Q: I`m not sure this is even fair question, so I`ll understand if you pass on it. I rode dividend stocks to nice profits a couple of years ago and think the time might be right for a strategy like this again. I would like to get something in the neighbourhood of at least 4% and preferably large enough that the downside is limited if I have to sell. I have $100K U.S. and about $400K Can. More than half of my retirement income comes from stack-market returns. Clearly I would to be diversified and would appreciate a number of suggestions.Thanks for the help

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My question this morning is general in nature. I manage an RRSP account which I pretty closely follow the 5i Income Portfolio. However in several cases I substitute companies in the Income Portfolio with the following:
- Sub PKI for SPB
- Sub T for BCE
- Sub FSZ for IGM
The above subs have better growth rates which should translate into better dividend growth over time. I would like your opinion of the above subs please ??
Also you have removed IGM from the Income Portfolio. Does this mean you are bearish on the asset manager sector generally or just IGM in particular ??
Thank you for your sage advice. DL

Q: I am substantially down on PUR. Is it a good time to top it up? Also down on PEO. Would that be a top up candidate as well?

Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team!

I am in the process of having my portfolio mirror the 5i Model Portfolio. I currently own Tricon Capital, would it be considered a good substitute for Home Capital Group or would you recommend making the switch? Which one currently has the higher upside potential? The portfolio is held in RRSP/TSFA accounts.

Thanks for the great service!
Angelo

Q: Regarding the much anticipated new portfolio picks: I am not looking to put words in your mouth, but is part of your thinking here related to the periodic tendency of the market to swoon/ re-trench around this time of year ..... commonly phrased as "Sell in May and Go Away." .... except you will add a new wrinkle to it and step in when others are abandoning stocks at attractive "buy" prices?

Thanks.

Q: hi

I have about 20K to invest in stocks. I have been thinking about investing in the companies listed in the balanced portfolio. So the only stocks I would own would be the ones listed in the balanced portfolio, what are your opinions on this? Are there any other companies that would be a good addition to the list as well?
I already have money in fixed incomes.
thanks in advance,

Q: Hi guys, I have both ADW.A and ADW.B (not sure why -- mistake on my part?) The stock has done very well but today, ADW.B is down 10.5% while ADW.A continues to trickle up as usual. Can you tell me why there would be such a difference? Thanks!

Q: Hi there,

I follow your BE portfolio and I noticed CSU and SJ seem to be down a bit this morning. Do you think at these prices, it would be a good entry point?

Thanks!
