Q: I am looking for 3 or 4 Canadian dividend paying stocks to add to my portfolio. What are today's picks for safe, rising dividends, and fairly priced stocks of solid companies? My portfolio is well balanced, so sector is not important.

Q: Good day 5i team, I am thinking of starting a position in North West Co. Have been waiting for a dip for entry but may just get on with it and fill my consumer non cyclical space. Question: I don't see it in the income or balanced portfolio, any compelling reasons for not including it in an income portfolio with some capital gain long term? This will be a longer term hold inside a registered portfolio

Q: Further to Eddie's question, would any US based companies have issues getting into the marijuana industry (even outside of the US) if the industry wasn't legal at a Federal level in the US? I have heard of US individuals avoiding investments in this area just to be cautious.

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm thinking on adding ZWH 5%-10% to my RRSP to cover my US exposure. This is for a income portfolio.
My portfolio now consist of 50% GIC's and
5% in each of the following stock.. BNS,EMA,ECI,ENB,SRU.UN,BCE.
10% in CDV.
Can you suggest another ETF that would fit better then ZWH? Or would you consider ZWU a better position. I see 5i income portfolio doesn't have any US equity holdings.
Would the US dividend be tax excempt within the ETF?

I look foreward to your answers.
Thank for all the excellent info!!
