Q: Hi 5i Team, I'm a retired dividend investor supported by portfolio dividends.

Currently, I'm holding positions in ENB and TRP for my pipeline weighting. I'm concerned about the lagging performance of TRP. What are your thoughts on trading TRP for PPL? Alternatively could also consider GEI or KEY.

Can you please list your favorite pipeline selections in order of growth and safety?

I like to hold 2 sector companies for diversification. Also, as TRP has been flat there are no cap gains. Please advise.

Thank you.

Q: Hi - of these two stocks, would you be buyers of both at current prices? Do you favour one over the other or are comfortable buying both? Growth objective and held within diversified portfolio. Which of the two would perhaps have greater downside in a recession? In your mind does either have a beta higher than 1 in a mkt downdraft? Thanks as always!

Q: Currently I hold both of these diversified metals companies (3.72% position in RIO and 1% position in BHP). BHP is a fairly recent addition. I have held RIO since 2019 and have added over time. I am questioning the wisdom of holding both companies and thinking of selling BHP (small gain) I consider RIO the best choice for a long term hold. Would appreciate your comments please.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for using options to generate routine income. So far, I mainly write puts on companies that are temporarily out of favour but that I wouldn't mind holding for a while and also collect a dividend if I end up having to hold for a bit (e.g, ENB, TD, BN, CVS). I do this randomly (e.g., once or twice a year on a couple of companies) but would like to increase the frequency. I don't have a good sense for what expiry date I should choose (I typically go out six months or more) or the best strike price (I usually pick around the current price). Do you have any good ideas for the current market that you could suggest and could you recommend a resource to do more research. I'm currently thinking of writing puts on TD, CVS, and BTI and wondering if I should scatter their expiry dates.

Thanks as always,
Lisa
