Q: I purchased VZ about 6 months ago. The thesis was that it was a safe stock to hold during a market correction and it also paid a great dividend. Since then, the stock has plummeted 15% - not much of a safe place to be.
In your opinion, is VZ now a hold in an income portfolio, and is the dividend safe?
Many Thanks

Q: I want to thank all of you at 5i for this excellent service that you provide. This question is concerning the takeover offer put up by applovin. Is this a low ball bid? Is it a possibility that another company might give it some loving and bid on it as well (bidding war)? I’m under water so I’m just contemplating when to crystallize the loss. Please deduct as many credits as required.

Q: Noticed some insider buying by the CEO and the recent pop in the price despite lots of negative news headlines….could you go through the long term and short term pros and cons for this stock

Q: Hello, I saw that there are seven new CDRs from CIBC: Verizon, McDonald's, Nike, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, United Health, and Cisco. Without going into the CDRs versus buying on American exchanges debate, I am curious to know if some of these stocks are worth buying today, which ones, the reason why and in what order (from most compelling to least)., presumably for a 5-year holding period. Thanks.

Q: Everyone, I need to sell GOOG to crystallize losses and buy back in 30 days. What would you buy as a substitute? Clayton

Q: Assuming we are due for a rebound, can you provide your top 5 Canadian and top 5 US growth stocks that you would be buying today for a 3 year hold. Any commentary would be helpful.

Thanks for all your great advice.

Q: Does the recent earnings release provide some clarity on EPAM short and longer term? Would you consider it a buy? Thank-you

Q: I was just stopped out of CG on today's ex-dividend date. The stock took a precipitous drop, apparently, due to the announced departure of Kewsong Lee. I realize that this kind of thing happens all the time; however, is there a materially negative issue that should preclude my re-purchase of CG?
Thanks,
David

Q: MPW pays a dividend of some 7%. I do hold a small position and am wondering if I should maintain or exit. I like the yield but in the past I have not had capital appreciation success with "high yield" stocks and usually ended with a net loss. I don't see any reason to exit except the high yield is telling me the market knows something I do not. Am I "over-reacting" ? Thanks John

Q: Is starbucks stock a good investment

Q: Can I please get your view on the takeover bid for Atlas (ATCO). As a shareholder I'm tempted to sell but would appreciate your thoughts.
