Q: Hi Peter & Ryan, I’m very light in the healthcare sector after recently selling JNJ. I rely on dividends to supplement my pension income and was looking at DR:CA, EXE:CA and SIA:CA. Can you please comment on each of these, quality of the companies, management, safety of the dividend etc. Feel free to suggest other names not listed Canadian or US. Dividend payers preferred. ( I already hold csh.un and used to own sis). Thanks. Mario

Q: What is your view of this company currently? I know they miss their numbers at least half the time should we be expecting this again today after they report? I currently have 1000 shares and I am down about 35% would you average down? I like the dividend and this holding sits in an RRSP account with a long time horizon. Thanks as always.
