I bought the 5 income ETFs from the 5i model income portfolio and have enough cash to buy 2 more stocks. Of the following I don't yet own, which would you consider to provide the best chances of reliable long term income?
BCE
DH
ETL
SPB
SGY
VNR
WSP
Please note I also already own all the other income stocks in the portfolio as well as Stantec and Telus if that affects your response. Otherwise I have a well-balanced portfolio.
Q: Hello, we are long term investors wanting safety and dividends. We currently hold XIU and BCE shares. We are considering selling XIU and buying more BCE. What is your opinion of this move?
Q: I am wondering why BCE.PR.A & BCE.PR.C preferred shares are experiencing such a price decline. According to BCE's web site,
their annual dividend is 3.45% & 3.55%, guaranteed to Sept 2017 & March 2018 respectively. On those dates the shares then may be converted to floating rate preferred shares. Do you have any explanation as to why the share prices have been in a steep decline since April of this year. Thanks ... Cal
Q: Enjoyed your guest appearance on BNN last night. Researched your web page after the show and you already saved me money with your "Selling Too Early Might Be A Mistake" article.
Question: Been watching BCE for a buy, I am getting to the point in my portfolio where I should be taking less risk, but not sold on GIC's etc. Should I be considering preferred shares over common shares?
Thanks
Roy
Q: Peter, I am concerned with B.C.E. on the assumption that Verizon is coming to Canada. I bought BCE for security of dividend and long term growth. Your opinion please. I have seen so many different opinions I am truly mixed up. Thank you for making investing a bit easier for us small investors, Ken
Q: BCE...Is the recent drop in price, which seems attributable to the Verizon rumours, a buying opportunity, or will Verizon greatly affect BCE's future earnings ?
Q: I have 8.3% of my portfolio in shares of T and BCE, which have dropped incredibly with the Verizon scare. T is now -17%. BCE has dropped like a stone also, but is an old holding and still +12%. Is it time to buy, hold or sell on T and BCE. And is MBT,which has climbed recently, worth looking at?
Q: Hi Peter, "T" and "BCE" are getting hit again is there a particular reason for this and can this be an opportunity to add to existing positions as I hold both of these or can they fall further. Thanks, Nick
2 of my core holdings, BCE and Emereging Markets (PIE-N), have just been getting crushed recently, for very different reasons. Are these sell offs overdone, or is there more pain to come? I consider myself a long term investor, but how much longer can I let these stocks be an anchor to my portfolio?
Q: Hi, is the Telcom sector now attractive after the sell-off of the past few weeks? Is the sector simply being grouped with dividend payers or is there something else at work as well? thanks.
Q: Hi Peter and Team, I recently added to my position in TELUS and BCE, during last week's price weakness. Besides the spectrum debate after industry minister's comments, do you see more downside in these stocks due to ongoing fear of sharp rise in bond yields? I noticed a comment somewhere that AMLP and Utilities/Telcos ETF on US exchange stopped its recent decline, during Friday's rally in US markets. Your comments are most appreciated. Thanks
Q: Hi Peter, I hold BCE in several accounts, and it has done very well. However it is becoming a disproportionately large holding in these accounts, so I wish to sell some in exchange for Telus. Should I wait until Telus has a bit of a pullback, or do the telcos tend to move up and down together and thus it does not really matter. Thank you.
Q: BCE
Hello. As a shareholder of BCE, I would like to know your thoughts on how the abcense of NHL play may affect the stock price and the behavior of institutional share holders(the larger holders of the stock). Thanks for all you offer.
Q: Would you have an update on BCE. Wondering if i should take my gains now as i see the value appears to be on par with the price and the stock price seems to be stagnant at the moment. Any expectation for a rise in price in the near term?
