Investment Q&A

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

Q: In response to Nick about past intraday charting, on the TSX site if you bring up a specific stock, you can then go to "price history". Enter a date and it displays the chosen days' high/low and volume. Not quite a graph, but probably what he wants, and goes back several years.

Q: The company's press release shows the ex-dividend date as Feb 18. The stock had a drop today as if the ex-div date was today, Feb 13. The WSJ quotes shows ex-div date as Feb 13. So maybe some people thought the ex-div date was today and sold. I bought 450 shares today hoping to get the special dividend on Feb 18. I hope I am right. Keeping my fingers grossed. What do you think is happening?

Q: Reply to Paul re-Canadian dividend history. Try ca.dividendinvestor.com. The free service lets you look up any company's dividend history by call letters with increases etc. The free part is for ten years of history I believe. If you get a paid subscribtion, then you can use their screeners and other services. The free site is very good for looking up history if you know which company(s) you are interested in. I have had no experience on the paid site.

Q: Hello Peter
Longrundata.com give a wonderful list of companies in the US that have increased dividends every year for 25 years or more. I have hunted and cannot find an equivalent list for Canadian stocks. Do you know where to look or maybe some of 5i readers may know.
Thankyou Paul

Q: Hello,
In the energy sector of my portfolio (12% weight), I hold CPG, FRU, KEY, TOU and VET. I'm considering adding BTE to the mix; on the + side, a great strategic acquisition (product and geography) and a nice yield while I wait; but on the - side, financing digestion issues.
Your thoughts?
Tony

Q: Hello 5i Team. I have just gone on my own with my RSP (now RIFF) with my 9 holdings. I want to switch some and buy more to get close to your Model Portfolio. Here is what I own and have owned for many years. BCE-11.25%, Enbridge-17.93%, Fortis-11.91%, Imperial Oil-13.52%, Manulife Financial-5.87%, Teck Res (TCK.B)-7.85%, TD-18.93%, UEX (bought at over $7.00 now .48cents)-.47%. Which if not all of the Model Portfolio would you suggest and what should I sell if any? I will keep UEX out of spite and when I'm old and grayer perhaps it will come back :)...you're the best and thank you ahead of time.
