Q: Thank you for the new feature listing the dividends increase and cuts. This is nice way to help keep track of a critical part of our investments. I hope you make this an on going feature which I think would be fairly easy to maintain. Thank you again for being a refreshing source for perspective during these tough times.

Q: In the financial sector, which is more likely to cut a dividend, the big 5 banks or the insurance companies SLF, MFC, POW ?

I am assuming it is ok to count POW as an insurance company or should it be viewed separately all together.

Kindly rate the likelihood on a scale of 0 to 10 for banks versus insurance and any differences you might see amongst the insurance companies.

Zero being less likely to cut a dividend.

I am asking this as a dividend investor who doesn't like buying a company that cuts dividends.

Are you able to list the payout records for the other listed above.
Thank you
