Q: Hello Team.. My question is on TRP which has a 48% ownership position of Bruce power station. Could this be considered a risky asset considering the high cost of future repairs and the potential liability of an accident given its advanced age. I have considered TRP as core holding with a great dividend but the nuclear side of the equation concerns me. I have a strongly positive bias towards nuclear energy so your perspective would be appreciated. Thanks. Gary

Q: I have 6000 shares bought around $23.00 of tpz. Div. is $1.20 a year. Key. recently bought major purchase from Plains and upgraded to buy. Dividend is $1.92 a year. Your opinion of both companies please. At current prices would you sell tpz and buy key.?
Q: What do you think of tou. is it a buy now or wait a while. Do you think the future looks good.
Q: hi folks:
what am i missing here?
time and again, when a dividend company comes under pressure (in this case AQN) all the wags talk about 'soaring and unsustainable dividends'
this clip from today:
Yes – Algonquin’s juicy dividend. The drop in share price has caused Algonquin’s dividend to soar. As of the time of writing, the stock is down over 50% year to date, while the dividend yield has swelled to 10.93%.
That’s an insane, if not unsustainable, dividend yield. Even if Algonquin were to slash its dividend in half, it would still offer a very competitive yield, and still one of the better-paying options on the market.
the dividend $ has NOT changed; only the yield as a % of share price has
either the company can support the dividend or it cannot
my point: a dividend is a reflection of the strength of the balance sheet and the companies cashflow
that the price gets knocked in half is irrelevant to the dividend paid
UNLESS said bal/sht and cashflow will no longer support the divy at that amount
(yes, i understand that the current price reflects people's belief that the balance sheet cannot continue this level of dividend)
so, are these type clips just sensationalizing or am i completely wrong?
again.........
thx
happy new year team

- Bank of Nova Scotia (The) (BNS)
- BCE Inc. (BCE)
- Enbridge Inc. (ENB)
- Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM)
- TC Energy Corporation (TRP)
- Power Corporation of Canada Subordinate Voting Shares (POW)
Q: The above companies dividend yield is more than 6%. Three of them, BNS, CM, and POW have dropped in price by 20% or higher. BCE has dropped by 8%, and TRP has dropped by 6%. ENB has actually increased in price around 8%. I own all of them. Thinking of adding some Canadian dividend shares. Question is which of these dividends are safe going forward. Can you rank them based on dividend safety. Also, please rank them for potential price gain/loss for 2023. Any other with reasonably good dividend, dividend safety and potential for gain in price.
Q: Hi, Toumaline stock has come under pressure, over past 2 weeks. Natural Gas prices have also been trending lower for some time, with today's reports about warmer weather forecasts for USA and Europe, through January, 2023. What is your outlook on NG and LNG prices and supply/demand situation, for 2023 and beyond ? Do you believe that despite near term headwinds, stock could continue to outperform and should be part of ownership, in Energy sector ? Thank You
- Sun Life Financial Inc. (SLF)
- Canadian Tire Corporation Limited Class A Non-Voting Shares (CTC.A)
- Savaria Corporation (SIS)
Q: I am working to balance out my portfolio; being low in both Consumer cyclical and defensive names. The objective for one purchase is income /modest growth and CTC.A is of interest. It appears (still) in a number of income lists, has a sporadically growing dividend and shows a current dividend of 4.85%. It is down over 22% on the year. I'd appreciate your take on this stock and any insights if you have a worthy competitor for this purchase. Many thanks and a Happy New Year.
Q: Telus's share price has declined recently, making the dividend very attractive for income investors. What would you consider to be the biggest risk of investing in Telus? Is the stock cheap in your estimation? Would you be comfortable in buying at the current share price?

Q: Hi, Telecom stocks have been weak over past few weeks, perhaps due to bond yields creeping higher, once again. Is there any other reason/news which could have impacted the sector ? Telus, has been particularly soft and broke its 52 weeks low, in today's trading - any ideas, why? How do you foresee this sector and BCE/T performing over 2023 ? Thanks

Q: hi. I am still holding AQN. it represents about 3% of my portfolio now. I am considering selling. can you provide me 5 names of dividend companies ( dividends 3.5% or higher please) that you feel will have decent growth ( hopefully gaining back the capital loss from AQN's slide). they do not have to be sector specific, just your highest conviction names, regardless of sector.
cheers, Chris
