Q: I purchased BMO & CM when the yields were well over 5.5%. I also own & would like to continue to own BAC & MFC. Financials make up 25% of my portfolio now. I would like to sell CM & BMO. Are there any higher yielding dividend stocks in other sectors out there yielding over 5% that may be "mispriced" similar to how CM was back in 2009/2010?

Q: i own a half position in CIX (down 17%) and a full position in IGM (up 6%). Both pay a decent dividend. I am concerned with the long term viability of these two stocks. I like the income, but, income could be in question if mutual funds lose their luster. IGM and CIX have both recently risen in price. Would you, sell both, and move to a different financial/insurance type stock, sell CIX and move proceeds to IGM or vice versa?
Q: I am considering a position in CM, which has increased considerably in the last couple of months. Is this a reasonable time to get in, or should I wait for a pull back?
