Investment Q&A

Q: In my RRIF , I am looking at selling one of these stocks to buy UMAX for its higher yield and diversified holdings. Forgetting portfolio composition , please provide the order in which you would sell first (1) and then to last (5).
Thanks. Derek.

Q: Could you expand on this please? "I like EIF and hold it in greater amounts in my non registered account where I intend to keep it but expect it will be dead money for at least 6 months while Northern Mat recovers."

Q: My only 2 TFSA holdings, held in equal amounts are WELL ( down) and EIF ( up ). I like EIF and hold it in greater amounts in my non registered account where I intend to keep it but expect it will be dead money for at least 6 months while Northern Mat recovers.
Am looking at selling EIF and along with my $7,000 contribution buying CALF , GLXY, and LMN in equal amounts, leaving WELL the largest holding at approximately 40% weighting ; the others at 20 % each. My TFSA is approximately 4 % of my total non registered and RRIF accounts and is not considered material so I wish to rebalance it towards stocks with more growth ( and risk ) potential.

I tend to go crazy with market timing : any advice on how to proceed on the sale and purchase of these? Any potential “ flashing red lights “ with this move ? Thanks. Derek

Manulife or exchange income fund
Thank you

Q: Hi, I've heard that over the long term, dividends make up the most significant portion of one's stock market gains. Is this true? When I look at my winners, (CSU for one), it's not, but in any case, could you list 3-5 of your current favorite dividend growers?
Thanks as always, Rod

Q: For the last 5 years LNF has done nothing. Yes it hs a dividend of 3.8%. But cheap as it is do you see it advancing much? EMA, EIF, and NWC pay higher dividends and have advanced quite a bit since bought. Would it be suggested that any of these three could replace LNF or should I hang on to LNF in the hopes that it may spring to life?

Q: I am considering adding to current positions in these companies. I know timing is impossible to predict but which of these companies would you be adding to now and which would you wait given that we are heading in to end of year selling<

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hi. I'm currently over weight in Consumer Defensives (BYD, PBH & PRWM) and under weight in Industrials (WSP, TFII, STN & SIS).
I'm thinking of selling PRMW and buying EIF. Based on future prospects do you think this trade makes sense. I intend to hold for a few years. Thanks!

Q: Down 15% on EIF in a cash account. Trying to decide if I should sell for a tax loss and rebuy in the new year...or if the stock will rally in the run up to Christmas. Your thoughts please on whether I should sell/rebuy and - if so - what you would use as a proxy. Thank you.

Q: Another tax loss question. Currently down 19% on EIF and 11% on NPI in a non-registered account. (Interesting to note analysts are giving both 'strong buy' recommendations.) First, EIF. Would you sell, sell and repurchase, or stand pat? And if your recommendation is to sell and repurchase, would you repurchase before year end or wait 'til the new year? With regard to NPI, would you sell and repurchase? Stand pat? Or replace it with something like H? (BIP and BEP already held). The goal with both stocks is income with some growth. Thank you.

Q: An analyst recently reported that new contracts for EIF in medivac and maritime surveillance are coming on board in 2025 and will bring a "huge" increase in income as well as profits? First, are these contracts set in stone? And second, do you think these contracts will in fact make a "huge" difference in EIFs growth and stock price? Finally, is it worth buying the stock now in anticipation of this growth?

Q: Can I get your thoughts on the quarterly results for GDI and EIF?
Thank you, Keith

Q: Please comment on latest Q and market reaction
Hold, sell, add ?

Q: Morgen can I get the most relevant short positions Danke

Q: Time for a RIFF withdrawal. Just under $27K. Don' t need the funds. I usually roll the proceeds into an unregistered account.
Question. Do I buy a dividend grower EIF or do I add a few dollars and add buy 10 more shares of CSU? What would Peter do? Thanks in advance. David

Q: Time for another dividend hike and another record quarter at earnings release Thursday after hours?

Q: Can you please provide a brief analysis of risk for this one, maybe especially with respect to their balance sheet and whether you know anything about any debt obligations that may incur higher rates at refinancing, valuation now vs historical P/E, potential headwinds etc.? I rode it up and right back down, just a little concerned about where the floor is, it is a bit of a smaller cap than I usually commit to for the full position I have. Thank you.

Q: Re: Your contacts at the recent Eif Analysts day- what did they have to say ?

Q: EIF: on a TTM period appears to have a lot of debt. and high pay out ratio with low ROE. I was thinking of buying it or BCE (I realize totally different companies). I bought EIF for myself in 2020 - so happy with results and may buy more? Comments please. She owns T in her non-registered account for very long time.
