I currently own Magna but, considering recent events/performance and murkier outlook, am exploring possibly making a switch. I am looking at CTC.A, LNF, and QSR. Please indicate order of preference for a 5-year hold and short explanation of rationale.
I'd be open to suggestions of other stocks in the Consumer Cyclical space with >3% dividend if you think there are better options.
Thanks in advance,

Q: I have owned these stocks in my non-registered account for 12 years except ETF IGM, T, CTC.A (bought 2 yr ago - up a fair bit). T bought 5 years or so ago. GSY, MFC & GRT.UN a year ago - all 3 up nicely. I buy dividend growers for the most part. I have been retired for quite a while - so, more interested in dividend growth. Large portfolio with banks 40% of total. Do not worry about market downturns: add to positions when they go on sale -08/09 and 2020. Sitting on cash and looking to add to these positions . Do not own ENF.CA - typo. Suggestions?? IFC 5-6 years up 220% including dividends.
