Q: In the coming years, GIC rates will likely return to their previous norms, making it rare to find a GIC offering 5% or higher. I am considering increasing my holdings of TD shares in my non registered income portfolio instead of keeping too much cash. My theory is that TD has always been, and continues to be, a reputable bank that generates good profits. I believe TD shares are currently at a relatively low point, and I am thinking of giving them a heavier weighting in my portfolio. Do you agree? Thanks for your insights.

Q: good morning. just read your report on bns and was hoping to hear what you thought of the dividend in the future. To be short it has been very disapointing in growth over many years and just wondering what were your thoughts going into the future.
I realize it has a good dividend now but as a dividend growth investor i also want some growth. Do you see any in the future?

Q: I own PRL shares and am happy with their performance. The shares have risen rapidly over the past year and I wonder if shares, either a partial or full position, should be sold. I have seen some data that shows very rapid growth in EPS over the next couple of years .Can you provide key metrics over the next two years that would support your position on this company. Also over this period what would be a reasonable multiple of earnings for the shares? If possible could you factor in its recent acquisition. Thanks.

Q: What can you tell is about this stock. Dropped from over $100 to $14.00 in last ten years yet pays an outsized dividend. Is it a buying opportunity?

Q: In regards to TD - the issue of accountablity arises. The AML lapses were well known inside the company - judging by the "LOL" internal emails. The CEO has profusely apologized - has he received any kind of consequences? Just generally at what point do the board of directors ever suffer consequnces for these type events - can you cite any examples? Just frustrating that branch managers or tellers might be held to account but not highly paid upper management for their lack of supervision.
Regards

Q: Hi 5i, Can you please explain what Brookfield's Oct 9/24 announcement re "Reorganization of Brookfield Infrastructure Corp" means for shareholders like me that hold full positions in BIP.UN vs BIPC. As other 5i subscribers have mentioned, does this reorganization suggest that BIPC will continue to gain vs BIP.UN? Thanks.

Q: not a question; just information........and a request

i get it, we're all in it to make money yet this company would make a loan shark blush


check out their site "creditfresh"

borrow $1,500 and pay back monthly (from website)

month 1 - $184 'billing cycle charge' and $30 (2% of principal) for a total of $214
month 2 - $184 fee + $29.40 principal
month 3 - $184 fee + $28.81

etc etc etc

it 'appears' that if you let this run the full 48/50 months you would have paid $5,070 in fees

i would be curious if another member can run the numbers and confirm or explain where i went wrong

thanks

Q: I own both as well as stocks like Bip, Bepc, …. I want to own more of BMA and/or BN.
should I own 1 or both? And if 1 why? And if 2 why as well.

Part of my objective here is buy stocks whose size and diversity adds a degree of safety both short term and longer term. Hopefully that is doable here.

Thanks for your help.,
