Investment Q&A

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

Q: As a dividend investor, I read with great interest the article by Peter and Moez in the November/December issue of Canadian Moneysaver, titled 'Does High Yield Really Mean Higher Risk? YES, YES, YES!'. Some compelling long-term return data showing returns of equities stratified by dividend yield were presented in the paper. Were the data based on all constituents of the TSX index? TSX 60? Something else? Would you be able to provide similar data for the S&P 500 and world indices as well (only return data would be great, I'm less interested in the other tables)? Thank you.

Q: Hello 5I gang
what are your thoughts on wifi. Very very small, is there anyone else in this space you would look at? Love the technology as we have been hearing about this problem for years. Are they the real thing and should we step in for a long term hold.
thank you for your great service

Q: Hi, I have had fsz for approximately 3 years, b.e is 13.74 and have been thinking if it has dropped about $4 in this market , what will happen in a down market?
My other option was NA bank which has been a lost opportunity. Should i sell fsz (7%) and buy na, or sell half and buy half na. Or just stay the course?
I think fsz is ok, for dividend but getting a little worried with where it’s at after such a great market the last 3 years. I do like to keep a stock 3+ years to give it a chance to work. With a good market and good management I find it usually works out. In a poor or flat market of course all bets are off. also I do have TD in my financial sector which has done well.
Thanks

Q: Hi Folks,

I'm seeking any insight you might be able to provide me with regarding the probable long term viability of BTB's current dividend. In answer to a prior question, a fellow 5i subscriber submitted, you indicated that you would be more comfortable with BTB's dividend if the payout ratio were to drop below 90%. Do you know if it may have now dropped to or below that level and if so, do you suspect that the very generous 8.37% yield the company pays may be "safe" for the foreseeable future?

Lastly, is this a firm you might consider investing up to 5% of your assets in, if you were 62 years of age and on the cusp of retiring? By the way, I suspect that I will require a sustainable yield of 6%, that will at least keep pace with inflation over the next 5 years, in order to be able to retire before I reach 65.

Thank you!
