Q: Hi guys I held these 2 companies for along while and both seem to be in a state of suspended animation .and I have been slightly underwater on both.
The div is good and grew on both but the cap loss is bothersome and the lack of interest by the market is constant.
Would you move on and look for more growth opportunities
Kind regards
Stan

Q: I have 25% in fixed income in the above ETFs. In my TD account they are all showing a small negative return. Wouldn't cash be better or a GIC. I would really like to understand the logic of holding these rather than say a GIC. Thanks so much.

Q: Rising interest rates have definitely put downward pressure on bond-proxy types of companies i.e. those that pay dividends. I am an investor who believes that those companies that pay dividends and have the ability to raise those dividends consistently over time tend to outperform. I would like to purchase 6 such companies for the income portion of my portfolio, and would appreciate the names of your favorite companies that pay, and have a history of increasing, their dividends.

Q: Most analysts seem to have a generally positive view of BCE, saying it is fine for income, but they don't expect much growth. Despite the yield, in 2018 the stock has declined from about $60 to about $55 - the same price as at the beginning of 2016 - which is negative 8% YTD. The decline more than eliminates the yield. Everyone seems to think that "interest sensitive" stocks like this one decline when interest rates rise (which might make some sense if the interest rate rise were more than the tiny amounts we are seeing). But my question is whether there is more at play here. Without exception, the BCE consumers I know absolutely hate the company and are planning to switch service providers as soon as possible. Is this the sign of trouble on the horizon for this "widows and orphans" stock ??
