Q: I am overweight in the financial sector and own FSZ(under water) TD and SLF. I also own some ETFs that bring this to an overweight position. If I were to sell FSZ this would bring my weight to what it should be. My question is should I sell all FSZ since it is underwater and cut the loss or take some profit off TD and SLF and keep FSZ? These stocks are in a RRSP account.

Q: If I were to buy a stock today for income and growth , would it be Fiera ?…( NO ! ).
The Schmo of the 5i Income Fund @ 26% down, and stuck in a sideways purgatory. I realize it pays 8% , but we bought high ( you usually warn us against high dividends ) . Are we just parking money here, or do you think we should take a loss and move on ? Thanks .

Q: i took a loss on FSZ last year but with recent results and my transition into retirement i wanted to get your views on the Dividend. As other members have commented it has not increased its dividend since 2019 but is the current dividend sustainable? The results seemed good and for a retiree it is very difficult to find this kind of yield?

Thanks

Q: I hold the above in my income portfolio. With the exception of psi they are half positions. psi has diminished to well under a half position. I have enough new money to top 4 or 5 up to full positions. Which of the above (if any) would you suggest deserve a full 5% weighting? I am of course willing to move in a new direction if that were your advice. I currently hold 24 positions in this account.

Q: Hi. I have held Fiera Capital for a number of years now. I note that you have considered this to be a dividend growth company in a response to Herbert on 06 Apr. My records show there has not been a dividend increase (.21 a share quarterly) since 19 June 2019. Am I missing something? Are you anticipating company growth and therefore dividend growth?
Thanks always
