Q: If you were entering new money today to try to yield at least 4 or 5 percent, what would be your top 5-10 dividend income stocks in Canada that you feel would be a safe hold for at least ten years? Alternatively, what would be your top dividend stocks in the U.S. obviously yielding less?

Q: I am looking to add energy and health care coverage in my portfolio and am considering DUK, MDT. CVS, and XLV. Would these companies be at the top of your consideration list in their respective spaces. Is now an acceptable time to purchase or might it be prudent to await the fallout in the coming week after last week's corrective activity?

Q: Hi 5i
Recent takeovers have left me with uninvested funds. I'm looking to re-invest that cash into income generating (US stocks preferably) undervalued positions providing 3 - 5 % dividends.
What would you suggest I have a look at ?
Also, PA shows that I'm light on utilities and telecoms but the suggestions don't need to be limited to these sectors.
Thanks
Mike

Q: HI 5iResearch team,
Can you please advise re: US utilities? I believe Stephen Jarislowsky's view that the US $ will increase relative to Can $ in near term, so have converted some US$ to Cdn$ recently with plan to repurchase at better exchange. He recommended US utilities for a longer term hold. Do you concur and if so, what would you buy?
Thank you, Linda

Q: Hi Team.
In view of the current market rotation, cyclical stocks are performing better. Could you identify three US and three cyclical Canadian stocks that could still outperform in the new environment. What sectors other than finance will benefit from the new administration in the US.
I value your opinion.
Thank you
Raouf
