Q: AW.UN
AQN
POW
ENB

I am looking for your recommendations on good dividend paying stocks. Stocks which have come under pressure due to market conditions. Stocks that are low risk and do not have high debt. I am mostly interest in income stocks but would also like a stock that would give me some capital gains. I have listed these and would appreciate rating these. Please also provide me with any other tickers you feel would fit my needs here which I may not have thought about.

Thank you.

Q: what is your favorite pipeline today? cash account

thanks help

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please?

Thx

Q: Based on your reply to Paul on May 9th...."We think buying over a year will end up looking pretty good in two or three years". Of the following Companies that make up my portfolio what would be your TOP 3 conviction names to ADD to over the next year based on long term growth potential, good valuation, well run, good management, no brainer this will be a good investment type choice. There is opportunity here so don't want to miss the boat. Yes everything is down. Yes people are panicking. But it will go back up and simply want to focus my energy on the ones with more conviction. I don't need the money for the next 15-20 yrs but don't want to be a moron either and be happy with a bit of dividend here and there when I could see larger returns by making a good decision today. Thanks again.

Q: Do you have any rate reset prefs that you think are worthwhile here? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In a TFSA with PKI as the only "energy" holding, would you be OK with a switch to ENB? (Higher yield, lower beta, more conservative) The recent dropping of PKI from 5i's portfolio is another reason, and it's been quite a "dog" for me.

Thanks for your continued insight as we navigate this difficult market.

Q: Is it a good idea to have these three companies the foundation for my income stock portfolio? It will be a long term buy and hold.
Thank you

Q: Great 5i team, There are times like this; I will need to put my cash holding to work. I kept trimming energy names in our family portfolio to under 10% and staying on the sidelines for the last few months. Your thoughts are very much appreciated with these 2 questions: which one that you would pick 3 out of these 7 energy names and which sector that you will allocate the funds? I am light in industrial and health care. Thanks for your input.

Q: Hi Peter and Team;
Thanks for the info and advice on PKI.
I have made a good gain and sold a 5% position in my RRIF.
Could you offer 3 CDN and 3 US that you would be comfortable in starting today with a 2.5 % for long term investing in a well balanced RRIF? Would you lean towards US or CND for GROWTH?
Thanks for the excellent analysis!

Q: Hi team,

Grateful if you could develop your answer to Chris April 19 and provide your full list of buy-and-forget stocks both in Canada and USA in order of preference and with suggested entry price.

With appreciation,

Q: In my RRSP I am 7% over weight in the Energy sector and 1.17& under weight in Utilities.

Thinking of selling some of my ENB and split it between BIP.UN and FTS., to get my energy sector reduced and utilities increased.

Your comments are always welcome.

Thank you

Mike

Q: For a very long term hold which do you prefer and why? Thank you!

Q: I hate the idea of losing money in a TFSA for a number of reasons that are probably best dealt with in therapy. However, let’s say that we knew for a certainty that we were going to have a recession of unknown depth and duration starting in 2023. Come 2025 do you think you would have sooner held BCE, SLF, ENB, BAM.A, SMU.UN, and L (maybe 4% average yield with avg. PE in low 20’s) in a TFSA, or a 2 year GIC at 3%? Seems to me if a recession is deeper and longer than average I’m glad I had the GIC, if shallower and shorter, the equities?

Q: Does 5i believe we are in a commodities supercycle and does this bode well for stocks like ENB,

Q: All these stocks have done well do you see much more upside and will they stay up with the price of oil.

Q: Has Enbridge ever cut their dividend? Does Enbridge have a history of systematic dividend increases?

Q: I fully agree with your long term buy and hold of strong companies philosophy which is why I am so happy subscribing to this website.

Recently, I've been wondering how cyclical stocks like those above fit into that philosophy. I don't want to become a trader, but I am wondering if I should sell these at a relative high and invest in companies that are more likely to grow steadily over the long term. These ebb and flow companies seem more suited to a trader.

Given that investment strategy, would you sell companies like this at the good point in their price history?

Thanks as always.

Kevin

Q: Are the pipelines getting a valuation upgrade with the war and the US looking for more CDN oil and gas?
