Q: I am considering adding to my current position in ABBV.

The stock is down close to 18% since the last earnings report. I'm sure the whole Humira thing had been priced in all along, but as of the last report, has the company outlook really changed that much to justify the size of this pullback? Are you comfortable with adding at this point, or should one have patience? I think the debt continues to be reduced quarter by quarter, which should help.

Q: I noticed that LIF had dividends paid as follows: April past-50 cents, January past 70 cents, last October 1.00 and last July 90 cents.

So was this a dividend cut in April, or were the other amounts special dividends?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: Can you confirm for me if the price of Enbridge (ENB:CA) was above $60 in April 2015 please?

The 10 year ENB:CA chart I see on the 5i website (and on the Stockcharts website) appears to be quite different than the price chart I see in my BMO Investorline (/ Koyfin, the barcharts website, and a quick google search).

First time I’ve ever noticed something like this, so I’m just confused and wondering which chart is the correct chart to follow? Thanks for your help.

Q: Retired dividend-income investor. We hold AQN in my wife's RRSP...held it since 2011...bought it at $5.60 and trimmed it several times over the years.

I am debating whether to flush it and take the proceeds and buy ZUT. I also own FTS, TRP and other utility-energy equities contained within ZLB and CDZ.

For the "keep AQN" argument = a) good momentum YTD = +27%, b) great chart, especially with the 50 mda overlay, c) if there is a take-over of AQN, there is a probable premium of "who knows "% (30%?).

For the "flush AQN" argument = a) with other planned cash injections throughout 2023, this would improve my overall sector allocations, b) minor point, but it would simplify my portfolio, by the elimination of a holding (I hold a reasonably concentrated portfolio of 12 blue chip stocks and 10 ETF's, plus fixed income), c) I thought I read that AQN is not expected to have a high rate of growth this year, d) the holdings inside ZUT look appealing, containing both renewable and non-renewable.

I am ok letting it ride for a while longer, but also ok flushing it. Your thoughts? Am I missing anything? I know you can't compare a single stock to a diversified ETF.

Thanks for your help...much appreciated...Steve

Q: How stable is the $2 dividend, currently yielding 8%?
