Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I need to add some weight to my industrial sector, and as an income investor, I'm wondering about TCL.A? I've read the commentary, and although it seems to have had some troubles prior to Covid, just wondering if you would consider it a buy on a dip or if you have other options you like better and would suggest. For a long term hold. Thanks again!

Q: Taking into account AD as an income trust, I presume distribution would be taxed as income and would be best in RRSP whereas TCL dividend would receive dividend tax credit and best in nonregistered accounts. To me that seems at highest marginal rate that these would provide similar incomes in above situations. Is this correct?
Secondly, do you recommend one above the other?
Income, safety of dividend and capital are the most important considerations. I prefer a long term hold and can tolerate a moderate amount of volatility.
Thank you for this great service.

Q: Hello 5i,
I sold PLC at a gain to buy AW due to the higher dividend and good pricing. I sold ET and bought TCL.A also at a good price now.

With the excess cash from the sale of ET should I wait to see what you suggest next or buy CU which s not in your portfolios but has a good dividend, is at a good price and is suggested by you in many instances or buy GOEASY also at a good price, growing, and a reasonable dividend? I am 73 looking for dividend and some growth with a ten year outlook. I do not need the funds as a defined pension plus dividends. If you have better suggestions I would appreciate them.

Q: These are my biggest losers across my accounts. What are their prospects? Are any worth keeping, or is just time to move on? I don’t mind some risk, but don’t want to hold the hopeless ones any longer.

Q: With a 5-10 year time horizon, can you recommend any dividend stocks which have stable dividends and high yields due to current market conditions? I think that RioCan and Enbridge both fall into this category and would be interested in similar stocks that have a yield in the 8-10% range.

Q: Hi Folks,
I want to shake up my small cap holdings. I would like to add some of your favorites such as WELL, STC and PHO. I currently have losses in AKU, CHR, EIF and TCL.A......should I continue to hold these or sell to free up some cash for better opportunities. It's a registered account so no tax implications.
Thanks for your help,
Dennis

Q: I hold OGI (-67%), SPB (-18%), TCL.A (-20%), and RCI.B (-10%) all at the losses indicated. Which would you buy more of, hold, or sell? Would you switch RCI.B for more BCE or T, both of which I already hold? I'm looking for capital gains with a dividend, when possible. Thanks for your insight.

Q: I held this company a fair while before the big acquisition. I sold for tax loss in Dec. and then bought back in Jan. for $16/sh; then, CV-19. They are still a major printer; so, I am thinking that they are not doing as much with all the closures. Do you think this is baked into the stock? How much debt. have they been paying off and do you think the dividend is sustainable? I am thinking of adding to my position - a tiny % of my total holdings of approx. 30 stocks.

Q: Hello 5i,
Thank you for providing a clear and modulated message through the past 2 months.
For a 5-10 year hold could you rank the top 10 highest (TSX) yielding stocks with the safest dividends. ( strongest balance sheet, lowest payout ratio, historical dividend growth, etc).
Could you also rank them separately in terms of bounceback / growth potential over the next 2 to 3 years?
There may be redundancy in this question vs others asked and the 5i portfolios - so please take as many credits as necessary.
Thank you
