Q: Hello 5i,
I will be doing a bit of rebalancing and could initiate either a half a position in any two of these names or a full position in one of them.
Dividend safety is paramount with dividend growth secondary to that. From a rebalancing perspecive, TRI would be the most beneficial to add.
All transactions within a TFSA.
So, my questions are:
1. Is now a good time to add to any/all of these?
2. What ranking would you give them in terms of dividend safety?
3. What ranking for dividend growth?
4. What ranking for equity growth?
Please deduct as many credits as you feel are appropriate.
Thanks!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: I really can't understand DOO.
I have been investing for 15 years and have never seen this. DOO has beating earnings 9 out of the last 9 times and the stock, after reaching
$51 on Monday is now below $41.
I know there is no news to account for this drop.
Can there be something we do not know about that is the reason?
Can that sale of stock in September still have an effect on this stock?
Maybe Trump has plans to only tax Ski-Doos?
