Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, can you please comment on today's increase in trading volume. Also, how does this company compare to others in the industry pertaining to affo. With the upcoming capex and very few "buys" on the stock, do you feel this company has a higher probability of surprising to the upside? With payout ratio at around 60%, do you think they will raise the dividend anytime soon? Thanks! :)

Q: I hold smaller positions of the above collection of what I would consider to be "second tier" income stocks in an unregistered account. I also have BIP.UN, CSH.UN and HR.UN in a TFSA. I want to raise a bit of cash before the snow melts; which two or three of these would you sell first?

Thanks for the wonderful service - I've just renewed again!

Q: Hi, have been thinking of selling Csh bought at 11.60,because of poor showing,and has been lowered from buy to hold.I also have Sia,Gud,Crh for a 8% sector weight.
Would you be fine with selling or keep holding,I do need the dividend.
Also if I sell could you give me 2 or 3 dividend replacements,don't worry about sector.
Thanks for your advice

Q: I manage my husband's and my TFSA's as if they are one account so we do not duplicate the stocks in the 2 accounts and can have a reasonable size of position. We have a similar weighting of ALA, REI.UN, SIA, WSP, ZEB, BEP.UN, CGX, and HR.UN and PKI, and a double weighting of CPD and CDZ. We currently have about $110K in the two accounts and $20K of that is in cash. Can you suggest what we might add to or change in the above list, considering that we prefer income paying securities with some growth prospects and want the TFSA's to act independently of our other investments as a relatively conservative growth vehicle.

Q: I'm 78 and interested in income with security of capital and I'm wondering about changing the percentage allocation of various sectors. For example, rather than hold 5% in each of healthcare, materials and energy, I'm considering holding 15% in healthcare. NWH.un, SIA, DR and SIS are broadly diversified within the sector, provide an excellent average income and have been generally approved by 5i. What do you think, and feel free to make suggestions.

Thanks for all the steady, interesting and profitable suggestions daily.

Q: Good afternoon, Peter & Co.
Considering your recent comments and analysis would you recommend that I sell my SIA and buy EXE? Also, I have had a decent run with CNE and it may now be overvalued. I am slightly underweight in the energy sector. Would you recommend selling CNE and moving to different energy company? I own High Arctic and Brookfield Renewable as well as small positions in Tourmaline and Crius. Dividends are not very important to me. I am underweight in the energy sector.
With appreciation.

Q: Can you compare the key metrics for these seniors REITS and indicate your order of selection. CSH seems most favoured by analysts but has lowest distribution, why? Do you consider these a buy right now?
