Thank you.

Q: I'm 75 and sort of religiously line-up my rrsp based on your income model portfolio,granted i dont expect always 2017 performance and i'm ready to surf the wave but in few case a Tsunami hit few holdings at this point i wonder if GS and FSZ will ever recover or end up like KWH . Mandatory disbursement (wich you are not responsible)and losses could seriously jeopardize my capacity to keep the divi/income in line.
Thank You
Daniel

Q: Hi 5i, Seasons Greetings. I generally am a buy and hold type but could use some tax losses against earlier gains this year. The above mentioned stocks could be sold and repurchased in early January. Would that be prudent? Is there anything I should not repurchase? Thanks, Ted

Q: Hi 5i,
I am considering small average down purchases of the listed companies but unfortunately cash is limited so can't choose all of them! Could you rate/order them for rebound potential ? Currently MX & TOY are approx 3% each, FSZ 2%,and TSGI/SLF/SIS have been driven lower to approx 1% each.

Thanks
Mike

Q: What is your outlook/opinion on CIX with it's reduced dividend? Will it ever be a $30 stock again?
On an Oct. 23 question, FSZ was mentioned as maybe a better option when looking for income in retirement, but FSZ has a large 6% yield currently. Would you also like MIC with a solid 4.5% yield and a recent 9% dividend increase announcement. (we are looking to stay in the financial sector, but not the big banks or insurco's - already have those covered. Thx. (multiple credits here..).

Q: As of today, what is your best guess or guesses for companies that pay at least 4% dividend, that will have a chance at more than average capitol appreciation going forward. In my income account, among others, I own CGX, GS, TCL.A and VET. Size, sector and risk are not factors, I dont rely on the income and sleep very well during high volatility.

Q: Good morning...we own gs and are down but this had a good dividend and we are long term investors but are looking to add fsz for both dividend appreciation and larger company. Would you have an equal allocation to these two or move out of gs which we are down on in a cash account and move that money into fsz...thanks for the great service...Gene

Q: I know these companies span the financial category and they're not comparing apples to apples exactly but I'm looking to maintain stable dividend income and long term growth. Assuming equal weight except for IGM (much higher weight), would you recommend a weight shift? An addition/subtraction of position?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I've FSZ in my trading account. It has not been performing well for a while. I am thinking of switching FSZ to AD. I am looking for growth in share value and growth in dividend. Do you agree with this switch? I would not be having both FSZ and AD as my % of financial stock is high. Thanks.
