Q: Hi,

I'm looking for two good dividend payers, with some growth, and minimal volatility over the next 2 years. If they perform, I'd prefer to hold them long term. What to do you recommend and why? I already own AQN. If theres a better choice I haven't mentioned, pease do.

Q: How is it that Zimbabwe can pay a dividend beyond (by quite a bit) what the underlying holdings seemingly pay. Does the covered call element really make up the difference or are they returning my capital in part?

Q: I have a question about fixed income ETFs and the bond market. Is this the time to be putting large sums of money into fixed income ETFs like ZAG, VAB and ZCM?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Q: I bought both of these for dividend. But of course I'm not comfortable with the huge losses. Both are down significantly and not recovering well. Are there any reasons to hold these or should the money be put elsewhere?

Thanks,

Q: Happy New Year 5i and thanks for being there!
I just transferred TDB171 for $6000 from a non registered investment into my self directed TFSA. Thereby gaining 1.7% in MER fees.
TDB171 is about 50% income and 50% equity.
My thought is to redeem these funds and purchase some dividend DRIP eligible stocks.
Looking at purchasing some income and potential growth stocks.
H, ZUT, and ZWB come to mind because their dividends are currently north of 4% and would allow a DRIP return. With the anticipation of the market rising over the next 3 years and a 3-5 year investment period would you see these as safe moves with a reasonable chance of gain? Any other suggestions in any sectors would be appreciated along with your comments which are also desired and welcome.
