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

Q: I hold this prefferred stock for years, bought by my then financial adviser. Is 5% of my RRSP portofolio with return -6.89%. It looks like dead money, I think it may be better holding TRP or other income stock. Not sure how this stock works, can I sell it or is better to hold until expires (not sure when?)

Q: Hello,

If there is never another new pipeline built in Canada (which I feel is a real possibility), how would you view pipelines companies as long term investments going forward?

Regards,

Robert

Q: I'm down 15 percent with ENB and 20 percent with RUF.UN. To maintain the same spaces for long term holding and for tax loss purpose, is it advisable to trade ENB for TRP and RUF.UN for CAR.UN?
Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
I am thinking of increasing my weight to 6 percent each for Enbridge and TransCanada to take advantage of the weakness in stock declines during this week. Overall, i am down on both names but expect to keep them for 3 to 5 years as the dividends are great. My covalon technologies position has gone up alot and am thinking of selling half. Lastly, Alimentation couche tard does not seem to be getting too much attention on the positive side as the stock is simply building a base in the low 60s. I would appreciate your opinion on the four stocks please. Thanks very much.
