Q: Hello ,I became familiar with various US ETF in different styles ,they represent now 70% of my RRSP US portfolio .I know that the risk is "supposingly" higher with stocks .I own 7 high quality US large Cies stocks that perform well.I wish to invest in some more US individual dividend stocks that you would consider at low risk , enough to hopefully avoid considering selling them in the future.Could you name and rank,if possible 7 US stocks that would meet those criterias..thanks to your excellent team J-Y

Q: Seems to me that the market must be offering up some strong, well run companies that, for some strange reason, are trading at much lower prices than what they deserve. These kinds companies pay a good dividend, have a strong balance sheet and their forward earnings look good and dependable. (perhaps you call these kinds of companies 'value' companies). Anway, here's my question, I would like to begin investing in them and would appreciate your opinion on a number of these value companies that I should consider adding to my portfolio. Perhaps 6 Canadian and 6 American. Thanks as always for your appreciated opinion.
