Q: Greetings 5i,

What a week! Looking to sort through the rubble next week and start picking away at a few hammerd down blue chips. I have a question regarding ZDY and its dividend as I have 3 different postings for it.
TD states its $1.29/year = 4.32%
5i show its $0.20/month which should = $2.40 or 8% and yet states its 3.743%.
To make it more confusing Morning Star states 3.25%.

Hmmm.. everyone can't be correct? What are the true numbers here?

Cheers!

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I am looking to fill up my RRSP with NYSE listed US dividend stocks and US Reits over the next few weeks. What would be your six top picks in order of preference for each? I am an income portfolio investor, looking for a decent dividend, with some growth potential with stocks that are currently "on sale". Also, if you could suggest one ETF for both US listed Div Stocks and US Reits. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team,
Regarding Rogers, Bell and Telus, judging on their readiness for 5G rollout, their most recent quarter performance, and their current valuation, which of these companies will be the best buy for a 2-3 years hold? Thanks,

Q: I'm curious about what happened to REITs and utilities on Friday. They got absolutely hammered. Some of the utilities, in particular, like Boralex and Capital Power were down 6%-8%. Both sectors plunged like anvils. They performed worse than most tech stocks, yet the fears over the virus should not be able to impact their revenue and profit at all. Do you have any ideas here?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I am looking for a recommendation of an ETF to invest in US dividends for a non registered account, trading on the TSX. I would like a combination of dividend growers and some higher dividend names in the fund

Thank you!

Q: I'm going to retire next year and have recently received a inheritance. I have this money in a non registered account. PA is telling me that I need more US and international exposure. I'm looking at ETF's with dividends but being non Canadian holding I will not get the tax credit. Should I still look at dividend ETF's and not worry about the tax? I have a low to median risk for these non Canadian ETF's. I have a diversified group of large cap Canadian stocks to take advantage of the dividend tax credit. Can you give me some names to look at buying?
Thanks Greg
