Q: Hello 5i,
I am down 25% with Verizon. As an income investor, should I just hang on and collect dividends as I wait for the turnaround or sell, take the hit and get something else?

Q: Hi 5i,
I am turning 72 and moving from an RRSP to a RIF and think this portfolio should be more orientated towards income.

In that light I wonder if you could suggest some replacement stocks for the non dividend paying TMUS and DIS on the US side of my RIF? Thanks as usual for you help.

I am looking for some US income suggestions.

What do you think about selling them all and reinvesting in AAPL, MSFT, BRK and AMZN. Any alternatives you can suggest. I don't mind forgoing the income.

Many Thanks

Q: Is Verizon a value trap? It has been drifting lower, and wondering if this is due to interest rates (in which case it will rebound if rates drop) or a lack of growth prospects that will forever blunt its share price. I'm fine with it as a dividend payer if it is sustainable, but at present it is bleeding off capital that still puts me in the hole. If it's share price isn't going to recover, should I dump it?
