Investment Q&A

Q: In my husbands lif account we are going to need to replace enercare with safe dividend stocks. Sectors are not important. Current holdings are : A and W, BGI.un, Crius, Gamehost, RNW. Current dividends are greater than the withdrawal. We would be looking to add stocks whose dividends would be reasonable safe in an economic slow down.
How do you feel about the following strategy and please feel free to offer other suggestions or comments:
Bip.un, Bce, Alta gas, Bns-
Either fortis or Aqn
And then something with growth potential such as a corby ( as it has no debt) or transcontinental ?
We are also open to other suggestions.
Thank you.

Q: Hello,

I am confused by spb’s decision to sell equity into the market at market prices, over a period of time. Doesn’t this put a ceiling on the stock? And in fact help drive the price lower? Would seem to be a shorter’s dream.
