Q: Hi ,

It is becoming increasingly hard to ‘keep the faith’ with respect to dividend growth stocks given their overall returns over the last year or so.

In particular, Enbridge has been a huge disappointment in terms of overall return, along with VDY and XEI due to poor performance of bank and energy stocks.

I am looking at replacing ENB as its outlook from a technical perspective is poor https://canada.swingtradebot.com/equities/ENB:TSX

Any suggestions ? this would be for a buy and hold cash account.

Best Regards,
Paul

Q: US stock market almost recovered after a stunning run lately. The Canadian market is apparently still recovering. Do you think there is a rotation that will be going on, e.g. Canadian stock market, or non-AI stocks? I am wondering whether there are some Canadian stocks that may be benefit from the rotations that we can invest now?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
This stock has been like winning the lottery...it has risen about 50% since May. Needless to say it makes my day. So what do you think? Do you think that it has more room to run or should I cash in my winning ticket? Ha!Ha! Also if there is some kind of so called recession would it be seriously devalued.
Thank you for your opinion and insight...it is always a voice of reason! With respect...thanks again!

Q: Canadian telecom stocks have not been performing well recently.
1 ) Are Canadian telecoms strictly comparable to U.S. counterparts like VZ which has also not performed well but appears to trade more cheaply and with a higher dividend .
2) And if they are comparable , might that suggest that the Canadian companies could play catch-up to the downside ?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team

Reviewing the publicly listed mortgage investment corporations (MIC) on the TSX and TSXV.

1 - Are there any others listed on exchange(s) other than the five listed?

2 - Is Builders Capital Mortgage Mortgage too small (~$19M market cap) for consideration?

3 - What is the best metric to compare MICs - price to earnings / price to book / others?

4- What would be your ranking - best to worst?

5 - Any other considerations?

Thank you

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I am looking at topping up existing positions in BCE, BNS, TRP over the next 1-3 months, as funds become available.

Please rank them in order of :
a) Value (based on where their P/E (or whatever the appropriate metric) is currently vs over time),
b) Potential capital upside.
Any thoughts on technicals and seasonality would be appreciated.
My own thoughts are to add to TRP first, then BNS, then lastly BCE.

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: If the appeal process results in the current judge's order being upheld and Enbridge being forced to "move Line 5" (which sounds to the uninformed to be potentially rather costly) what is the possible effect on the equity - in other words, what are shareholders looking at as a possible downside, what is the risk of this worst case scenario, and what does the 5i crystal ball say will likely happen. Does this alter your positive outlook on this stock as a solid income hold with some likely capital improvement over time - is it still a buy. Thanks for your opinion on this news.
