Q: I hold SLF and MFC for income and a little growth. Do you see the need to also own POW for the same mandate? Can you help explain the significant outperformance with POW this last year compared to SLF and MFC?

Q: In a recent G&M article, Bell and Rogers could soon have competition for direct-to-cell customers from Starlink.

What future impact, if any, would this potentially have on Telus? This will be my only remaining Telecom stock, which pays me a fairly significant amount of my dividends. Do we know if there is a huge risk of future disruption for Telus?

I need to sell or trim one of the following position in my RRIF. Which position would you sell at this time? I would have to sell all BCE or part of ENB or BNS to get the withdrawal amount needed.

Q: Hi there. I have a diversified portfolio that mixes growth & income stocks. I'm looking to boost dividend income in my non-registered accounts with hopes of some capital appreciation as well.

What would be your top 3 picks for Canadian dividend payers with a yield of >4% that are currently undervalued, or that have growth ahead of them over the next 3 years. We are already well invested in the financial space (banks, insurers), so would be great to hear your thoughts on companies in other verticals.

Thanks for the great advice!
Erick

Q: I hold RBA in my TFSA and have done well. TIH is performing better over the past 6 months. Over 5 and 10 years performance of the stocks is even. I notice you like TIH and would you switch from RBA to TIH for a 3 year hold. I am looking for steady /conservative growth and not concerned about a dividend. Thank you

Q: Hello team.
The above are my highest dividend payers in my unregistered account, however at the end next year I have to start withdrawing from RRSP and LIRA account and would likely elevate my income to a substantially higher tax bracket. For that reason I am think of reducing my income generating holdings in the unregistered account and be less focus on income. Conversely, while divesting in the unregistered account I would rebalance the RRIF to be more income oriented. Does this make sense and could you suggest 5 growth oriented equities with SOME income to replace the above. I already TD,BNS,BN,BAM, TFII (small position)?
Thank you
Frank

Q: Hi
My question from a few days ago was about your opinion or recommendation for safest investment for TFSA with 5 to 10 years horizon. BMO, BNS or other banks, utilities or insurance etc. What's your opinion on these types of stocks? Thanks.

Q: In my RIF and TFSA accounts I way overweight BNS, which has performed splendidly, not to mention its attractive dividend. Looking to spread some of the market risk to TD but I'm leery of the other banks as they appear way overpriced by comparison. As an income investor, should I shift to ENB, FTS, EMA for more safety?

Q: I need to deploy about $400K in equities for a 75 year old friend whose instructions are conservative, low beta dividend paying stocks. He already has the usual suspects including the banks, Enbridge, plus FC and a few others. I can always add to his current holdings but RSI says many are stretched at the moment. Any thoughts or recommendations?
