Although not written in stone, I try to stick to a minimum 3.5% yield. Still lots of good companies fitting that bill imho. With twelve 3.5%+ companies on the list and these possibilities, depending on the depth of the next pullback, stumblers get canned. lol!

Bought some MSI.UN Morneau Sobeco Pensions and Human Resources consultants.. 10+% yield.. Selling when divi is cut ... well it's nice to look for companies that have a record of increasing dividend.. You and I are buying some that are higher risk, or at least higher beta. I tend to trade around a core position.. Your APF.UN is also in the realm of takeover target (like BPT.UN, NPI.UN) by a big polluter like a Transalta for future carbon credits.. Yield a tad low for the risk I see in these plays .. I consider my holdings like TRP, ENB and FTS to be more solid but yield is lower, I got those three with about 5% though during the meltdown... TBS
