Q: My portfolio is light in consumer non-cyclicals. Last week I was considering the purchase of NWC for dividend in my non registered account. With the recent earnings release and drop in price is this a good entry point or should I move on?

Would PBH be a better choice? Or is there a better non-financial dividend payer to add to my portfolio?

Thank you

Stephen

Q: Hi,
I already own some MA but I want to add more exposure to this sector. Which of these companies would you suggest for a long term hold with minimal volatility? (I'm not sure why why my TD webroker trading platform lumps CRM into the same category as the others but it does?)
Is there a credit card ETF you like?
Also, are there any equivalent Canadian stocks?

Q: The yield on the issue was 5% ($1.25/share). The reset guarantee minimum is 5%. The trades are now trading at $21. This means the if I buy the shares at this price my guarantee floor is 5.9% ($1.25/$21).
If I am looking for income not dividend growth are some of these discounted prefs a reasonable option?

Thank you,

Q: Good morning, my question is regarding PBH's recent 5 year outlook. " achieving over the next five years annual sales of $6.0 billion and an
EBITDA margin of 10%." I am wondering if this goal were to be achieved do you think this is ambitious? They estimate sales to go from 3 billion to 3.7 billion a 23% increase, so that would mean if sales are 6 billion at end of 2023 then revenue only grows at 13% per year 2020-2023 which is quite the decrease or would this be their goal without taking into account growth by acquisitions? They do note EBITDA margins would improve to 10% so maybe I am missing the importance of this.
