Q: Next year I have to withdraw 5.28% from my RRIF account. Instead of investing the amount in a GIC for 1year, what dividend stocks would you recommend for 1 year that gives me a good dividend, are relatively safe and has some growth. Or is better to go to a GIC?

Q: Hi guys,
I have to admit, what Altagas is doing here isn't all that clear and I have the following email from RBC Direct Investing just moments ago, so am concerned this will drag the (already beaten up) stock lower, at least in the short term. Your thoughts are, as always, most welcome!

"RBC Direct Investing TM. would like to inform you that the following New Issue has just been announced.

AltaGas Canada Inc

Short Description: Initial Public Offering of Common Shares
Price: $15.50 to $18.00
Settlement: Expected week of October 22, 2018."

Thanks,
Dawn

Q: Hey guys,

Okay, I'm a bit confused on Alta Gas. They are splitting up the company into US and CDN operations. Now they've made a purchase for about $230 million.

My questions are as follows:
1. Does it seem likely that the dividend will be cut once the company is split?
2. Do you think management knows what they are doing? It's hard to tell if they are good at what they do or if all these moves are "Hail Marys".
3. Do you think the CDN operation, when it IPOs, is worth a look?

Thanks!

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: I am retired and try to have a portfolio that pays me a dividend, is relatively safe and shows a little growth. My portfolio is primarily made up of banks, pipelines, telecoms and utilities. I own these listed utilities but am wondering if I have too much overlap. If you were to recommend selling one of them, which one would it be ?
