Q: Hi All:
RBC just paid their quarterly dividend on Friday. The DRIP portion bought new whole shares. The closing price on Friday Aug 23 2019 was $96.60. The DRIP repurchased at $99.6542. A big noticeable difference this time. This shows up in my account as a purchase on Aug 23 2019. I have read somewhere that the DRIP price is an average. Over how many days do they average? Is this standard practice that all companies with DRIP's do this? ie: CM, BNS, BCE, etc I have been also wanted to know when Peter does a webinar he usually covers a few stocks worth watching. Where, if any, would this be found on 5i? I recently put in to follow 'MIsc' Which covers a lot of general information for all investors. Thanks again for your very useful and resourceful answers.

Q: Today, the 10/2 year spread just dipped into the negative territory. What are your thoughts for investors going forward and how do you see this as an impact for the global economy?

Q: With the world feeling a little uneasy about a pending recession, I want to keep only holdings that will weather a downturn. I'm not trying to time the market, and want to hold stocks, that while they may dip, have good balance sheets, good management, and will likely see a recovery. Others I will sell and hold the cash. Above are my current holdings. Do you see any that may be susceptible to excessive weakness in a recession and would therefore meet my sell criterion? Thanks,
Kim
