Q: Hello, I'm a 62 year old (almost retired) investor who's focus is now nearly 100% on equities with sustainable and preferably increasing dividends, over time. I currently hold about 7.5% of my investment portfolio in ENB and I am considering raising that stake to 10%. I'd like to know if, in the history of the company, has Enbridge EVER cut its dividend? If it ever did are you able to provide any context as to why the company may have felt it necessary to do so? Thank you!

Q: The Banks have done well this year.

1. Do you think they will be allowed to start raising dividends this year ?

2. What will this likely depend upon, the Canadian economy, Covid numbers ?? I am unsure how to interpret the economy right now, covid seems still bad, in fact worse than 2020, yet the TSX is up +++

thanks

Ernie

Q: The other day Brad was asking about the current trend of shifting to value and a concern with rising rates & inflation, and wondered whether it would good to lighten up on growth stocks. The 5I answer covered a number of points and suggested adding sector diversification or balancing out with some value stocks. and that “high grading” things a little might be prudent. Although I like the sector diversification they offer, if I wanted to do some “high grading”, would I want to move out of these 3 names? They have been increasing in value ( by the way, I came to consider them because of 5I, so thanks). Or do you see them as being sufficient "grade" to continue to hold? hank you for your excellent service.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

I was wondering about what is the best course of action for an investor when interest rates rise? Should we get out of growth stocks and move to consumer and noncyclical stocks? If our time frame is 5+ years, should we just stay the course? What 3 or 4 stocks would you recommend when interest rates rise?

Thanks for your helpful advice!

Q: What do you think is the remaining downside in this market? 0% or 5% or more than 10%? It does not bother me because markets go up and markets go down!
Many thanks
