Q: Is there any issue with potentially doubling up on dividends in any one month? If an investor times it right, you could purchase a stock that pays quarterly just before the x date and then sell it after the record date. You could then purchase another dividend payer before its X date and assuming this all happens in the same month you would collect two dividends in the next month from two different companies-do you see any flaws in this strategy?

Q: Based on the information I'm getting from various sources, it seems to me that it's time rearrange my portfolio to reflect the possibility of a recession in the near future. Based on that premise, I've decided to buy the 'best of the best' dividend and dividend increasing companies in Canada. I would appreciate it if you would suggest the absolute best quality companies Canada has to offer an investor in the so called "more conservative" sectors. I'm thinking sectors like pipelines, utilities, telcos but I'm open to other sectors/companies you think will hold up well in a recession. I'm looking for at least 6-8 companies that you believe would fit these criteria. Thanks as always for your guidance.
