Q: Hello 5i,
Now that interest rates have increased wouldn't you expect the likes of SLF and MFC etc to benefit sufficiently to tilt them towards improved momentum? Lots to worry about out there - is it just tunnel vision - the "fear" and worry being more prominent than fundamentals at the moment ?
Thank you

Q: I am considering adding to a number of these Income Generating names. I know you are generally not a fan of averaging down but is there an entry point that you would add to these names in the current market.

Thanks

Q: hi,
I was reading questions/answers this am. I noticed "John" today asked what to do with 4 equities that are down right now (AQN,Alaris, cargo jet,goeasy). I agree these seem like holds or buys right now. however, I am guessing John was looking for dividend payers with some growth(opposed to high growth, perhaps more speculative stocks), to swap with his current 4 (3,2,1??) equities he has at loss. he is retired. I am in a similar position, and would like your thoughts on potential dividend payers with some growth ( ie capital gains keeping up with inflation, at least ). cheers, chris
