Q: I’m a62 year old retired investor with an excellent DB Pension and I’m working on a supplemental cash flow with my TFSAs,I have held the above stocks for about 4 years all roughly 10-12K in value and have been set up as DRIPs
My question is could you recommend another 8-10 Cdn dividend stocks($ 100K of room) I would add to this account coming from another TFSA,these could possibly have 4-6 % capitol growth and 4-6% dividend yield and in 3 years I would go from a DRIP to monthly or quarterly cash payments,I am medium risk and the sectors would not matter ….Thanks Greg

Q: Hi. I have tried a couple times to submit this question now...

My kids have a family RESP. Oldest child will be starting post-secondary in 9 years.

Currently have GLXY, BN, SIS and T.
What will be good holdings to add to this? If sector diversification is not taken into consideration, what will be good to add?

Thank you.

Q: Just wanted to get your current views on SLF in light of last week's earnings. I note RBC's recent comments...

“SLF’s underlying EPS was higher than our estimate and consensus, but the U.S. segment had higher than expected experience losses related to Dental and stop-loss,” he said. “We do not expect material unfavourable stop-loss experience to persist into 2026, but we expect the Dental business to remain challenged throughout our forecast period; we lower our U.S. estimates.”"

I have noticed challenges with the US segment in recent quarters, so wondering if you would ADD or HOLD at current levels.

Thank you for the great service.
