Q: HI Guys
I have never used any margin to do any investing but thinking of when I was around in 2009 and some CDN banks were yielding over 10% and wondering afterwards why I did not but more of these, suddenly, high yield "safe" investments. Afterwards it stuck myself how nice it would be to have that yield for life! So this time around I have no debt, a house paid off, and considerable assets, so was thinking of borrowing a bit to see if we could take advantage of this unfortunate downturn. So wondering if you could suggest 5 CDN companies to invest in, in 5 different sectors, and whose stock value has dropped considerably. Companies that have great risk management, have rock solid balance sheets, that are now yielding above 5%, and whose stock you could see substantially higher when the market swings up again, or at least will maintain their dividend. Thinking in terms of time - at least a year or two here.
Much thanks for all your guidance through these tough times.

Q: What's with the "second wind" of TRI?

Last year I bought TRI around $88 and sold it in 11/2019 for a loss after it seemed to have lost its momentum. It's now up 20% since (up $18). What's with this "second wind"?. TRI was a sleepy blue chip for years and woke up in 2019 for its "first wind". Is this stock still worth chasing for momentum investors like myself?

Love to have your take.

Q: Please recommend a few stocks to deploy some cash. I am hesitant to buy into these strong markets (I'm cheap) but am getting impatient waiting for any kind of correction. Looking for reasonable safety, decent dividend and some growth, irrespective of sector.

Thanks as always

Q: I am looking for a stock for my TFSA and am thinking about either Nutrien or Thompson Reuters. I am retired and not likely to need this money for many years, if ever.

Ntr has a pretty ugly chart with lower lows and lower highs for the last year, but a pretty good dividend. It might appear to be bottoming at around $60. They also seem to be rather wedded to their old production technologies and are not putting much into R&D (unlike some competitors), which causes me some concern, though it is perhaps offset by tremendous change taking place on their retail side .

TRI seems to only go up, but has only half the yield. They've certainly made a lot of changes in the last couple of years.

Recognizing that they are very different businesses, which would you prefer to own and why?

I hold all these stocks in a non registered account, to take advantage of their dripping and tax advantages. I have the $ to buy another holding. What top 3 companies do you suggest to add to this mix for a long term hold, my goal is the highest dividend possible, with as little risk as possible. Also, do you have any issues with the compaies already held? I also have other growthier holdings in my tfsa as well as etfs for US and International exposure in my RRSP.
