Investment Q&A

Q: What are some blue chip higher yielding stocks on the TSX that you recommend for a very long term hold?

Q: Hi!

Often a big dividend means danger. Why is this not the case with ENB which is sporting a %7.3 yield right now?

Also...again...I seem to have missed some great price moves. Any others stocks that feel "due" for an upward move?

Cheers,
David

Q: Hi, We have held a full position in ENB for many years and added a 1.5% position in TRP about a year ago, at $60-61, in a Non-Regd account, for Income/Growth.The investment, however, has been a huge disappointment. The endless cost issues with Coastal Link pipeline project and no clear timeline is now widely known. Are you aware of any catalysts in the near future ?

Over numerous comments, you have clearly indicated your preference for ENB and there being no particular need to own both companies. Based on the current scenario, would you support moving out of TRP ? Now or wait for the quarterly results ?

And, if we decide to sell the whole position ( and at least book the capital loss), what would be a reasonable price level you would use?

Thank You

Q: Dear amazing 5i employee,

I trust that you are well!

An analyst at 5i noted (in answer to one of questions) that there are dozens of trading opportunities available in the market right now. Would you be able to list some of those opportunities? By trading opportunities I mean simple trades (buy low, sell high).



Yours kindly,
David

Q: As a TRP dividend investor of 77 years old are the problems with the XL pipeline already baked? As I am a value investor for the most part would you suggest a switch to PPL or other suggestion? I have a 5 - 8 year time frame. I also hold ENB, SU, XOM and CVX as well as NXF as the energy part of my portfolio.

Q: Hi 5i Team, I'm a retired dividend investor supported by portfolio dividends.

Currently, I'm holding positions in ENB and TRP for my pipeline weighting. I'm concerned about the lagging performance of TRP. What are your thoughts on trading TRP for PPL? Alternatively could also consider GEI or KEY.

Can you please list your favorite pipeline selections in order of growth and safety?

I like to hold 2 sector companies for diversification. Also, as TRP has been flat there are no cap gains. Please advise.

Thank you.

Q: How material is the ruling today om line 5 relocation by 2026?

Q: Dividends of these companies are interesting for a retiree. I have money to put in two of them. Favoring Enbridge. In between the two other two, PPL with is involvement with the LNG in Kitimat I would be inclined. TRP I'm certain would be fine except for their problem with Line 5. What's your take on this.

Q: Hi guys,

I am looking for your top 3 picks on Canadian markets for dividend income and growth with the emphasis being on dividend income.

Which 3 would they be and why?

Thanks

Q: Hi ,

It is becoming increasingly hard to ‘keep the faith’ with respect to dividend growth stocks given their overall returns over the last year or so.

In particular, Enbridge has been a huge disappointment in terms of overall return, along with VDY and XEI due to poor performance of bank and energy stocks.

I am looking at replacing ENB as its outlook from a technical perspective is poor https://canada.swingtradebot.com/equities/ENB:TSX

Any suggestions ? this would be for a buy and hold cash account.

Best Regards,
Paul

Q: If the appeal process results in the current judge's order being upheld and Enbridge being forced to "move Line 5" (which sounds to the uninformed to be potentially rather costly) what is the possible effect on the equity - in other words, what are shareholders looking at as a possible downside, what is the risk of this worst case scenario, and what does the 5i crystal ball say will likely happen. Does this alter your positive outlook on this stock as a solid income hold with some likely capital improvement over time - is it still a buy. Thanks for your opinion on this news.

Q: Hello Peter & Team:
How do u compare the income and growth for the above mentioned Co, as we come across the FSZ 8.25% ,3 yr. term offer recently. Fsz.to offers 13% dividend, and the others name above were over7%. How would u rank them from the most prefer to least prefer if i have to placed $50k - 100k into it with a 3- 5 yrs. time horizon. Thank you,

Q: Hello, we have a full position in CNQ (5%) and SU & TOU (3% combined). We also own ENB (6%). We are considering to reduce our weighting in Energy sector. We like CNQ and ENB, for their respective merits, at the two ends of the spectrum being Growth and Income and relatively stable history of stock performance. If you have to choose to sell/trim between SU and TOU, what would be your approach - Equally trim from Both or Sell one of them in full ? Based on current and likely scenario of Oil and Natural Gas prices and their balance sheet and growth/income prospects.

Thank You

Q: For income purposes, if you had to pick one, which do you prefer?

Q: Is it a good time to start buying Enbridge or will the sell off continue a bit more?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I am looking to create a dividend portfolio of 15 positions yielding around 6%. My plan is to weigh these positions equally in a non-registered account. A good number of these equities are in your income portfolio but I just wanted to get your opinion if you would swap any of these out or add anything else?

Telus
Enbridge
CNQ
TRP
MFC
BCE
TD
SLF
A&W
BEP.UN
BNS
Acadian Timber
Fiera Capital
CPD
CVD

Thanks in advance for your help!

Q: I have owned ENB for 6 years / it continues to disappoint. Russ Healy was on BNN saying net overall asset value continues to drop in the last 5 year's and i agree with him as my performance is negative (down 6% in the last 5 years, (this is excluding the dividend . Kindly explain how you continue to recommend this stock as it clearly is a loser in value the dividend is its only advantage... would TRP not be a better risk return or even Fortis / one of the pipes for that matter Thanks for your help with this . Lastly what is your top 3 picks in the health care sector
