Hi Wendy, I think the real question is whether these three Canadian companies can/will maintain their dividends if the economy slows more and what will happen to Canadian interest rates, which have already moved up. Ask your broker both of these questions and see what he says. You could also talk to the broker about maybe writing some call options to provide some downside protection. John PS - If you feel uncomfortable, put enough into either a T-Bill or Money Market mutual fund on a rally to make you feel safer and then see if you can buy back in lower in three or four months, if your capital gains tax situation permits this.
