i do a mix of divi growth and growth stocks, for the most part have done well could have done better but i get wacky every so often and make mistakes

i do like the top 5 canadian banks--been okay for my porfolio, long term

i grasp between my divi players and my growth players

it's a feel good seeing that divi come in but then again, seeing the balance of my growth stocks, idk, those balances are really nice lol

i guess, i'm spread out between growth and value--so if the tides change i should be okay

So, I think it all depends on where you are on your road to retirement. I am trying to help my mom - she has ~40% of her portfolio in the vanilla S&P ETF, the rest is cash... growth isn't important to her - capital preservation and income are. She would be very happy earning 4-5% on something that doesn't decline in value over 10 years...

That's a target you can hit without unnecessary risk.  She is likely to see some capital appreciation as well.  There are not a lot of them at the moment but when the defensive sectors dip you can grab a slow growth company that doesn't have a lot for fleas, but does have a solid dividend history.

You got ideas on these slow growth companies that are safe in that yield range?
