Q: You recently answered another question in the following words.
you may be best served by a well-diversified conservative (or even balanced) portfolio. For your equity component (what ever allocation you decide) stay focused on large-cap dividend payers and weight defensive sectors generously.

If I want to stay with Canadian stocks only, please name your top 10 stocks that would fit this bill.

Thanks.

Q: Apparently,
"The National Post sold the rights to the Financial Post information services that included the Dividend records and a lot of information that they produced. (Convertibles, warrants, New Highs, New Lows) That list would have been part of the information services for which the Financial Post no longer has the rights."

Q: Hey Peter. I had a look at your last BNN visit and was considering adding ABT based on it being a top pick. I have reviewed your recent questions and answers as well. I'm wondering if you were making the pick today would it still be a top pick based on the lower valuation? If not, at what price point would you suggest someone starting to enter with a half position?

Thanks!
