Q: AAPL caused some stress for payment companies with their announcement re: getting more serious about the payments business some weeks ago. Do you think Amazon’s announcement re: “free wireless to Prime members” has a greater or lesser potential impact on VZ and AT&T?

Q: Hi team,

I recently trimmed my position in NVDA and I would like to add the proceeds to my dividend income.

I currently owe BAC, BX, DFS, DUK, HAS, GLW, KMI, NVT, PAC, SWKS, VZ, WMB AND ABBV for dividend and some growth. I would like to add one or more US company to this list.

Any suggestions to add to this list? And, what company would you replace in this list if you have any concerns?

Oh, I'm not a big fan of tobacco companies.

Thank you for the great service and I really appreciate your insights.

Stephan

Q: Hi Folks
Verizon has dropped below $35. It pays a healthy dividend. Is this a good time to buy some shares? Do you think the dividend is safe? I am looking to add it to my RRSP account.
Thanks
