Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think of this new issue?

Q: Good morning Peter:
Being a senior over 65 , I treat my TFSA as an extension of my RRSP.
With the market being so high and preservation of capital being important, can you give me three (3 ) dividend stocks that I can add to my TFSA for a secure retirement.
Can you also add your reason for choosing these ( 3 ) dividend stocks.
I presently have only banks in my TFSA and I have done well.
Thank You

Q: Looking for a security for long term stable income in my TFSA. Which you recommend between ZRE and BEP.UN?

Q: Ignoring sector considerations, which of the following would you look to take a position in today in a RESP with a 6 year time frame and an objective of achieving the greatest total return: BEP.UN, CSH.UN, BCI, ECI, DOL?

Q: Hello Peter
As a recent new member, I am both impressed and a little overwhelmed with all the information. I started making a lists of potential companies to invest with, but decided to cut to the chase and just ask you....I am looking for your recommendation for both income and growth companies.... perhaps 4 or 5 of each. I am fully invested in TD, which has done well for me this last year, as well as a couple energy stocks.... Spartan and Ring. I am retired but have a steady income flow with pensions and dividends from an ongoing business. Thank you for offering such a great service and look forward to a bright and lucrative future. Brian

Q: Disregarding all other factors, which of these two companies would u consider safer in a bear or declining market, thanks?

Q: Hi 5i: I want to include a power utility in my portfolio. I already include the pipelines and am considering the attached list. Which of these would you recommend for a longish hold, with a focus on growth, income and of course stability. Are there other interesting names you can suggest? Many thanks.

Q: Howdy 5i,

With BEP's earnings announced Wednesday morning with a slight near-term miss but positive outlook for 2018+ and potential deal flow in India down the road, can you shed any light on what is driving today's (thursday) selling pressure. Price action is -3% on what seems to be no news. Arf! Arf! Arf! Is this year-end portfolio manager action? Volume a little higher than normal. Maybe I'm just scared of the wind...

Thank you for your time and insights.

Q: Please comment on earnings. Thank you.

Q: I have a lot of cash in both of my RRSP's My overall portfolio is VERY diversified and I am only looking for ideas that make sense to put in my RRSP for tax reasons.

What 6 companies would you reccommend as making sense to put into an RRSP at this point in time.

I will be RRIFing in a couple of years, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: My wife and I are retired and are income investors. We are considering reducing our 35% bank exposure. These investments have done very well over the years and we do not want to reduce the quality of our portfolio, but think that perhaps a little more diversification would be desirable.

We are looking for one or two non-large-cap Canadian companies with a growing dividend/distribution preferably greater than 3.5% for a very long-term if not forever hold. We want to avoid more financials, utilities, and retail, office, industrial, and apartment REITs.

Some possible purchases we have identified are: KPT, ITP, CSH, ZCL, AGU, BIP, HLF, BEP, UFS, BPF, AND NWC.

What do you think of reducing our exposure to banks and buying some non-large-cap companies?

What do you think of our list of possibilities? Do you have any other suggestions? If you have two or three good candidate suggestions that would be great.

As always, thanks!

Q: Which Brookfield stock has the best prospects for a growing dividend over the next decade? For my long term portfolio, I currently own BAM.A. I am trying to decide whether to buy more BAM.A, or to buy some of the other Brookfields, such as BEP.UN, which you have in the 5i Income Portfolio.

Q: Brookfield Renewable is close to where it has previously double topped ....do you feel the share price this is getting dangerous now . I have a decent profit and could sell here or because. I don't have a full position and I could stay in and watch it continue to grow, or even add to my exposure here... I really am unsure what to do at this point. Thanks

Q: I am in my late 30's, and I have a long-term time horizon. However, I find myself gravitating towards stocks with stable businesses that pay dividends. I currently own BEP.un, NWH.un, CSH.un, and SLF.
For a long-term, yet somewhat conservative investor, what are some companies that I should consider adding to my portfolio? Thanks in advance!

Q: Hello 5i team, My wife and I, retirees, hold a fairly conservative portfolio, including the listed stocks above in our TFSA's. Our overall asset mix is 5/45/50 cash/fixed income/equities. If (in view of the buoyant markets) we chose to increase our cash position, which 1 or 2 of the listed stocks would you suggest we sell? Thank you.
