Q: It's been said that this name has the best balance sheet in the producer business - would you agree and if so, would that make a dividend cut less likely, come what may?

Q: Husky is in an unloved sector and has never been a preferred name in that sector for various reasons, but at $10.70 is it getting to a point where it should be considered over some of the usual go to names. The yield is decent and the balance sheet is good... not sure why it is getting punished so severely for a q that seemed within expectations.

Q: I am hanging on to Quarterhill pending news on the Apple court case. It has been in a narrow trading range for three weeks now. They offer no press release but I think earnings is August 12. There are rumours that the US courts may consider all patents worthless. Is this true. If so, Quarterhill could be worth nothing. I own a lot so am a little concerned about this rumour, true or false. Thanks.

Q: I've owned Game Host since 2016 mostly for income. I used its monthly 5% dividends and put them towards my mortage payments. Since my mortgage interest is now 2.85%, I think it makes sense. I just wanted to check if the company is still doing "ok" to continue with my strategy (GH.CA is a 2.0% position relative to my total account and 1 of 5 income stocks that pay my mortgage interest). Could you share some of its metrics, like debt-to-equity and other metrics that matter to income stocks?

Q: A good chunk of my TFSA was chugging along nicely to the tune of KWH and its nice dividend, but ... alas ... no more!

Thinking of redistributing the money into WCP ... or any of the others in the energy sector mentioned above. Your thoughts?

I've also been toying with avoiding the sector altogether in this account (since I hold Enbridge and Algonquin Power in an RSP) ... and stepping over to Savaria?

The crystal ball question (without holding anybody to account is!) ... is ... which is likely to do better ... the energy picks, or Savaria? (I'm looking for a dividend with some growth in this account.)

If I should avoid ALL of these at the moment, any other thoughts on "growth with dividend"?

Thanks, as always!
