Q: Hello 5i,
I sold NFI, PSI and CCL.A as tax losses on October 25. Should I buy them back now, just add to the positions I now have or are there other equity opportunities to consider in replacement. I am a retire, value, dividend investor, 60/40, evenly distributed with many from the INCOME MODEL PORTFOLIO.

Q: Good day team, I'm looking for a good dividend paying etf that I can contribute to weekly in a tfsa. Ideally I'm seeking a canadian focused eft so I dont have to pay withholding taxes.
Additionally (deduct credits as you see fit), how do you feel about NFI at this moment? I'm thinking about taking a position.
Cheers

Q: Wondering about where to contribute and add to next . I have a TFSA and RSP self directed ( no unreg'd trading accounts )

Started investing in the TFSA 1st so my RSP is far behind it in $ levels . Now that I have contribution room , plus more on Jan 1 should i go with ..

Topping up EMA in my RSP , would be heaviest weighting if so with TD on top right now .
Topping up RY , NFI , MFC or NPI ( all being medium weight with TD and AQN on top )
Or adding BEP or SRU as new holding to either TFSA or RSP , leaning towards BEP myself .

Thanks

Q: Hello,

I've recently acquired a half position (2.5% of my portfolio) in NFI Group. The company has announced several, large new orders since the beginning of August, is trading at a quite reasonable 12 times P/E ratio and is paying a very healthy dividend of approximately 6%. I have several questions however that I'm hoping 5i might be able to assist me with.

When NFI "sells" a bus do you know if they actually get paid whatever price has been agreed upon and are then free and clear of that transaction OR do they actually, typically either lease the vehicle to it's new "owner" or finance the sale price themselves in any way?

Are you able to please provide me with NFI's current dividend payout ratio, as well as with any information about what their dividend payout ratio may have been, on average, over the past 5 - 10 years? Have they ever cut or eliminated their dividend?

Do you believe that their recent acquisition of Alexander Denis Ltd. (ADL) might be exposed to any risks from Brexit?

Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i,

I currently hold these stocks in an unregistered account. I have journaled over the five companies into a US account for the dividend. I would like to add possibly two more companies that pay their dividend in US funds. I have the rest of the balanced fund and some growth in my TFSA. Any suggestions to add here, and if it results in duplication, what would you remove from the list. I am well balanced and would likely have to sell at least one current stock and could just add the other if you can give me two. Was looking at Nutrien or AQN. Didn’t pull the trigger on AQN last year at 12.5.

Thanks for the assist.
