DON'T BUY
It pays a dividend, but too much for them to properly cover. Telus has made acquisitions lately to goose up revenue, so they had to raise more equity through equity issues which diluted the shares. Comparing its chart to its peers stretching back to 2003, Telus has been a poor performer. A lot of companies, including Telus, goose dividends to drive shareholder returns, but eventually markets figure this out. Avoid.
COMMENT
Is there really a V-recovery? For most U.S. stocks, like the banks, they haven't seen a V recovery. Remember that stock markets look to the future, so some investors are optimistic, while others are more cautious and expect a slower recovery. The market does not reflect the economy, necessarily. Tech stocks, like Amazon and Google, are driving the markets, while other stocks remain 20% down. This is a bifurcated market. Nobody really knows what the recovery will be. Also, remember that fiscal stimulus lasted 3-4 years after the recession, and there was slow economy growth. Don't be surprised if this happens again. Does your optimism about the recovery match the market's?

A perennial grower for many years. They had a big drop-off during the lockdown as people stayed home, but online shopping enjoyed a huge surge. They have great cash flow and continue to buyback shares. Expect dividend increases again in the future. The pandemic will drive direct payments away from cash that will benefit Visa. Now is a good entry point. (Analysts’ price target is $200.85)

DON'T BUY
Did the Saudis buy into Suncor and CNQ? He believes this is true, that a large Canadian pension fund sold these stocks to the Saudis. Can't comment on the stocks themselves; anything oil and gas been difficult. This industry can't catch a break. Oil prices can't trade at these prices for long, and a second wave will hurt these stocks more.
BUY

BAM vs. BIP For income, buy BIP; for capital appreciation, BAM. Both are well-run. BAM is the parent company and is one of the biggest asset managers in the world. BAM is solid and will be hunting for properties in this pullback; they are skilled investors. It's trading at a discount to NAV which means some downside protection It's a little difficult to understand all of BAM's moving parts and its reliance on various financing vehicles. (BPY is struggling, but will be a drag on BAM.) BIP and BAM will be fine long-term.
