Q: Hi,

Total return, long term investor with a diversified portfolio. If you had new money to add to a portfolio, would you consider CCL.B and T decent prospects, especially on weakness in the last year or so (these are small holdings in my portfolio)?
Thanks, Michael

Q: These stocks all have a dividend yield of 5% or greater and have market capitalization greater than 3 billion. When I see BNS with a dividend yield of 7.5% I have to think that the market is near a bottom realizing that the prices can always go lower. Please rate these stocks in two ways: safety of dividend and estimated 5-year total return. Do any of these stocks cause you any concern now or long term? Thanks.

Q: What advice can you offer when considering the purchase of a stock that has declined to attractive levels, but in so doing has become vulnerable to tax loss selling given the time of year? Kinaxis, Brookfield Renewable and Telus come to mind, but there are others.

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking at topping up to a full position in either Telus, BCE or ENB. This will be in my TFSA account. Can you recommend one that not only will have some growth when interest rates peak but the dividend will remain intact as well.
Thanks

Q: These large cap dividend stocks have declined significantly. Would you consider them on sale now to add or purchase at these time? Eventually these stocks should recover perhaps even without cutting theirs dividends.
Thanks for your input on this matter.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
Would you please rank the companies for the sustainability of their dividend going forward?
Would you also rank them in the order that you would purchase for yield and dividend?

Q: Hi, I’m overweight Telus, and although I like it, I feel it is stuck in this low range until it gets much better quarterly results. Do you agree?
So as a dividend investor I would like to sell part to a more reasonable weight, and would like 3 suggestion for another dividend replacement.( sector not a big issue). Thanks
