Q: Hello Peter & team.
I bought DCI-T (direct payments) a while ago at $25.49 & wonder if it is worth keeping. I am retired, like dividends & some growth & have a 3 to 5 year time horizon. DCI is now less than 1% of my portfolio. Should I keep it or move on to something else ?
Thanks in anticipation, Best wishes, Paul.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
There were two preferred shares recommended on BNN this afternoon, PWF.PR.S (rated P1) and BRF.PR.E, that I would like a second opinion on.
Both offer healthy yields, and sell at discounts to their call prices. I am thinking of boosting my preferred share content in my dividend-oriented portfolio. Other than interest rate risk, do you see any red flags on either of these issues?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Richards Packaging (RPI.UN) has moved higher since your last Report on it and your last Q&A comment as well. It was a C-plus stock for you to start with. Is it getting too expensive to buy now, at 52-wk highs, all things considered, or are underlying fundamentals improving to support the recent move? Thanks.
