Q: What is your outlook/opinion on CIX with it's reduced dividend? Will it ever be a $30 stock again?
On an Oct. 23 question, FSZ was mentioned as maybe a better option when looking for income in retirement, but FSZ has a large 6% yield currently. Would you also like MIC with a solid 4.5% yield and a recent 9% dividend increase announcement. (we are looking to stay in the financial sector, but not the big banks or insurco's - already have those covered. Thx. (multiple credits here..).

Q: As of today, what is your best guess or guesses for companies that pay at least 4% dividend, that will have a chance at more than average capitol appreciation going forward. In my income account, among others, I own CGX, GS, TCL.A and VET. Size, sector and risk are not factors, I dont rely on the income and sleep very well during high volatility.

Q: Good morning...we own gs and are down but this had a good dividend and we are long term investors but are looking to add fsz for both dividend appreciation and larger company. Would you have an equal allocation to these two or move out of gs which we are down on in a cash account and move that money into fsz...thanks for the great service...Gene

Q: Have owned CIX for some time and its way below the purchase price. Thinking of switching to FSZ. Is this a move you would recommend or is there still potential for growth in CIX. Which stock would be the safest in a downturn market.

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: Hi, I like to raise some cash for new opportunities and have already trimmed some of my winners. However these companies have not done much in close to 2 years.
Wcp down 5000
XTC down 4500
Fsz down 2000
Et. down 1500
Sector not a issue, would you sell one or two of these or take a chunk out of each one?
Thanks

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: I would like to purchase some dividend paying stocks for a non-registered account. What would be your top five recommendations for dividend paying stocks (minimum 3.5 % payout) that are also likely to have some capital appreciation over the next 3 years. Please do not include pipeline or financial stocks as I all ready have these two areas well covered. Also, are your recommendations good buys at this time.

Thanks
