Investment Q&A

Q: Can you suggest US companies with safe, high dividends? Other than Financial or Energy. I'm considering GIS but am open to other ideas. thank you

Q: What do you think of BCE as of late being that their dividend payout is sitting at 160% of earnings and their growth is slowing?

Do you think a dividend cut is in the offing down the road or would they risk the share price hit on that move?

Q: Do you know why trading in RSI was halted?
Thanks

Q: Hi folks, opinion on FY23 & Q4 results for Tamarak tve/t....Q4 seems greatly improved operational results, and nice paydown in debt....Buy/Hold/Sell....thanks as always, jb Piedmont QC

Q: Do you consider the dividend streams from the above companies to be safe? Do you forsee issues with even moderate growth for the companies as they say they are diversifying ( cough ). thanks al

Q: I'm looking at BIP and BEP primarily for dividend reliability and some growth. According to Morningstar, they both have very low return on assets (somewhat understandable given that they are very asset heavy) but also return on equity.

Normally, that would be enough for me to avoid the stock but they are both generally well thought of by analysts. What am I missing?

Thanks

Q: What do you think of their latest quarterly report from Innergex? The market never likes to see a cut in a dividend , and reacted accordingly
.Are there better alternatives in the renewable energy space , and would you please rank them . i already own BEP.UN

Q: BEPC has only gone down long term, including recently during a rising market. Yet analyst targets and fair value assessments range from $39-$46. The yield is approaching 6% and I would expect it to provide a floor for the stock soon. How safe is the dividend? Would you be averaging down at these levels if you had taken a small position at higher (mid-$40’s) levels?

Q: Hello, if one had to sell one of the above stocks which one would it be and why, my time frame is 2-3 years.

Thank you

Q: G'morning 5i,

I'm sitting on a fairly substantial loss on GXE in my TFSA. In trying to decide what to do, I first waited for the strategic review to complete, hoping that something positive would come of that. When it didn't, I next decided to wait for its latest earnings report, hoping for something positive there but, from my review of the numbers and despite management's rosy outlook, I don't see anything re-assuring there. either.
My inclination is to sell, take the loss and do something useful with the now severely diminished funds.
Occasionally in the past when I've made that decision with a losing investment, hindsight has caused me to regret it, and I think perhaps I should have been alert to signs that a turnaround was in the offing.
From your objective perch do you see any reason to hold GXE given the milquetoast strategic review and what I interpret to be the less than satisfactory recent earnings report?
I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.
Peter

Q: Hi guys,

Q: Recently retired and looking for growth and income and looking for suggestions with FTS. Have owned for 5 years and currently up 10.48 % over that time. One of my weakest performers in my rrsp. What would you do with this? Sell outright and replace with? I’m considering H as I own both and H has outperformed with 69.86% over the same time period. Which would you prefer for the next 5 years? H? FTS? ( is there hope for FTS) or something else and which would be buyable today?
Thanks for all your guidance
