Q: Dear 5i
When stocks that payout dividends/interest monthly i assume the share price of the stock temporarily goes down after the distribution is payed . If that is correct would it be wise to buy into that stock at that point when the stock is lower after the distribution ?
Also i can't decide whether to top up my enbridge position or start a new position in pembina . Do you have a preference ? Is it a good time to take on an energy position in addition to CNQ which i currently have ?
Thanks again and deduct as necessary .

Q: With the proposed buy price $250 and the current price 248-249, and no additional bids likely does it make sense to sell now?
If I hold will I get an equivalent $ value of IMO shares?
And is there any idea when it would close?
Would we receive all the dividends in the meantime?
If the deal falls through would you expect a 10-15% drop in share price?
Thanks 🙏

Q: I’ve been looking at Enbridge debt for the past 10 years. It is up quite significantly. With the rise of interest rates, their interest payments are increasing every quarter. They will now be adding more to their debt with the recent acquisition. Is this the next AQN? Is the dividend safe?

Q: I am looking for $US-denominated ETFs to hold within my RRSP/RRIF. I would be interested in both shorter and longer-term names. When I review the questions you have answered and the company's literature, it is not clear if the bonds pay US dollars or are simply US bonds bought in Canadian dollars.
I am assuming that any ETFs that fit my criteria would not result in US taxes being paid as long as they are held directly in my registered accounts. If this is not the case, please suggest ways to ensure no taxes are withheld at source.
Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hello,in regards to XOMs 60B all stock deal to purchase Pioneer with a market cap of roughly 440B its roughly 1/7 of their market cap,does this mean they issue that much new stock and if so for short to medium term shareholders it’s probably not ideal and basically could I have your thoughts on this acquisition Thanks and have a great day!
Q: With the recent conflict in Israel, the forecasted coming recession in North America, and continued high interest rates for the foreseeable future, would now be a good entry point to buy SU? If not, what range would be reasonable to buy it at?
Would you say that SU has good looking prospects for an increase in share price for an investment horizon of 3 to 5 years? I am looking for a decent dividend to be accompanied by stock appreciation. Or, if the price appreciates significantly sooner than that, I could exit at that point too. Thank you for your insights.

Q: Hi
What is so great about Nextera Energy. They have almost doubled their debt since 2018 from about 38 billion to 72 billion. They have been raising their dividend roughly 10% a year and not even coming close to earning it. Their FCF per share alone in 2022 was Negative .74 Cents, yet their paying out $1.69..
The 2 years prior was just as bad. The return on their assets in 2021 was only 1.44% and 2022 was 1.57%
