Q: what did you make of bns quarterlies? This stock has been a laggard for over 10 years and dividend increase yearly does not even keep up with inflation. They usually increase dividend this quarter [albeit very small] but this quarter have kept dividend the same . I realize they pay a 6.5% dividend but as a shareholder you would like to
see a rising dividend yearly especially if price has done nothing for years. What do you
think as a dividend investor.

Q: Everyone, does investment strategy change with the size of your account? Does it matter if you have $10,000 or $1,000,000 or $10,000,000 or $100,000,000 etc. Clayton

Q: I have some cash in my RRSP to invest for a long-term hold. My primary goal for these funds is to add income from a higher dividend-paying, large and stable company. I’d also like some upside on capital appreciation although not the primary focus. I’m looking at these companies and I’m open to other suggestions.

Could you please rank these by the potential to increase the dividend over time?

Could you separately rank by potential capital appreciation?

Finally rank by stock price volatility

Much appreciated

Q: Dear 5i team.

Debating which utilities are still good value, now that there has been a bit of a bounce over the past few months.
I'm considering cpx vs npi, but happy to hear if you think other names have more in the tank as these two seemed to have recovered in lock step.

Many thanks for your help.

Q: I am finalizing RRIF portfolio focusing on safety and yield. I am trying to decide between Canoe Income fund and SLF. Performance-wise they look similar to me but with EIT having a higher yield. I would value your advice on selecting one of these unless you have an even better suggestion then that would be welcome as well. Thanks for all you do! Dan

Q: Greetings, 5i staff.
I am interested in quality ETFs that focus generally on emerging markets without too much weighting on China. Also, may I have two or three ETFs that have considerable focus on India and/or Indonesia?
With appreciation,

Q: Which of these three gold stocks would you go with, one of the 2 juniors (DNG or BTO) with the higher divys and potential capital growth or the larger more established AEM for its size and stability, or a blend of both?

Gold seems to be on an up trajectory so stocks should follow bullion!!

Thnx
Dave
