Q: Hello,

Happy New Year! What are your thoughts on SIR corp. They seem to have an attractive dividend..but ..is this a red flag? or a good time to pick up a few..NWH.un had an attractive dividend a few years ago with over 10% and then had some decent capital gains..Would you consider this a similar opportunity? Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: I am looking over VCI for yield. I see the last payment was a paltry .03! Compare this to a .13 payout earlier it seems a rather large fluctuation.
Is this strictly a quarter to quarter variation in the business or did they overpay early and cut back subsequently? I was hoping to see more stability in payout considering the lack of growth in the name. Could you give some colour on all this?

TIA

Q: Hello Peter, I am thinking of shifting my portfolio to bit more defensive and generate some income too -
1. option 1 - To increase allocation to fixed income / bond type position.
2. option 2 - To buy more of defensive positions - like BNS, BCE, CU, FTS, MCD, HD, JNJ,
3. Counter position - that would have counter move to market drop.
Question - How would you approach / handle the situation and what would be your choice in each option.
Thanks

Q: Hi, I just have a question about holding CAD listed stocks that currently pay dividends in CAD$. If the stocks are also US listed, how do I go about getting the dividends in US$ if I wanted to?? Do I need to ask my broker to convert the cad stock to the US equivalent? In that case, would they just convert it at the current FX rate and would I get them to journal it over? Would I use norbert gambit to do this possibly to save on FX conversion? Any advice would be great!

Thanks!
