Q: I hold the above in a RIF and have weighted to cover the required withdrawal amount with dividends. Does this sound appropriate and if not, would appreciate your thoughts. Do you see a major loss of principal if markets continue its downward trend. Thanks for all your help.

Q: I'm considering buying Surge Energy on the recent weakness. What are your thought? I like the dividend. But, what are the prospects for recovery on stronger oil prices? Is there a company you think presents a better opportunity at today's prices?

Q: Hello guru's,

I currently hold equal weight in ATD.B and L. Both are off a bit, but no concerns. Question- is there any point in consolidating to one security or it is it preferable to remain diversified.

Bonus question, I have ZCL, OTEX and GSY and are all down 10%. I am underweight in KXS,NFI and SJ. Do you see any point in moving into the underweight stocks, at the cost of the trading fees, in the hope that there is any upside.

I have no problem waiting out an upturn in the market, how ever long that takes.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I currently have the above ETFs. I find that the dividend are a bit low (~2%). I was wondering if there are alternatives to the above in the 4-5% dividend range for income?

Q: In my portfolio I am overweight in Canadian Financial (Banks) and the US tech stocks, but I have no exposure to the Materials sector (except gold.) Can you please recommend me a few materials and mining stocks (in the order or your preference) or do you suggest an ETF.
Based on the recent weakness of the sector is this the right time to get in this sector? or do you suggest that you should stay away

Q: Hi,
I looked at the Thomson Reuters Report dated for today's date - 2017-06-15. On page 3 of the report it shows the 12 month Price Target mean price as $10.10 with a a Target vs Current upside of +15.4%.
The problem is TCN is currently already at $11.55 as I write this. How can they put a report out with todays date calling for 15.4% upside when the price is already beyond their highest 12 month target price?
I thought the Thomson Reuters Reports were a nice "confirmation" tool as they rate Tricon a "10" but now I don't know if these reports are even worth looking at. I have noticed other similar anomalies in other stock reports with them. Can you clarify what is going on here?
Thanks.

Q: Good Evening 5i,
I need to add a "communications" company to my dividend fund. I would appreciate it if you could rank T, BCE, RCI.B and SJR.B for me. I'm planning on a 5 year hold and hoping for reasonable/modest annual increases in both the dividend and share price. Would you recommend 1 full position or 2 half positions?
Thanks for your great work as usual.
