Q: I have half positions in CCL.B, ZCL, GSY,ECI and PHO; full positions in SIS,KXS,SHOP,PBH and GUD. Growth from 'good' companies is my only consideration and I have a 10 year timeline. These companies are part of the growth portion of a balanced portfolio.
Please provide guidance on the following 2 questions:
Could you rank my half position companies with growth potential as the sole criterion.
Is it reasonable to increase one's stake beyond a full position in any company that has excellent future prospects? If yes, please rank my full position companies based on growth potential.

Q: Hello Peter, Should have sold DH Corp sooner but will take a loss and deploy the cash to these three companies also some to TIO networks. Do these choices sound suitable to you? Herb

Q: I'm building a non-registered account with companies that pay out a fairly high dividend (tax efficient for the dividend tax credit) and with an emphasis on growers. In particular companies that have indicated their intention of growing the dividend 5-10% annually and in some cases provided timelines as well. Looking for steady increasing income from this account but also hoping the increasing dividend will provide a floor for the stock prices against increasing interest rates expected over the next while. Time line 5-10 years.

For example, ENB who have indicated 10-12% dividend increases through 2024 (choose this over ENF who has indicated 10% increases through 2019). This should take ENB's dividend payout up to around 9%+ based on the current stock price. I've also included ECI in the account so far.

BEP/BIP don't fit the bill due to the distributions not being tax effective.

Looking for more ideas, perhaps 5-10 that I could consider adding to gain some diversification as well.

Thanks!
