Q: Re your answer to Terry Nov 3rd. Q: previously, you have described the effect of high rates depressing dividend stocks, and increasing yields. In your answer to Terry you describe markets rallying due to a rate pause, followed by a decline as rates are cut. Will dividend stocks rally and then decline in the same way, or will the attraction of the dividend cause them to behave differently. Are dividends currently at their high point or will yields be even higher if/when the market declines during/after rate cuts.
Thanks Peter.

Q: NWC, good company and stock but approaching a resistance area. I feel it's time to take the profit and sell. But what to replace it with?

Could you pleaase provide a few suggestionsto consider. A dividend payer, solid company making profits, currently at a price with good upside over the next couple of years.

Thanks so much.

Read an article expounding the virtues of Cogeco and its holdco . Article cited low P/E and payout ratios as well as equivalent dividend rates based on current price with expected re rating to get discounts lower than present versus BCE and T. What do you think of this and as well the option of CCO versus CCA
Thanks for all you do

Q: Good morning,

My intention is to move some US $ from my US Non Registered account to my CDN $ Non Registered account through a journal transfer.

I just sold a US ETF and with the proceeds purchased TRP.US

Q1. Are the TRP.US dividends paid in US $ or CDN$?

Q2. Do the TRP.US dividends generated in the US Non Reg Acct qualify for the Canadian Dividend Tax Credit?

Q3. Can I simply call my TD Direct Investing broker to move TRP.US from my US Non Reg Acct to my CDN Non Reg acct?

Thank you and I'll await for your response to these three questions.

Q: May I please get your thoughts on this company and maybe how it compares to other oil companies like suncor/exxon/chevron. It looks like PSX are more concentrated in refining than production. Thanks.

Q: What metrics do you look at to determine if long term holds for dividend income are still safe for that dividend income? I have a pretty diverse portfolio and more than half of it is in banks, oil, telecoms and utilities. I have held these since before Covid, Financial crisis, two wars presently raging and introduction of AI, let alone the Climate Change growing issue. So I'm looking out say 10 years and want to look at each of my long term holdings to determine if they are still long term eligible and if so will their dividends be safe. Any thoughts on a frame work/lens that I should be considering in this kind of a review?

Q: An analyst recently reported that new contracts for EIF in medivac and maritime surveillance are coming on board in 2025 and will bring a "huge" increase in income as well as profits? First, are these contracts set in stone? And second, do you think these contracts will in fact make a "huge" difference in EIFs growth and stock price? Finally, is it worth buying the stock now in anticipation of this growth?

Q: Dear 5i team.

Of the badly beaten up Utilitiy stocks, please rank the top three from the worst five that have the best chance of significant bounce once interest rates peak or decline.
A couple reasons why for each would help as well.

Many thanks for your help.
