Q: Just a comment about the site www.dividendhistory.org, members should probably be reminded that any 3rd party source providing information about a particular company should be taken with a a grain of salt and verified against other sources (such as the company's website itself). For instance I noticed that the referenced site showed a whopping dividend decrease for Savaria in 2017 and knew that wasn't right so when I checked further I note that although they supposedly adjust for splits, their system apparently didn't handled the switch to monthly versus quarterly dividends very well!

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team
Would you please explain the pros and cons of converting Cdn dollars to US dollars. I recently had two bonds called and am undecided where to put it. I believe the US dollar will strengthen form here and would just sit on the cash.
Thanks for your help. New site features are great.

Q: Hi 5 I team
I presently have BPY.UN and thinking of selling it for its poorer performance and
replacing it with BIP.UN or WSP Global. Could I get your opinion on these two or others that you might suggest. Thanks Maurice

Q: Hi 5i Team

I'm interested in reviewing the dividend history of Canadian pipelines, utilities, reits and other income stocks over the long run, namely through recessions and interest rate movements (the tagged companies are representative). I'm trying to determine if the dividends remain fairly stable or tend to fall under these circumstances.
Can you suggest a source that would help by showing dividends for a company over the long run? Ideally, overlaying short/long term interest rates to save time.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Peter
