Q: Sitting on a lot of accumulated cash right now: any ideas solid dividend growers - TSX listed. Would consider a growth stock(s); but, most are selling at sky high multiples. Did well on ACQ and BAD many years ago; but, I understood their businesses - made a lot of money. I tend to but decent size positions if committed.

Q: Hi
Several questions have referenced your "excel spreadsheet of monthly dividend payers". It sounds very useful but I have been unable to find it. Is it available to all members?
Thank you................. Paul K.

Q: Hello 5i Team

I very much appreciated the excel spreadsheet of monthly dividend payers.

Is there an easy way to obtain the months with which the quarterly dividend payments are made (i.e. Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct; Feb/May/Aug/Nov; Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec) for the TSX60, TSX300, and/or US listed stocks other than going to the individual websites?

Having this list I could then analyse which companies to buy in order to provide essentially equal monthly dividend payments based on the quarterly payments.

Might be interesting project for a student research assistant, if such a person exists at 5i Research.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi, I’am down 5.90% on INE and was thinking of switching to ACI for better growth. I would lose $2000 on the trade, so would like your opinion for a 3+ year hold of ACI. Do you think It would be worth while or too close to call,and may just be spinning my wheels.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team
I am reviewing alternative high yield C$ investments for my RRSP for a small portion of my fixed income (< 5% of total portfolio ).
Looking at the publicly traded mortgage investment corporations (MIC) on the TSX - of the four listed, which would be your preferred choice and/or ranked in order.
Are there any other MIC listed on the TSX?
Could you also confirm that "dividends" for MICs are considered as "interest" if held in a non-taxable account.
Thanks in advance for the great service.

Q: I have held both of these stocks for over 5 years. A&W has done well , but not Boston Pizza, I'm about 15% down of the purchase price of BPF. Do enjoy the high dividend of BPF. Both are held in a RRSP account. They are 2.25% and 1.40% of the portfolio. Trying to decide if I should sell Boston Pizza and add to A&W. or move to another stock for growth. I like to buy and hold. Any thoughts would be helpful
