Investment Q&A

Q: For income & some growth please rank the following in order of preference:
ALQ
BEP.un
ENB
KEY
PPL

Q: Can you compare the two for me? What is growth expectation for each and valuation on a comparative basis. The yields are very attractive while BEP has committed to increasing their yield through 2022. Also, can you note why BEP.UN is rated an "A" and would it still be rated an A as it hasn't had a report in a while? Thanks.

Q: I own a Brookfield Renewable preferred (Series 11) that pays $1.25 (5%) thru to April 30, 2022. If not called, it will convert to the greater of GOCs+382bps, or 5%. Given my view of interest rates, I am comfortable with the position, because even if it is not called, I will be left with what I expect to be a good quality credit with a relatively attractive yield.

My concern is that it seems to have got caught up with the recent volatility, and is trading well below $25. Currently it is $23. I want to add more, but I wonder if I am missing anything here. I would still expect it to be called in 2022, as I just would not expect management to allow it to float at what I expect would be an above market interest rate. But I am already underwater significantly more that I would have ever expected on this, and I am leery of adding to the position.

Thoughts?

Q: With the general pounding the markets took in October, the glass half full sees opportunity. My portfolio is particularly light in Materials, Telecom and Utilities, and I'm looking to top up in a registered account. What companies look attractive to you today based on undue overselling?

Q: Looking to add an income company to my portfolio. Which of the two indicated companies would you recommend considering where we are at in the economic cycle?
Thanks for your guidance.

Q: These are a list of my stocks that I may sell for tax losses. I would like to have your opinion if I should sell and rebuy these in 30 days.

Q: Hello 5i,
I dont own any of the Brookfield group currently, but would like to at a discounted price. How would you rank all the bips, beps, bamas, bpys, etc, Which would you buy at current prices, for best 2- 3 year holding period, including growth and dividends ?

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
I am in the dog house on listed stocks in my registered accounts (RRSP/TFSA/RESP). For TOY and TSGI , I will wait for your review in Q&A section. As part of cleaning up portfolio would you keep these or if not then replace with which stocks? Money requirement and risk is not an issue.

Value your opinion. Thanks

Q: I haven't kept up with news in Brookfield Renewable but see it has really declined. I had been looking for an entry point. Is this it? Yield seems great and it is very oversold. Was there a reason for the decline? Is now a good time to start a position? I Have a 5% weighting in AQN presently.

Q: In your answer to Dennis you indicated cash flow was 33 cents were 44 was expected. However normalized cash flow rose from 24 cents to 44. What is "normalized" and is that the 44 cents that was expected? Sounds like one of those "alternate truths" we hear about these days.
The sale of $1b in assets seems to have rattled stock holders however isn't that Brookfield's forte; sell fully valued assets and use the funds to buy the bargains they see in emerging markets and US public equity markets.
In summary I am wondering if I should buy shares at the current price to return the holding to 5%.
Your assistance is, as always , appreciated.
Mike

Q: Regarding each of the above,please advise if you consider each of these dividends is safe and also if the dividend tax credit applies. Thank you.

Q: The price for BEP has been dropping for the last 6 weeks and is now approaching its 52 week low. Are you aware of any news causing this decline or is it just due to rising interest rates?

Q: Good morning 5i Team.

I'm primarily an income investor and I'm building positions in these three names. My target is BEP.UN (5%) AQN (3%) and RNW (2%) for a total of 10%. Do you think 10% is too high for the group? Is it necessary to diversify into all three? If not, which would you pass on?

Thanks
Peter

Q: size difference aside, which would you see as a better holding for a 3 to 5 year holding and why. I currently have an equal$ amount of each. Thanx.

Q: Are stocks that have .un in their symbol (bep.un kwh.un) eligible for div tax credit thanks harris

Many thanks.
