Q: I would like to purchase some dividend paying stocks for a non-registered account. What would be your top five recommendations for dividend paying stocks (minimum 3.5 % payout) that are also likely to have some capital appreciation over the next 3 years. Please do not include pipeline or financial stocks as I all ready have these two areas well covered. Also, are your recommendations good buys at this time.

Thanks

Q: Good Afternoon,
I don't follow the US market that closely, I'm looking for a handful of safer blue chip dividend payers ? Such as AT&T , perhaps you can list a few other names in various sectors you feel are well managed companies with good yield.
Thank-you

Q: FYI ...
I see questions posted about where to park money for short term periods and get a decent rate of interest. GIC's are mentioned but they have minimal rates and fixed terms. Virtual banks like EQ Bank currently offer daily interest at 2.3% with no minimum timeframe and are covered by CDIC (up to $100,000). They also offer GIC's.

Q: Hi,
I apologize if this has been answered before. Occasionally I have temporary cash balances in my Canadian registered and unregistered investment accounts. However, my broker does not pay any interest on those balances. Do you have any recommendations for short-duration money-market or bond-style or alternative etf's that earn interest and either pay out or increase in value? My only objective, besides earning a return, is that the etf units should maintain their value and not be subject to declines due to credit, interest rate or other risks (understanding that there is no such thing as entirely risk-free).
Thanks,
Derek
