Q: Good morning, could you please identify 8 "safer" companies you see at or close to the bottom of their trough at this time that have a dividend (% of dividend does not matter)? For example my guess would be CNR which was at $178 in March 2024 and now at $135 with a yield of 2.63% at this price.
Thx,
Kevin

Q: Creating TFSA for 25 year old daughter. Started off really timid with VBAL then slowly started to add individual names. Small quantity in US names. If 10,000 left to add, what would you suggest to balance it out and be diversified, based on current prices, value, potential upside, while managing huge swings in price with things like metals/oil/gas? I want her to see the benefits of investing and feel the pressure so don't want to make any huge mistakes. Thanks for your great advice!!

Q: Your thoughts please on this TFSA used by a retired banker that is very simple but has vastly outpermormed the TSX. I realize only 3 sectors are covered but looks to be all quality companies?

Thx

Q: I intend to sell my CNR shares next week for the tax loss after Sept 8th when the dividend is paid. What would you suggest holding as a proxy for the next month? Is CP the best choice despite it's very small dividend or could you suggest several other Canadian companies? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, Based on portfolio analytics I am underweight consumer defensive and overweight industrials. I'm thinking of selling my CP and buying DOL for a long term hold. CP has been a laggard in my portfolio over the past four years. I realize DOL is expensive and earnings are next week. Would appreciate your thoughts on this switch. Thanks
