Investment Q&A

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

Q: I notice that you both hold VZ and are generally positive about it, and conversely are generally negative in regard to AT&T.
I hold neither of these stocks at this time, but have been thinking about getting back into one of them.
Interestingly, Standard and Poore's rates VZ a sell and T a buy.
Beyond "that's what makes a market", any comments in defense of your position. Thanks.

Q: We have sold out of USA Tech and have several full positions of USA $ in registered accounts. I no longer wish to devote as much attention to investments.
We know that USA is not your forte but could you recommend a couple of dividend paying "layups". Buy it and forget it ? We acknowledge that nothing is a sure thing.
Thanks for Your help

Q: I know Chartwell is and will be under scrutiny under the current context. I fell in love with the drip and the monthly high dividends not so much the stock.

What would be your 2-3 suggestion to replace it with? Considering I want a high monthly div that a can drip without investing 100k in!

Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. Looking to top up my Consumer sector holdings. Currently have PBH, NWC and PLC, which are more on the Staples side of things. I have a "full" weighting on each, relative to my assessment of their risk. Considering getting back into the Discretionary side...maybe rebuy LNF or MG. Could you run a screen of Canadian Discretionary stocks that pay > 3% dividend and overlay that with your ranking from best to worst...maybe the top 5 for me to consider.

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: I have managed to recover my portfolio to my December balance and have decided to move to a more conservative position while these unprecedented times continue. I hold the above stocks at approximately 2.5% each and would like to move to a 20% total. Would you recommend adding to these positions, selling some and adding something different, or just adding new. I have a well balanced portfolio and am retired without a pension so secure income is preferred.
