Q: Recently bought this stock because of the dividend security(hopefully) but I'm surprised by the downward pressure on this stock with the dividend ex-date just 2 days away I could be wrong but wouldn't some people just be hanging on for the ex date and then possibly dumping it as it almost seems to be in free fall despite being so close to that date your thoughts on this theory and also on the company here getting dangerously close to two digits YIKES thx

Q: Hi Peter, a follow up on my last question about voting and non-voting shares. Today Corby voting shares traded 14000+ shares and non-voting shares traded 665. Did you get part of the answer backward?

Q: Looking to add TRP ( already have ENB ) to my RRSP for some income but am somewhat concerned if there were to be a recession - would this be considered a "Utility " thus less likely to take a hard hit or would I be better looking at BEP.UN, FTS, AQN or EMA and if so, which would you recommend at this time ? Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Q: The rich get richer, which is why David Thomson is increasing his stake in TRI without lifting a finger, just like Buffet. The weekend Financial Post covered the controversial area of why companies love to do stock buybacks and why it is not really in shareholders' interests. The above stocks were mentioned for Canada.

I'd be interested in knowing which 5i portfolio companies are most active in buybacks and which take no part among all the portfolios.

Q: The only one I've owned and still do in this group is SLF - been a great investment over last 10 years +. I was thinking of buying MFC for my wife's portfolio since she does not have an insurance company. MFC's balance sheet looks great: very little debt., low pay-out ratio (lots of room to increase dividends). The stock seems to languish - low interest rate environment, I guess? Do you like this one for the long haul??
