Q: I am looking for the "safest" dividend paying stocks to add to the above list that will help me weather the recession that according to most commentators will last well into 2023.
5 each from the US and Canada will be of great help.
Many Thanks

Q: Is Verizon a value trap? It has been drifting lower, and wondering if this is due to interest rates (in which case it will rebound if rates drop) or a lack of growth prospects that will forever blunt its share price. I'm fine with it as a dividend payer if it is sustainable, but at present it is bleeding off capital that still puts me in the hole. If it's share price isn't going to recover, should I dump it?

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: I am moving toward retirement and looking for stocks with a Dividend of 4% plus. Could you suggest some Canadian and US companies that you feel are good value in todays market or ones to watch for this fall if things go down- separate lists please. All categories except financials as I'm overweight there. I'm interested in companies that can ride a recession with higher interest rates. Thank you!

Q: My portfolio analytics is showing that I'm a bit low in my communication services sector.

Beyond the obvious telecom companies, what are some of the less obvious companies or perhaps ETFs that would fit into this sector?

Also, including the telecoms, could you rank your top few Canadian and US buys for this sector.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hello, happy Canada to all. Currently building a moderate portfolio with the stocks above, all full positions except WSP, open to also taking on some more risk and buying into the negativity. Long runway of 5-10+ years. Am looking for 3 new options that would help achieve an overall 2.5-3% dividend yield (2 CAN and 1 US). And 3 growth options (2 CAN and 1 US). Please omit GSY, ENB, MG, TOI, and GOOG (I know, sorry) as these are also held in a separate account. Thank you for all that you do!

Q: I need to increase telecom portion of my portfolio, so I am considering buying one of these four: BCE, Telus, VZ, and VOD. Can you please rate these companies at the scale of 1-10 in terms of anticipated total return and safety (I am a conservative investor) over the next 5-10 years. Please disregard tax credit and US withholding tax consideration as I am in a high tax bracket and, if needed, can free up some room in RRSP. Thanks.
