Q: Good Afternoon,
I don't follow the US market that closely, I'm looking for a handful of safer blue chip dividend payers ? Such as AT&T , perhaps you can list a few other names in various sectors you feel are well managed companies with good yield.
Thank-you

Q: FYI ...
I see questions posted about where to park money for short term periods and get a decent rate of interest. GIC's are mentioned but they have minimal rates and fixed terms. Virtual banks like EQ Bank currently offer daily interest at 2.3% with no minimum timeframe and are covered by CDIC (up to $100,000). They also offer GIC's.

Q: I have been a die-hard on IBM, holding through the long decline, thinking that the promised turn-around would come. Meanwhile other companies seem to have superseded them in cloud computing. I thought that I could not go too far wrong, since ibm had such a good dividend.. But, I have noticed that the dividend payout has become quite high (0.98) i think. And some have raised the question of the sustainability of the dividend. Especially since their buybacks seem to have occured when the stock price was high and not recently when low. I am thinking finally, because of this, of throwing in the towel on ibm and buy something like Nvidia in it's place. I was wondering whether you thought there was any hope for IBM and also your opinion on the sustainability of the dividend. Thanks as always for the exceptional service.

Q: DOL seems to be going out of favor with investors as the stock is drifting downward. With the current thesis by many that we are heading towards recession, does it make sense that consumers will "shop" more at a Dollarama when that happens? Would you continue to hold on, add on further weakness or move on to something else? It is currently a 2% (Half) position.
Thanks

Q: Further to your answer on the packaging companies, i have owned all three and done well across the board. I was planning on consolidating my stocks and reducing by one. Several months ago you recommended to drop WPK of the 3. You have rated them slightly differently on this latest question . Can you tell me why - is this a valuation, size or other call? As you can see, i have been dragging my feet on reducing only because i am trying not to sell my winners. I do like CCL.b the best as i can hold it on the us side of my portfolio and collect the dividend in US$.
Thanks as always
