Q: hi,
I just used free google "AI" thing, asking it about Canadian mid/large cap stocks performance post a significant (25%or more) dividend cut, from one day post to one year post. Google says average decrease up to 8-15% in the first 3 months, but overall in the positive 5-8 % by one years time. with this in mind, do you feel Telus is a good stock to pick up ( around10-15%) below the immediately pre-dividend cut price? ie does Telus become a better investment overall after a dividend cut? or is the ship still sinking?
cheers, Chris

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Are there any company-specific issues to account for yesterday's 4.28% decline in the share price of QBR.B, and the larger 6.87% decline for Telus?

A 5i member recently expressed his frustration with Telus, a view that I share.

I own both of these stocks, and have been pleased with the performance of QBR.B. With Telus, not so much!

To maintain the same weighting in the sector, I plan to sell Telus, and use the proceeds to buy more QBR.B. Your thoughts?

Thanks as always for the guidance.

Q: Hello,

Losing patience with Telus. Div nice but down 37% in the 4yrs owned. Position sits at 1%.
Cut bait and re-deploy looks very attractive. Willing to skip Canadian telecoms for now in favour of better growth and stability going forward.

Thoughts? Hate taking a loss in a non-taxable account but Telus has been very disappointing and doesn’t look like anything is changing.

Q: I'd be interested to hear your opinion on this comment:

Analyst Vince Valentini is no longer recommending buying shares of the Montreal-based communications services company. He cites concerns about the price war in the Canadian wireless sector, which has also led him to discontinue his recommendations for shares of competitors Rogers and Telus. The expected weak growth in the wireless market and the intensity of competition have prompted the TD expert to lower his expectations for the industry's major players. He noted "very aggressive" offers to attract customers, particularly at the end of March, and observes a race to the bottom with no winners. "This pricing doesn't stimulate better subscriber growth across the sector; on the contrary, it leads to an increase in churn."
Thank you

Q: I hold the above dividend stocks and looking at adding one more with some cash I have, (GSY was my other holding). I would like at least a 5+% dividend. Can you give me a few options of your favourite holdings you would suggest? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5I. I would like to consolidate this mixed bag into one or two holdings. Would you please rank them in order of "sell" to "keep".

Q: Our current Federal government seems to think oil pipelines are the answer to preserving Canadian independence, however as Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute points out, Canada has no internet pipes that don't run through the U.S., its satellites, or cables. Which of course means we have no access to the internet without U.S. permission. What Canadian companies would benefit if the government decided to invest in a Canadian owned and operated internet?
