Q: On 7 December 2018 Rick asked for your list of top 20 dividend paying Canadian Companies. Would you have a similar list for top 20 growing/dividend paying companies in 1) USA and 2) International (ex-Canada and USA ) at the present time? These would be for a non-registered account held by a retiree with a holding period of up to 5 years.

Q: Good morning,
As an income investor, I have the following utility holdings that amount to about 12% of my non-registered holdings: FTS (up 10%), EMA and NPI (breaking even) and ALA (down 50%). I have no need to sell any of these and enjoy the dividends, but as a conservative senior and in a rising interest rate environment do you think it would be prudent to unload/reduce some of them or just hang on? If sell/reduce which should be the first to go?

Global X Active Ultra-Short Term Investment Grade Bond ETF (HFR)
-
iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (FLOT)
Q: I've been comparing these two funds and while they appear to be essentially taking the same approach. HFR has Canadian & US holdings and FLOT has exclusively US holdings. Yet their is a substantial difference in their yields. But FLOT yield is 4.3% and HFR 2.3%. I don't get it.
Yield is nice to have but I'm more concerned with capital preservation through the end of this business cycle. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Q: Hello,
We live in "interesting times"!
I have been patiently waiting to add more of AQN but price keeps rising without respite, even during major pullbacks! What magic is going on at AQN?
1) Does it look like a Top is forming around $14?
I'm sure the stock is very compelling as a momentum vehicle and maybe I should nibble both on the Up and on the Down.
As ever, your helpful thought appreciated.
Regards

Q: Good Morning,
I follow your Income model and I am considering swapping Hydro One for Algonquin. Looks like they have similar valuations but AQN has a higher growth rate and higher dividend yield. Any thoughts ?
