Investment Q&A

Q: Does ENB's Div qualifies for the Div.Tax Credit .Buy in Cash a/c.,Rif or Tfsa? Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Would now be a good time to buy ENB. for a longer hold . We are a little concerned about the high payout ratio , do you think they may cut the dividend.

Q: What is your preference; trp vs enb and why?

Q: I have owned TRP and ENB for years (10+) and have done well with both stocks. They have now become less than 1/2 weight positions at around 4% of my total portfolio. I was thinking of adding to them but I've been asking myself if I really want to add to positions when it's becoming just as difficult to repair pipelines as it is to build them. The dividends are nice but they haven't offset the decline in the respective stock prices so on a total return basis both companies are still negative for the year. I was thinking of switching out of TRP and ENB into VZ where I can get a similar dividend yield in a utility sector name but remove some of the industry noise associated with pipelines. Thoughts? Thanks

Q: if I want to received dividend in US , will it be advisable to buy co. like Enb. in U$., or other dual listing companies, like RY,TD. or will it be better to simply buy equivalent US listed Co. instead. Thank you as always.

Q: I have these 13 stocks at equal weighting of approximately 5 percent each in my RSP, along with 35 percent in fixed income. Stock value of approx 1,300,000. Fixed income is approx 650,000. Cash 50,000. In your valued opinion, is the above stock selection diversified enough?, or are there other sectors I should be in. I am 69 and going to retire in the next year.

Q: I have a LIF consisting of these four. ENB at 15%, AW.UN, CPD and SIS all at around 27%. I will need to trim one or more for my annual withdrawal. Would you have any thoughts on the best candidate for a trim? Thanks as always for your advice.

Q: Can you please provide us with your comments with respect to the shut down of Line 5 in Michigan?
A couple of brokers view this as "Negative" with respect to the ENB's valuation.
Thanks

Q: You consistently state that Enbridge is one of your favorites. Why? In light of the current anti-carbon sentiment of the general public and current sadsack government I am seriously considering selling. Sure the dividend is great, but in 5 years the stock price has declined from $60 to $40. What could possibly happen to have the price appreciate back up to the $60 level?

Q: In a question from Brendan posted June 22, you referred to various preferred shares you were comfortable with and mentioned ENB.PR.K; I tried searching that and did not get any result. Is that the correct letter?
thanks,

Q: Still a buy after the latest cuts/ voluntary retirements?

Q: Hi, folks

What would be 2-3 picks to help diversify this portfolio?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Aqn will be added to Tsx60 effective 6/22.Is it timely to start a new position?Or U prefer ENB? Txs for u usual great views & services

Q: I am curious why the above energy infracstructure supposibly defensive due to their yields have been weak this week.
They took a hit today despite falling yields in cnd and
u.s. bond yields and a slight rise in wti and natural gas prices.

Q: What is your best guess as to the likelihood of a dividend cut by any of the above listed companies? Thanks.

Q: I asked this question yesterday and I am re-sending as I have not received an answer. Thank You.
Enbridge Inc Pref Ser D
This prefered is currently yielding around 9%. It will reset in Feb 2023. Since interests rates are expected to remain low for the next year or two, is this a safer way to invest in a RIFF for the next 2 years? I expect to sell these shares in 2 years to meet the mandatory withdrawals. What risks should I be concerned about? Other then interest rates going down from here, what can possibly drive the share price further down ?

Q: Hello,

Your choice between KEY, PPL and ENB for some growth but mostly income within an RRSP. Do you still see KEY as a potential take over candidate.

Q: Portfolio approx $600000. 2 TFSA,2 RRIF, C$ non registered& U$ non registered account.
Percentages do not include $51000 fixed annual pension income.
ATE-2.95%: BEP.UN-4.15%: BYP.UN-6.14%:
BTO-0.37%: BYD-4.35%: CPX-7.34%: BRP-2%
DSG-9.88%: EIF-3.19%: ENB-8.83%: KXS-3.21%: LSPD-12.62%: PKI-5.55%: PPL-4,58%:
REAL—2.51%: TFII-4.05%: VFV-2.79%: VGG-6.01%: VIG-4.18%: VOO-2.45%: XBC-1.46%
ENB & PPL together make 12.88%. ENB has a nice 7% div. I’m thinking ENB doesn’t have that much growth in near term ( next year). By selling part of my position in ENB I would reduce risk in the energy/utility sector but lose the 7% div.
Your thoughts. If I do make this move any thoughts on where these funds might be deployed? Also your thoughts on this portfolio going forward for the next year or two. A lot of work managing my portfolio, trying to step back a bit.
Thank you for your great incites. Have been very happy with your ideas, thoughts and service over the pass 3 years.

Q: Hello,

My partner and I heard about 5i from a friend whose been using you for many years. You came with the highest recommendation.

I feel like I should be copying one of your portfolios, especially due to my lack of knowledge, but it is very important for me that my investments to follow my ethics.

I would like to know which companies on your balanced and growth portfolios would be highest on positive environmental, social and corporate governance, which are low and should be switched and for which companies. I'm happy to do research, but I'm struggling to navigate the important statistics and feeling incompetent in finding good resources. I have seen your ESG scores (https://www.5iresearch.ca/blog/ESG-tsx-companies) and would be keen to know where to find information on how they are created. I would also appreciate other resources that you think would assist in building a portfolio, or simply which companies you would put on it.

Thank-you,
