Q: Hi 5i,
TRP executive team members seem to have little direct ownership in the stock but a significant amount of out of the money options for compensation. It looks like CEO bought stock on recently but do you think the executive team has much skin in the game? Can I get your high level thoughts on whether this might be a high quality income stock as well as a good entry price?
thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I have reviewed the questions on these two ETF's and I would like to confirm my thinking. I need to increase both my international and U.S. sectors, one more than the other. As I understand it, if I purchase LIFE, then my international sector would improve over HHL and if I purchase HHL, then my U.S. sector would improve over LIFE. Beyond geographic sector allocation I am largely indifferent albeit with a slight preference for HHL more due to its MER more than anything else.
So, are my assumptions correct and would you have anything further to add in terms of preferring one over the other that I may have overlooked?
Many thanks as always!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hi
I'm trying to build a concentrated portfolio of Canadian dividend payers. If I want to add a few more names for diversification and safe/good yield, what others would you recommend?
Thanks,
Carlo

Q: Good morning!
As a dividend investor, I am noting that BNS now pays 1.25% higher dividend than EIF. I hold full positions in each. I am considering selling EIF and doubling down on BNS. I see BNS as having - as well as a higher dividend - an upside in the order of 50% when the economy stabilzes and perhaps the Ukraine war is over. I do see growth from EIF, but think that in a 2 to 5 year window EIF might see steady growth with perhaps a maximum of 25% upside, seemingly less than the bank. What do you think of this reasoning, and are there any reasons why this might not be a good idea? This swap would be in registered accounts (50% TFSA and 50% RIF), so there are no immediate tax implications.
Thanks! ... Paul K

Q: I really like the look of this company's juicey dividend,but i am concerned about the trend of all the doctor's (mine included)even though the pandemic for the most part completely over they are still doing a lot of telephone appointments, and the need for office and clinic's i would think can only decline going forward in our digital world.
Maybe i am overthinking this but this, looks like a good entry point, your thoughts would this be a buy for a2-3 year hold,,,Thanks

Q: Non registered account : I sold a majority of stocks in 2022-2023 in order to convert them into a diversified dividend ETFs portfolio.I though intend to only keep" safe stocks for long term".Please could you rank them in this "safety perspective" , a "hold,buy, or sell" comment would be greatly appreciated,considering the fact that in this case,selling a stock would result in "buying an ETF in the same sector" .Many Thanks for your excellent website ,J-Y

Q: Am retired and looking for regular income from dividend paying stocks.
Is there such a thing as a EFT that holds only dividend producing stocks that then pays out the dividends on a regular basis? If so can you suggest any?
