Q: Hello Team,

I'm about 5-6 years away from retirement and have starting to move some of my growth portfolio into dividend paying stocks. Currently I have 25 different holdings in my account (mostly your growth portfolio mixed with a few of your favourite US names). I have 11% of my portfolio in 3 dividend stocks, T, CJ and BEP.un.
