Q: Hi 5i, this is in response to Paul's question on getting historical dividend information.

I've been using this link: https://dividendgrowthinvestingandretirement.com/canadian-dividend-all-star-list/, I find very informative especially if you are looking for dividend companies that have survived the last two recessions with increasing dividends.

Enjoy!

Q: After selling a rental property I now have cash that equals approx 25% of my investment portfolio. My goal with this cash would be to create a mini portfolio within 2 TFSA's to produce dividend income to help with everyday expenses for the next 5 years or so. After this time the investments would be sold and incorporated into my balanced portfolio as the income should no longer be needed. I am looking to keep the portfolio to a max of 6 positions that are diversified from a geographical and sector standpoint. I do not have an exact income requirement, but 4% was my initial target. What investments would you suggest to meet my goals? Feel free to deduct as many credits as required.

Q: Without regard to sector allocation what are your thoughts on switching NTR for CGY. Pros and cons.
My thinking is that I would like additional buy and hold stocks like CSU and BAM.A. That I already hold.
These need less attention.
I’m more of a capital preservation investor at this stage.

Q: Hello,
We need to increase our energy exposure. We already own the above two stocks. At this time would you add to one or the other or both?
Or would you sell either one to add something different?
Thank you
