Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: HI again 5i (third try). We are a mid 70's couple needing to increase our monthly div. income slightly to satisfy our monthly RIF payout. Please suggest your best ideas to increase our low cash position and which monthly div. payers to add. We could take some profits or sell from among nflx, vmd, xhc, itx, vun, toy, iyt, zuh, atd.b, aem.
We have half positions in your income portfolio excluding cpd, cvd, plc, tcl.a, xhy.
We realize our fixed income is very low for our age group but with 10% of our 425k portfolio in slf and our 700k home adds some safety. Please deduct as many credits you see fit. Thanks so much.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.,
Emera is selling off this morning after reporting Q2 results yesterday. The company has also lowered its dividend growth guidance to 4% - 5% versus 8% previously. I currently hold a 3% weighting in my portfolio. Would this be a good time to add to my position? At today's price, I can lock in an almost 6% yield expected to grow 4% - 5% annually. This yield is significantly better than what I get on Fortis right now. Would I be taking on significantly more risk with Emera than Fortis?
Many thanks,
Brian
