Q: How vulnerable do you see telecomm sector profits and dividends, and BCE's situation in particular, to (i) major advertisers moving advertising dollars from traditional TV to social media and video streaming platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, etc, and (ii) to a continuing trend to consumers eliminating traditional home phones? Thank you.

Q: Can you provide me with a list of ~6 high dividend yield companies 5i would recommend? An assortment of small, medium, and large caps with varying levels of risk and potential for growth for me to consider would be great. I would like to take advantage of the dividend tax credit so these companies would need to have their pay out qualify for that. Thank you.

Q: hello 5i:
a question of a technical nature. I hold Telus and BCE, not quite full positions. In our area, Telus has just upgraded to the 4G network; yet, I read that both AT&T, and Verizon, are upgrading to 5G networks. Will this put Telus behind the curve, and will shares suffer as a result? Are any of the Canadian companies upgrading to 5G networks, or is this even relevant (ie, they'll play catch-up and it won't matter?)
thanks

Q: This morning RBC Direct Investing downgraded DR to sector perform which I assume contributed to the 4% price decline observed today. RBC noted the increased competition from Avera Health which is proposing to build a health complex in N.Dakota which is expected to compete in part with Medical Facilities for new patients. Considering that DR makes up nearly 5% of my income-oriented portfolio, do you recommend a reduction at this time in DR stock or is it better to wait to see what the impact really is and how DR responds?

Q: Whats your take on Defined Maturity Bond ETF's such as BSJK? As I understand it, bonds in the ETF are held to maturity to remove market value risk from rising interest rates. I've aways used ETFs' for bond holdings. However with all the noise on what rising interest rates can do to portfolio values, I'm currently mainly in cash for my fixed income allocation. Instead of buying an ETF, do you think its "practical" for a retail investor to purchase sufficient holdings to be diversified ( and held to maturity ) in order to to accomplish the same "de-risking" without the MER? And lastly how many high quality corporate bond holdings make it diversified?
