Investment Q&A

Q: Can you rank the top 5 canadian utilities for a long-term hold for income.

TY

Q: Acknowledging that 5i may not agree with my opinion here, if one were to believe that Solar-Wind Battery Storage systems will eventually be cheaper than Gas / Coal / Nuclear, etc. power, would BEP.UN be the best investment choice?

With regards to the above, are there any other Canadian options - even an ETF - for holding within a non-registered account. I'd want to avoid that T1135 form !

Q: If I were to pick only two themes for long term investment, they would likely be urban water supply and the electrification of North America. (Would appreciate your thoughts on those choices...).

Regarding electrification, I'm well positioned in energy providers, including green & conventional energy producers. I have a half position in HPS.a and a small amount of GRID. I am struggling to decide if I should move upstream into a copper producer (BHP?) or if I should stick with small caps like HPS.A to get more torque.

I'm retired and no longer young; my finances are solid. Most of my investments are with a professional manager. I keep about 20% for fun, but even the fun money is mostly in fairly blue chip stuff. It is in this small chunk that I shall play around, and I am okay with adding a bit of risk.

So the question is: raw material producer or end user stocks? Where would you head? Specific suggestions most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Q: If you owned BEP and BN, do you think it's worth selling BEP to buy BN as a replacement? I understand is that BEP pays BN a lot in fees, and that would be the smarter play in the longer run. What would you think of that? What are people saying about the cagr growth over the next few years? For example, if BEP is expected to grow up to 12%, but BN is expected to grow at 18%, BN would probably be the better choice. Is that logical thinking at all? Thank you!

Q: What are you highest conviction Canadian dividend stocks at this moment with interest rates falling, if one is looking for a combination of dividend yield and total return.

Q: NPI continues to be in the doldrums despite recent earnings being quite decent. Do you feel optimistic about an eventual price recovery?

Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on slate grocery? I'm looking for a dividend stock and this crossed my path.
If not this one, what would you recommend?
Thank you very much

Q: Like my dividend from White cap at just over 7%, but with the drop in BEP.Would you consider a swap to give me more growth a prudent move.I am up moderately on white cap or would you see more growth ahead for white cap? Tks.Larry

Q: Can you remind me which is preferred to buy in a RRSP versus non-registered account?

Q: hi 5i,
NTR,T,MG? I own these blue chip laggards. can you recommend them as BUY,HOLD, or SELL please. If any are a sell, could you suggest a few replacement names (CDN) with similar dividend yield and more (hopefully) share price growth potential? I am fine holding all for long term if you think the weakness is just cyclical.
cheers, Chris

Q: What are the 5-7 best quality CDN dividend stocks would you recommend to achieve an above 5% dividend with this latest market correction.

Q: This stock is down on a green day. Is it time to sell and replace it with somerging else(CNQ or SU)?
Thank you

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please?

Thx

Q: What are your thoughts on owning this etf which would provide exposure to a number of renewables versus owning one, say BEP.UN.

Thank you

David

Q: Hello 5i

Open a position now or wait until after the financial results are released on August 2?

Thank

Q: Could you tell us what 5I's opinion is of the top two Canadian dividend growing companies in the last 10 years in the following sectors are:

- Consumer Staples, Information Technologies, Utilities, Energy, Real Estate and Financials

My 5I subscription is paying invaluable knowledge,

Jim

Q: This sentence comes from an Goldman Sachs article. What are some examples of the “Utilities” companies referred to here? ….he sees more room for the AI theme to run and expects AI beneficiaries to broaden out beyond just Nvidia, and particularly to what looks set to be the next big winner: Utilities.

Q: Electrification seems to be a big theme going forward. Can you suggest some companies, large and small cap, and any utilities that stand to benefit the most from this . I would assume Hammond would be a beneficiary.

Q: My wife and I hold a blend of mainly dividend paying blue chip Canadian stocks (examples shown) in a diversified equity/fixed income portfolio. PE ratios on some of our dividend payers seem enticing to add to. As retirees with a reasonably conservative approach, what sectors does 5i feel have the best opportunity for P/E margin expansion over the next several years, assuming no 'abnormal' (whatever that is) market volatility and some moderation of interest rates? Consistent with the margin expansion theme, would 5i suggest we add to our existing dividend payers, or to more growth-oriented names like BN group?

Q: I presently have these underwater stocks in a RESP. BCE, BEP.UN, ENB, FTS, LMN, XIC, ZEB, ZRE. The RESP will not be need for the next 10 years. I would like to sell some of these underwater stocks. Which stocks would you recommend keeping & which stocks would you recommend selling. Thanks … Cal
