In light of the most recent overtures by the Michigan State governor, could you please offer some insights ? Is this a manageable event ?
Thank you.

Q: Hello, I'm a 62 year old (almost retired) investor who's focus is now nearly 100% on equities with sustainable and preferably increasing dividends, over time. I currently hold about 7.5% of my investment portfolio in ENB and I am considering raising that stake to 10%. I'd like to know if, in the history of the company, has Enbridge EVER cut its dividend? If it ever did are you able to provide any context as to why the company may have felt it necessary to do so? Thank you!

Q: Should a person think about selling ENB today in light of the upcoming May 12th deadline for closure of line 5, or just sit tight and see what happens?

Q: thoughts on the quarter please?

Q: Hi 5i, any insight into the large volume, 4x avg, for Enbridge today? I know energy markets as a whole were up today.

Thx.

Q: Non-registered account with goal of primarily dividend income has done quite well, with all of the noted holdings nicely in positive territory. In hind sight MG and SYZ would have been in a registered account. SYZ is up 63%, MG 24%.
Overall account yield is currently 3.8%. Would prefer it closer to 5%
Need some help with this "good problem". Take capital gain now and move into yieldier positions, or let running stocks run and deal with bigger gain in future?
If I move out of some of the growthier stocks, which div payers minimum 3% yield to move into?
Overall portfolio diversification is pretty decent, and diversification within this account does not have to be perfect - dividend security within this account is more important.

Thanks,
Jim

Q: We currently own enbridge and are concerned about what effect it would have if they were to shutdown line 5. Would you continue to hold or perhaps sell before the may decision date?

Q: What do you think of this twenty stock dividend portfolio for a taxable account? I am focusing on high quality and it yields about 3.8% . Any changes you would make?

I do own little bit of etf zre. I have done with & like dividend monthly. I also own banks, utilities, pipelines, railroads plus few other REITS. I am looking for more dividends.

Q: My question is regarding Shopify being down today almost 5% with 6 days to earnings call. The following stocks are in my TFSA, and wondering if you’d consider trimming parts of this portfolio to add to SHOP in a potential great buying opportunity if it keeps dropping post earnings call?

Would you add to another “power house” like NVDA instead ?

Thanks for your insight!

Nick

Q: I am considering either ENB or TRP as an income investment. Could you provide the dividend payout for each, and the percentage of gas vs oil in their pipelines. There is a lot of news about the potential closing of Enbridge line 5 in Michigan, and the affect on Canadians. But, what is the affect on the company? What percentage of their business depends on line 5 , and what are their alternatives if it is closed? Is TRP facing any similar challenges (aside from Keystone XL)? Which company do you prefer looking strictly at dividend sustainability and potential dividend growth?
Thank-you

Q: Following up on my question from this morning, you suggested as "high dividend payers" a few companies that have comparatively low dividends to LIF or FSZ. They aere T (4.83%), AQN, (3.9%), NPIU (2.75%). I don't think these qualify as "high dividend payers". I acknowledge they may be better choices from a growth perspective, but I am looking specifically for companies with a high dividend (over 6% for sure), if any other than FSZ (on my radar!) and LIF (I own this) can be suggested. Growth is not important to me for this aspect of my portfolio. I am looking for companies you might suggest that have a dividend that you think is reasonably safe.
Thanks! Paul

Q: There are a lot of prices outside of Tech, that are higher today than 2 - 5 Yrs ago. The ratings on a lot of these individual stocks, can also vary from "strong buy" to "overvalued". Given what we are going through with Covid, this has me concerned.
I really just want the dividend's and the original investment back, in say 15 Years. How ill advised would I be, to drop down to the above and maybe a few more like them. I will not out live hydrocarbons.
Thanks

Q: Could you please provide your recommendation from a utility/energy investment standpoint. I have mentioned 3 possibilities here. Trying to gain insight around management effectiveness, leverage etc. For instance, FTS seems to have superior mgmt effectiveness from an ROE, and leverage standpoint, so is that considered superior or depends on investment objective as one is growth vs income oriented. In the end, looking for alternatives as I already own these, and Brookfield has performed very well so now over weighted. Thanks
