Q: Hi 5i Team,
Please provide your stock recommendations (growth companies) for an investor who is interested in making regular fixed lump sum contributions to the same entities month after month . Time horizon for contributing to the holdings is 2-3 years.
Thanks for your great work!

Q: Hi 5i Team

I'm interested in reviewing the dividend history of Canadian pipelines, utilities, reits and other income stocks over the long run, namely through recessions and interest rate movements (the tagged companies are representative). I'm trying to determine if the dividends remain fairly stable or tend to fall under these circumstances.
Can you suggest a source that would help by showing dividends for a company over the long run? Ideally, overlaying short/long term interest rates to save time.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Peter

Q: I am noticing that alot of investors are very worried about a market correction. It is a fact that the market will drop at one point but are we overdoing it at this point and time. If the market is to have a correction in the next 12 to 16 months isnt it still time to be invested in the stronger sectors and maby pull back on the weaker ones

Q: Hello 5i team,
I appreciate your response to my question regarding "what to do in view of an impending recession".
Less equity and more fixed income would indeed make sense. I suppose that I could start with the holdings in the Income portfolio; but, of the balanced equity portfolio, which would you consider as "aggressive" and which would you consider as "more defensive".
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: I am really confused by insider trading charts. I know you've said that sometimes insiders need cash for personal projects, but when I see a lot of red, I get worried. I would like to buy FSS. Can you tell me if the selling is a signal for not buying? I would love it if you did a blog on how to read insider trading charts.

Q: I am retired living on dividend income. I am interested in ZWU to increase my dividend income with its yield of 6.30%.
However, I noticed that it's cash distribution has been decreasing since Jan 2017. How is its cash distribution determined? With rising interest rates, will it's cash distribution continue to decrease? What income etf yielding over 4.5% would you recommend in this market? What percent position would you recommend for income ETFs?
