Q: In our combined RRIF's, my wife and I have a 10.88% weighting in Financials (TD, BNS, PWF) of which PWF is 2.7%. I would like to buy more lifeco shares and wonder whether I should sell the PWF and put the proceeds into SLF, or just buy SLF to make up about 5% of total portfolios weighting.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team

I don't currently own any senior living or healthcare stocks in my Canadian portfolio and have enough cash to add a full position in one company (or a half position in two) at this point. Stability and reliable dividends are priorities for me. Dividend growth would be nice. The ability to trade options would be a plus. Throughout this portfolio I've be focusing on adding Canadian companies with significant operations in the USA. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Peter

do either Exxon or CVS fit my investor personality ?
if so which would you think is "better" value today relative to future growth potential ?

Q: I recently took a half position in TPK in the low 6's. I'm hoping for growth plus a solid dividend.
Today they reported earnings. Sounds like a strong Q4 helped salvage the year.
I'm curious on your thoughts given their recent report.
Is this a good long term hold? (5+)
Is the dividend safe/could it grow?
What is the payout ratio?
Should I add to my position at these levels or wait?
Thanks!
