Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: This is my margin portfolio, all position weightings are between 3%-5%.

The projected yield is 3.31% with a 3-5 year hold.

I realize 24 positions is a bit overkill but I can't seem to choose which to remove, which would you recommend?

What positions would you add to the portfolio?

Take as many credits as needed.

Thanks for the great service

Q: My question is regarding value metrics for CPX. I compared EV/Revenue for the above utilities and CPX is lowest at 4.66, followed by FTS at 5.96. FTS has the lowest P/B at 1.49; CPX is the next best at 2.00. As an income/value investor, is CPX a value diamond in the rough? I know it keeps missing estimates, but I would get a yield of about 5.5% while waiting for financial results to improve. Your comments very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Peter; It seems to me that there is a general selling of the renewable area, AQN,CPX,BLX etc, . Just profit taking after the huge run up or a back to the past oil switch to the energy sector? Thanks,
Rod

Q: Dear 5i team,
I’ve read all (I think) replies to questions referencing these companies, in the last year or so.
I’ve read views that seem so different to what my brokerage says (TD). For example, member Helen noted she was done with SU. I was happy to see you still think it’s best for its sector- TD lists a bunch of analysts who collectively think its a strong buy, as does a couple of reports they include in their screens.

Why are some stocks being rated strong buy but some folks want to sell them for tax losses, or won’t buy them at all?

I can’t see energy (and businesses that serve energy) not getting back on track mid term. Do you agree? Mid term in my mind is 3-5 years. I was thinking that if an investor bought say SU at $18, it moved to $36 in 3-5 years, that is doubling one’s investment. Is that not good enough, or is the underlying issue not doubling one’s money but that it’s high risk of big loss instead?
While I’m using SU as example, I thought these questions were relevant to all these co’s.

Would you think an investor was silly to buy some of all these today?
Please provide the ‘why’ for your opinion, thanks so much.

Please use credits as needed. Thank you ! :)

Q: With a 5-10 year time horizon, can you recommend any dividend stocks which have stable dividends and high yields due to current market conditions? I think that RioCan and Enbridge both fall into this category and would be interested in similar stocks that have a yield in the 8-10% range.
