Q: Greetings! I need to buy some safe dividend growth stocks for income, and a very long term hold. I already own plenty of bank stocks, telecom, ENB, ENF, IPL, MSI, FTS, AQN, CU.
This for a non-registered account, so .UN stocks are not of benefit. I have looked at the Income Model Portfolio. What would you consider to be good buys right now, whether or not the stocks are in the Model Portfolio? I also have a curiosity about EIF. Thank you.

Q: I am currently considering selling Transcanada for a small tax loss-$2000- and immediatly buying Enbridge. This would give me a rather large allocation to Enbridge, which I currently own, as well.

Just wondering whether it was worth the trouble. And possibly the risk of having a large allotment to one stock. Do you think Enbridge has a big chance of rising much more than TRP? or, are they likely to rise at the same pace? (that is, of course, if they rise).

I guess I am asking you to put your magical, look into the future glasses on here, but I am sure you would have a better idea than me on this.
thanks once again

Q: Hi, Peter and Ryan, I am in a postion to adjust my well diversified portfolio by adding to 2 of the above currently owned companies or additionally adding RME to the portfolio. My cash position is 4.6% at this time. What is your recommendation today? Alternatively there is no rush so do I wait a bit longer.

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you please recommend some good dividend paying Canadian stocks that behave well during recessions. Can you also generalize and comment on the type of stocks that behave well and poorly during recessions.
thanks

Q: I am moving many of my fixed income investments from bond funds to preferred shares with a minimum guaranteed rate (yes I know the dividends are not guaranteed). I am trying to decide between TRP.PR.J and TRP.PR.K. Currently J yields 5.22% while K yields 4.73%. It appears J is the better choice. Do you agree? When would K be preferred if at all?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

If one is bearish on pipelines, what do you think of a switch from TRP to PKI, in a TFSA, so that an appropriate weighting in energy could be maintained? Or do you have any other suggestions? All time period charts for these two stocks show PKI beating TRP, and PKI has a lower beta.

Thanks in advance for your valued advice.

Q: Hi, there is an article on Motley Fool today that lists these 3 stocks as forever hold (especially on recent pullbacks) for value, growth and dividend growth. What is your take on this? I have 30+ years and use any drips available. I already own bns as well. Do you know if anything that presents major issues or headwinds for them?

Thanks
