Q: After the first 24 hrs post Brexit, can you provide me your top 5 most overpunished dividend paying stocks that in your opinion "should" weather well in future and make a good recovery.

Q: I am resubmitting this question as apparently the symbols did not show up with my first question. Can you please comment on these stocks as to suitability for a GROWTH portfolio and if you have any concerns over any of these. Are there any substitutions you would make to this list? Thank you.

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a pension, CPP, Insured Annuities and the following securities: AD, AQN, ALA, BCE, BNS, CGX, CJ, FTS, ECI, PBH, RY, TRP, WSP, WCP, WEF, RBC Cdn Equity Inc, Sentry Cdn Income, Sentry REIT, Fisgard Capital, ZLB, XIT.

I am looking to top up my industrial sector holdings. I have WSP, and those contained within AD and Sentry Cdn Income Fund (Progressive, Republic Serv, Transforse, United Parcel, among others).

I am looking for dividend payers and have narrowed it down to DH,MG, TCL.A (filtered using P/E, P/B, P/S, P/CF, Beta, as well as technicals). DH (your rating = B+) looks good due to its FinTech exposure. MG (your rating = B+) is a possible concern due to the car cycle being long in the tooth. TCL.A (not rated) is possibly in an industry that is fading away.

Which would be your top pick for both security of dividend and capital appreciation? Please rank them in order of your preference as well as how they might fit with my other holdings.

Thanks, Steve

Q: Hello 5i,
Now that the Brexit vote is in and the markets have reacted and likely overreacted.
Are there 4-5 stocks that you would buy that have little to no exposure to the UK or Europe that have been pulled down with the tide and should bounce back sharply once sanity is restored?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi Peter and team. Just heard the news this morning. Can you suggest a few good large cap stocks with good yields to pick up if there's a significant drop in price. Looking mostly for good yield, relatively safe and at least a bit of growth. Preferably Trading on New York Stock Exchange or as ADRs. Thank you. Tulio

Q: I am looking at these 4 stocks for a combination of growth and income. Do you see any problem with these or do you have a better suggestion? Also, do you feel now is a good time to buy or would it be better to wait until summer is over?

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

I am using SHERWIN-WILLIAMS CO as an example. I like to use ROE as one of the main numbers I look at before I buy a stock, is there a point when a high ROE is a concern. SHW has a ROE of 145 ( according to my RBC banking brokerage info) is this too high? At what level do red flags come up and what causes extremely high ROE. What statistics do you look at and could you rank them for their importance in your check list.

Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
Any idea why paramount resources is going up everyday recently? I own chartwell retirement, sienna senior living (SIA), concordia healthcare and hydro one. I would like to take a bit more risk for higher rewards. I would like to sell hydro one and put the proceeds towards chartwell, sienna senior living, or concordia. Chartwell is 2 percent of my holdings, sienna senior is 3 percent, and concordia is 1 percent. I was thinking of increasing sienna senior to 4 percent where i get a nice dividend and a potential upside. I was initially thinking of concordia but there does not seem to be much interest in a takeover or does this process take along time. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks very much.
