Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i - Retired income investor but also interested in growth. I have been holding FFH.PR.K:CDN for a number of years. Decent income but limited growth opportunity. It represents 1% of my portfolio. Portfolio analytics indicates I should increase my exposure to communications services. I've been thinking of selling FFH and buying BCE which I don't hold or adding to my current Telus holding (at 2.5%). Other options could be adding to Fiera (only 1% holding) or to TD (3.6%). Appreciate your thoughts and other options that provide relatively safe income with a greater long term upside. Really appreciate the good work you guys do!

Q: Hi 5i: I hold ENB.PR.Y; ENB.PR.H and FFH.PR.K in my RRSP all of which are down over 50 per cent but have provided some income. In total they represent about 2.5 percent of my portfolio.Given the fixed nature of this payout and my little interest in preferred shares, I am wondering whether it would make sense to sell these and top up some of my other blue chip dividend holdings which are down (e.g. BIP, Telus, Royal Bank, BNS, TD, FTS) and hold a better upside over the next couple of years? Appreciate your advice as always …now more than ever.
