Q: My 31-year-old daughter would like to build a portfolio of income-paying investments within her RRSP, LIRA, and TFSA accounts, with the intention of reinvesting dividends through a DRIP over the years. Which six Canadian dividend-paying stocks would you recommend for this goal or would it be more effective to use dividend-focused ETFs instead? The primary objective is to build a portfolio that generates reliable income. Thank you.

Q: Hi,

I have been trying the understand the pros and cons of covered calls and options ETFs by looking at previous questions on the subject. I spent considerable time on the matter and I am more confused than ever.

Would you be kind enough to summarize your views on the matter and, if you are really positive about it, please provide a list of the best ETFs suitable for a strong growth investor.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: I hold SLF and MFC for income and a little growth. Do you see the need to also own POW for the same mandate? Can you help explain the significant outperformance with POW this last year compared to SLF and MFC?

Q: In a recent G&M article, Bell and Rogers could soon have competition for direct-to-cell customers from Starlink.

What future impact, if any, would this potentially have on Telus? This will be my only remaining Telecom stock, which pays me a fairly significant amount of my dividends. Do we know if there is a huge risk of future disruption for Telus?

Q: Hi there. I have a diversified portfolio that mixes growth & income stocks. I'm looking to boost dividend income in my non-registered accounts with hopes of some capital appreciation as well.

What would be your top 3 picks for Canadian dividend payers with a yield of >4% that are currently undervalued, or that have growth ahead of them over the next 3 years. We are already well invested in the financial space (banks, insurers), so would be great to hear your thoughts on companies in other verticals.

Thanks for the great advice!

Q: I hold RBA in my TFSA and have done well. TIH is performing better over the past 6 months. Over 5 and 10 years performance of the stocks is even. I notice you like TIH and would you switch from RBA to TIH for a 3 year hold. I am looking for steady /conservative growth and not concerned about a dividend. Thank you

Q: Hello team.
The above are my highest dividend payers in my unregistered account, however at the end next year I have to start withdrawing from RRSP and LIRA account and would likely elevate my income to a substantially higher tax bracket. For that reason I am think of reducing my income generating holdings in the unregistered account and be less focus on income. Conversely, while divesting in the unregistered account I would rebalance the RRIF to be more income oriented. Does this make sense and could you suggest 5 growth oriented equities with SOME income to replace the above. I already TD,BNS,BN,BAM, TFII (small position)?
Thank you
Frank
