Q: I recently sold my full positions in both of these banks and realized significant capital gains to use as income in my RRIF. Most big banks stocks have climbed since increasing their dividends so I'm not sure which one or two to buy next. I have done well over the years by buying the laggards, collecting dividends and waiting for conditions to improve. Which relatively poor performers would you suggest I consider next and why?

Q: Hi, is it a good time to add to CDN banks, with expectation of higher rates and trend for returning capital to shareholders. If so, which ones will you consider as winners, over next several years ? Could you rate them, in order of priority ? in the same token, do you have a particular view on CIBC as the dividend yield and P/E ratio seem to be most attractive in the group ? Thank You

Q: Hello,

Could you recommend 5 of your favourite stocks (US or CDN) that provide a healthy mix of dividend yield and growth outlook?

This would be for a Smith Maneuvre with interest rate at 2.95%. Ideal scenario would be to get yield to be at 3% with some growth outlook on a 5 year time horizon.

Thanks very much.

Q: Hi, I'm looking to save and invest $X every week into the market. I could either:

1) Buy etf's as there is really no commission on the purchases
2) Buy individual stocks as the funds accumulate. Commission is only ~$5, what would be the minimum $ amount to invest so that it's worth it?

If I were to choose option 1, what would be your two or three ETF choices for either dividend growth or pure capital gains growth. Same for option 2, what two or three individual dividend growth or growth stocks would you choose to allocate capital to every week or two?

Thanks!

Q: What 4 dividend stocks or ETFs would you suggest for a long term hold to see the power of compounding

Q: I have the impression that among the large Canadian banks you still favour BNS. Looking at a 1-year chart comparison, I see that even the usual laggards, CIBC and Laurentian Bank, have been doing better than BNS. By sticking with BNS, do you anticipate better performance going forward? (I own it and have not been overly impressed - what is the rationale for hanging on to it?)

Q: With all the speculation about major dividend increases once restrictions are lifted, would investment in banks be a good short term strategy (hoping for a boost upon announcements), or has the expectation already been cooked into current prices? Any guesses as to who will announce the largest increase?

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor, who usually follows a fully invested, buy-and-hold strategy for the long term but trims-adds around core positions to achieve the targeted asset allocation. I currently have <4% cash in the combined family portfolio.

Question #1 = for new monies into my wife's account as they become available, please rank the order in which you would invest into BCE, LNF, NWC....and why? I'm looking at where is the most Total Return upside over the foreseeable future. Ignore asset allocation, I've got that covered.

2 questions...please deduct 2 credits.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.....Steve
