Q: Enbridge has been a long time favorite of yours but I find myself questioning the merits of holding this company. Three and five year charts are dismal and, I think, totally out of character with the type of stocks that you prefer. Every bit of perceived negative news causes a downward move in the share price. I have to assume that the current dividend is what supports the price but if interest rates start to rise this stock has all the look of a stock that will fall further. So I would really like your rationale for holding it your portfolio. Is there not another pipeline that has better growth characteristics?

Q: Hi, i have one TFSA account that represents 3.7% of my total investments. i want to change the objectif of this account for revenue. No issue on risk and a time horizon of 5 to 10 years. What would be the TOP 5 dividend paying stocks that could potentially pay approximately 5% yield with low or reasonable debt levels and growing dividends.
Thank you

Q: Hi,

I'm looking for another lo volatility, long term dividend payer with some growth like AQN, which I own. I also own TD and RY. Can you pick two choices for me from the above list? (as there are so many different offerings from BEP and BIP, I hope these are the correct ones? If not please suggest the better choice.)

Q: 3 part question
1. Are the dividends paid by AW.UN and BEP.UN eligible for the Canadian dividend tax credit ?
2. How safe would you consider the above 7 dividends stocks given the large payout ratios?
3. Do you favor calculating payout ratios using free cash flow?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I hold the above stocks in my portfolio. Thinking of adding QSR. Your thoughts. Or should I keep my cash for better opportunities during tax loss period ? BEW and PNG are my play money. Playing PNG with house money.

Q: I am aiming for a 20-stock (or slightly less) portfolio of dividend payers. So each position will be 5% or slightly more.

In the pipeline / utility sectors I currently have ENB, TRP and BEP.UN. I am hoping to add one of the stocks below. I have a preference for good dividend growth and good management, but would prefer not to have too much overlap with BEP.UN if possible. Mind you, I suppose BEP.UN is quite diversified geographically which might make a case for being different anyway (your opinion ?). Which one would be the best fit, or is BEP.UN enough ?......

Canadian Utilities (CU)
Fortis (FTS)
Emera (EMA)
Algonquin Power (AQN)

Thanks.
Jim

Q: Based on current evaluations, would you swap FTS for ENB? Currently, also own BEP. I have owned FTS for a few years and have no concerns but wondering if ENB might provide a bit more upside (and larger dividend) at this point with a minimal change in risk. Owned in RRSP so no tax issues and doing this for a long term hold.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i,
Hold the above companies in my TFSA ($30,000). % holdings around 10% for each, except CAE, OSS TRI, AD which are 3% - 5%.

Looking to deploy $5,000. Looking at d-un, dir-un, Telus & Fortis.

Safety and Income preferred, as in mid 60's. I would certainly welcome any other suggestions.

Thank You.

Q: Hello 5i,
I need to increase the following: ABBVIE, CCL, AQN. ENB. LSPD. and TCL. Some like LSPD I hold as a satellite as I am mostly a value investor but will take advantage of your suggestions on a good growth opportunity but smaller scale than my value equities. Please list the above in the order that I would slowly increase these holdings by $2,000 at a time.
thank you

Q: I currently own both of the above securities in my RRSP account in equal weights. I want to sell one of them. I am leaning towards selling ENB because it will reduce 1 company risk, but on the other hand there probably would be more upside to ENB. The funds will be used to buy a growthier name in TECH. Which would you sell?
Still have 6 years before needing any funds from the RRSP

Q: I have 5-8% (20%total) positions on these utility type stocks; if we enter a melt-up type scenario in the markets? Would it be prudent to reduce my utility type exposure by selling 1/2 positions and invest in growth type names like Vtv, vfv, etc.? Or would it be in my best interest to hold steady and ride the curve and collect dividends, I'm approaching 70 years of age? Thank you!
