Q: After this Q I feel the next 2-3 Q's will be challenging. I'm looking at CPX & AQN and wondering even for these utilities whether this year safer to put money into their preferred rather than common shares. Their preferred shares both pay 6%+. Between the two I believe you feel AQN better because of size, true?
Thanks,
Mark

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
Which one of these two: NPI and AQN would you prefer?
Cheers,

Q: Vermillion (VET) is getting hammered this week and again today after an analyst said they will have to cut their dividend by 50%. The company says no way. I am wondering if this is so terrible for the company. They would still be paying over 8% and have more money to repay debt. The price seems too low and I think it will rebound strongly when the panic passes. What do you think?
Thanks.

Q: Is dividend growth a good long term investment strategy? Would you give me 10 stocks each for US and CA markets that are good dividend growth candidates not overpriced right now? thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,

In my non-reg account I prefer to hold stocks that I can hold onto for a minimum of 3 to 5 years and possibly 10 to 20, that have a yield of around 3% to 5% with the stock price growing +/-5% annually.

Having said that, I am looking to add a stock that would be equal to approx. 1% of total portfolio value.

I am considering adding to my renewable utility stocks (BEP, AQN, INE and BLX which currently total 7.5% of total portfolio value), bank stocks (TD and RY currently 6% of total portfolio value) or telecommunications (Telus or BCE currently 0% of total portfolio). My concern with T and BCE are the current CRTC talks and what may be the market reaction to any deemed negative outcome.

Other than the above listed stocks do any others come to mind that you would recommend at this time?

Please deduct for multiple questions as you see fit.
Thanks!

Q: Good morning. I'm thinking of using this selloff to shift some assets from a dividend paying ETF (CDZ) in a locked in account that I can’s access for at least eight years to some individual dividend payers that have been particularly beaten down. Was looking at MFC. Any other suggestions. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter & 5i,
BNS had been increasing their dividend every second quarter. Did BNS give their stated reason for not increasing the dividend this quarter in their quarterly report; or do you have an opinion why they didn't increase?
Thanks for your insight and advice.
Cheers
