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.

Q: Hello,
I have been a holder of FSZ for a while now but the share price doesn't appear to get any traction. I thought after their latest quarter, they might get a lift but it looks like it is drifting back again. I like the yield but other than that it's been a disappointment.
I currently own TD and SLF which both have segments comparable to FSZ's business. Are there any compelling reasons to keep holding this company, any catalysts that you are aware of that might get this stock moving? Is this just a yield play with very little price appreciation to be expected?

Thanks for your help,
Dan

Q: GS reported earnings yesterday. If I understand the report correctly, the quarterly earnings do not appear to cover the quarterly dividend. Plus, a special dividend is being paid. Can you please discuss/ explain the report and advise whether, in your opinion, the situation is sustainable? Thank you kindly in advance for your reply. Following these results would you continue to prefer FSZ over GS?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I want to add some funds to the energy and financial sectors and I currently hold both ENB and FSZ from the model portfolios. Both have had increasing dividends for the past 5 years but both have also gone down in the past year.

I was wondering if you have any idea why FSZ has declined and if it is still ok to add to both these holdings?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hi 5i - WSP is in your income portfolio and I'm wondering, as it is declining, is it a good time to buy or could you recco another few income stocks instead.
Thx - Doug

Q: Would you be comfortable with a 3% position at this time (new position) or should I wait until it settles a bit ? Also, can you please comment on the payout ratio, sustainability of the dividend and the quality of the management team. Will the current share price make it be harder for them to make new profitable acquisitions ? Thank you.
