Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Many times when you are asked for a good dividend stock for a long term hold QSR makes the cut. Today Marco asked for top 5 consumer discretionary names, it did not make that cut while AW.UN and PLC did. Do you view QSR less positively than those names?
Thanks for all you do

Q: I recently transferred my employer TFSA account to my trading account, so I now manage my entire TFSA. I have many solid growth names, and have XIU and BNS as a dividend/diversification play.

I am looking for a solid set it and forget it Dividend play to DRIP, and have some share price appreciation for long term.

Would BAM or FTS be your top pick for this type of thing? Can you provide say 7 or 8 of your top picks for dividend growth, business development runway, and a higher dividend? I had considered growing XIU significantly to drip more, since its diversification almost guarantees the set it and forget side of things.

Thanks for all your recent help! I'm definitely ripping through some credits this month. ;)

Q: Hi, I've heard that over the long term, dividends make up the most significant portion of one's stock market gains. Is this true? When I look at my winners, (CSU for one), it's not, but in any case, could you list 3-5 of your current favorite dividend growers?
Thanks as always, Rod

Q: MTY or QSR: which best buy? I am thinking mild recession - maybe better price of entry later? I do not own any stocks in this group. Not sure I need to own? Not big dividend growers which is my mantra. Too many good blue chips avai8lable that are good dividend growers.
