Q: Happy Friday,

With the current dip and a further downside expected are there any income equities that you would classify as very attractive.

Looking for some new ideas. I have lots of banks, pipes, telcos, utilities, insurance cos, etc. but am not immune to buying more.

Anything in the US really strike you fancy?

Thanks very much and have a great weekend.

Q: Greetings:

These three companies have not fared well over the past 12 months and I wonder about company specific issues? If I I look at other companies in the same sectors AW.UN for instance it has done pretty well compared to Restaurant Brands over the same period, and CGI hasn’t performed nearly as poorly as Open Text as another example. Do you see any changes in fundamentals for these three that concern you going forward?

Thanks,

Q: In my RRIF account I hold NTR which has broke two of my sell/trim thresholds. It has grown by 100% and is now over 7% holding in this account, so I may trim back to a 5% holding. My short list to replace with a higher dividend income in mind are ACO.X, EIF, NWC, and PKI. Could I please get your ranking and if any should be removed from short list.

Q: I own EIF in my TFSA. It has proven to be a steady dividend paying stock, holding up quite well in this downturn. My other stocks are small cap, some up some down. However, history has shown that the recent decline in stock prices present an opportunity for oversized gains. I would not expect this with EIF, and am looking to BAM, GSY, and MG for a larger eventual bounce, with the NASDAQ 100 as another option. TFSA Is a small part of total portfolio. Your thoughts on this switch with a discussion on these 4 is appreciated. Derek

Q: hello 5i:
We're looking for a decent income stock and are considering EIF. We already own about a 1.5% position in AC. Are the companies businesses too similar in that they are both tied to the airline business or is there sufficient difference to own both? And what are your thoughts on the present valuation of EIF?
thanks

Q: I need to sell one stock from my income portfolio which is overweight financials. I am looking for steady reliable income. Growth is a bonus. Risk should be low. Between EIF, AD.UN and DIV, which one would you sell and why? Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,

What do you think about ET, BCE, EIF? I already own a position in EIF and BCE and was thinking to add more or start a position in ET. This would be an acquisition in my non-registeted account and for a 10-15 time frame. I am primarily a dividend investor, but do look for some growth potential.

Thank you for your diligence and the service you provide!
