Q: I know these companies span the financial category and they're not comparing apples to apples exactly but I'm looking to maintain stable dividend income and long term growth. Assuming equal weight except for IGM (much higher weight), would you recommend a weight shift? An addition/subtraction of position?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I've FSZ in my trading account. It has not been performing well for a while. I am thinking of switching FSZ to AD. I am looking for growth in share value and growth in dividend. Do you agree with this switch? I would not be having both FSZ and AD as my % of financial stock is high. Thanks.

Q: Hello
You consistently say Pizza Pizza is good for income but little growth expected. But I see John Heinzl is selling it out of his model portfolio in the Globe and Mail. It is now down 30% in my income portfolio and I now wonder at the advisability of just continuing to hold. Just how sustainable do you think the dividend is over time? Would you expect the company to react positively to restore growth? If sold what "safe" dividend stock would you buy with a comparable dividend?
Thank you .... Paul K

Q: I was talking to my financial advisor about getting into a couple of high dividend securities north of 4% with some growth. They mentioned AW.UN, LIF, CGX, EXE. They said most of them have had a run except for the KEG and they said that one might be the better one. Which ones do you like of this group I have mentioned or are there any that you could recommend?
Thank you, Dennis

Q: I am considering adding (about 2% position) a high-yielding, non-bank financial, and am looking at FSZ or GS. My objectives are more dividend sustainability and stock price stability over growth. Do you know what the payout is for each of these, and do you have a preference for one over the other and why? Would you buy today? If you have a better idea, please comment.
Thank-you

Q: Greetings! I need to buy some safe dividend growth stocks for income, and a very long term hold. I already own plenty of bank stocks, telecom, ENB, ENF, IPL, MSI, FTS, AQN, CU.
This for a non-registered account, so .UN stocks are not of benefit. I have looked at the Income Model Portfolio. What would you consider to be good buys right now, whether or not the stocks are in the Model Portfolio? I also have a curiosity about EIF. Thank you.
