Backbone Stocks

I was asked for a list of what I thought my backbone stocks were in my portfolio. I have done a spreadsheet to show them and some pertinent information on each stock. Below, I have some comments on some of these stocks.

First, I will mention Pembina. What can I say, but that I really like pipelines. I have made a great deal of dividend income from pipeline stocks over the years.

I have RIOCan. I rent, not own where I live. Having some real estate is good, although I lean towards industrial and retail rather than apartment REITS.

I have Bank of Montreal as a maybe. This is because I might get rid of some of it. If I were buying banks today, I would get Royal Bank, TD and Bank of Nova Scotia. I do not believe I would buy Bank of Montreal. I have had this bank since the 1970’s. However, it is not the same bank as it was when I bought it back then. The rest of the maybes I am just trying out.
