I am looking to update my RRSP - I currently hold PG, TD, BNS, MFC, ABBV, PFE, T, BCE, AQN, BIP.UN, ENB - I am thinking of swapping PG with Verizon ( or can you suggest another with a dividend ) to add some "torque".

Q: I need to raise only a small amount of money to allow a RRIF payment. I have listed a few stocks from which to pick and am seeking guidance on what you might think is the best at this particular time. This is without consideration to sector or balance and only about how to avoid selling one that's prospects are good and hanging on to those which are not quite as good.

Q: Hi 5i team,

My question is on the future of natural gas as a heating source in Ontario, for example. I will not try to make this overly political and just provide facts based on carbon tax rates from Enbridge's site: https://www.enbridgegas.com/Natural-Gas-and-the-Environment/Enbridge-A-Green-Future/Federal-Carbon-Pricing-Program

As of April 1st Ontarians will pay 7.83 cents / cubic metre in Carbon ta . With current Gas Supply Charge (GSC) at 10.356 / cubic metre this works out to a ct of 75.6% before hst. I a short 9 years this will increase to roughly 320% ((170 ÷ 40 * 7.83) ÷ 10.356) of the GSC.

So my question is: If people move off natural gas to heat their homes, what impact will this have on the pipelines. Do you see any other investment themes to replace natural gas? Basically get off the grid solutions, although they are really expensive today,

Thx

Q: Any rationale why these solid dividend growers are unloved right now? They are all well off their highs and 3 of the 4 pay very good divs. Is it 'risk on' causing these to be ignored? I am tempted to add to all of them with the expectation that at some point in the next 2-3 years we will hit a 'risk off' market and these will recovery nicely

Q: I have a held 4.7% position in Enbridge for 5yrs+, the average dividend yield over the period is 5.52% it will generate 5k in income for us this year. I would like to continue to hold all things being equal and the dividend not under serious risk. It would seem to me to keep the company strong they have to make a bigger push into renewable energy if this low carbon world is the future. Can you comment if you see Enbridge taking part this transition on the scale that's necessary and still keep the dividend reasonably secure.
