 4% dividend or more, and would appreciate the “ safest” names you might recommend (i.e low beta, not much downside risk). I am also looking at preferreds and would ask for a couple or more of names you might suggest, again with the payout of a minimum of 4%. My goal here is twofold – sustainable income and security. Growth is not a key element. Your comments and any alternative thoughts are appreciated!

Q: I am a long term dividend focused investor---I am looking at two utilities, GEI (gibson energy)and CPX (capital power). They have wuperior 10 year dividend growth according to todays globeinvestor article. Would you be comfortable with these as a dividend investment in a long term diversified portfolio for a person 5 years from retirement, as compared to the bigger more well know names enbridge, transcanada and inter pipeline?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: A company I have been very happy with (WFI.TSX) looks like it will be bought out and I am selling it. I am looking to replace it in my portfolio. Brookfield Rebewable (BEP.UN) looks like a good fit with its dividend but the current portfolio report is dated to September of last year. Is 5i still considering this an 'A' rated company.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I am looking to add a little punch to the Energy sector of an otherwise diversified portfolio. Energy currently makes up almost 20%, so I am not looking to add, but to hopefully refine. I am considering a swap of Surge (SGY) for Vermillion (VET). I like them both, but am leaning towards the income feature of Surge as well as the continuation of good results as was indicated in the last Q report. Could I have your thoughts to this?

Q: Hello,
I have been slowing adding stocks from the model and income portfolios over the last 3 months. I currently own G,DHX,BAD,SGY,ESL,SLF,DSG & SJ. All with 5K original investments. I now have another 15K to invest. Should I buy more shares of the stocks that are down that I currently own (BAD&SJ) or add new positions? If new what stocks would fit best?
Many thanks
Luke

Q: AT&T (T.US)

Hi Team, I know you don't specialize in US stocks, but I was hoping you could give me an opinion on AT&T. It appears to have a very low P/E of 10.7 TTM and pays a dividend of 5.06%. The payout ratio is 39.7%. The main negative I can see a potential forecast for lower earnings per share. Do you think this stock is worth owning for income long term?

Thanks. Michael

Q: Brookfield Global Infrastructure Securities Income Fund (BGI.UN)I am trying to look into this and am having trouble finding much on it. It has hit new highs the past 2 days and has a 5+ dividend. You haven't commented on it since just after its IPO just over a year ago. What does it do; why is it hot now.
