Q: Hello Peter
I have sold a large 2017 NB Provincial bond yielding 4.45% and need to replace it with an equity that is quite recession resistant, has a rising price and rising dividends and is not in a sector where we already own stocks.
I come up with BCE and Telus [T] as we own no telecoms. Currently BCE has a 5.24% div and Telus 3.80% div. Over the next 10-20 years which will do better for us? Do you have any other possible candidates we should consider.
Thanks Paul

Q: Regarding the dividend history. I use longrundata.com
It provides information on the last 8 dividend payments and then a 30 year history. It's a US site so you will need to add .tsx as a suffix. A disadvantage is that it doesn't seem to work where there is a dot in the address as in TCK.A or D.UN

Q: RON.PR.A got a bump today presumably because of Benj Gallander's recommendation last evening. It has a nice dividend but starts to float in March, 2016. Do you know the formula for setting the rate at that time and would you recommend this particular preferred share?
