Q: Hi team,
I'm looking to consolidate some of my positions to reduce the number of stocks held across 3 accounts. I have 3 US stocks in my LIRA - Apple (AAPL), Cooper (COO) and Mosaic (MOS). I realize they are all very different companies, but if I was to sell 1 to buy more of the other 2, how would you rank them?
Thanks again! Ian

Q: Hello 5i Team .
CSCO since August has been in a slow downward trajectory. What is possibly causing this. Is there some kind of seasonality affecting the stock at this time or is it something else such as future earnings? What is the potential if any over the next quarter or two? Is Cisco a buy, sell or hold? Thanks so much!

Q: Could you give me your opinion on the BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (BQY-US). It is a closed-end fund selling at about 10% discount to its value. It has a nice yield,7.4%, but the fact sheet on this fund gives rather limited information; e.g.,no MER is listed. It seems small but would it be alright for income?
