Read Answer Asked by Mark on February 17, 2016
Q: I got lucky and called both a (near term) top in CSU and a further drop in AAPL, exiting my positions leaving $75K cash to invest.

My belief is that the next 12-24 months minimum are going to be very tough sledding for both the global economy and especially Canada therefore I'm adopting a defensive position, shying away from highly volatile growth stocks and looking to deploy that money among 5-7 dividend paying GARP stocks.

My question: adding to a well diversified Canadian portfolio, and irrespective of sector, what would be your suggestions that best combined a secure 4+ % dividend with the likelihood of share price increases in the next 1-5 years.

Thank you!

Q: The potential bid of $4.25 per share strikes me as an opportunistic attempt to take advantage of shareholders who are generally spooked by the current markets. Anyone who purchased the shares in the past 3 years or so would certainly be under water on the bid. The offer would represent only a small premium to the price the shares were trading at just a few days ago. Also the company is projected to continue growing, perhaps at a single digit rate, and pays a good dividend. Holding the shares for the next 12-15 months would more than compensate shareholders for the small premium. So why would shareholders tender shares to, what I consider, such a low offer if such an offer is eventually made. Your comments please.
